• First, remember that prevention is the best self-defense. Attackers, whatever their objectives, are looking for unsuspecting, vulnerable targets. So be sure to follow general safety tips like being aware of your surroundings, only walking and parking in well-lit areas, keeping your keys in hand as you approach your door or car, varying your route and times of travel, and other personal security precautions.
• Apart from avoiding confrontation, if you can defuse a situation (talk someone down from physically assaulting you) or get away by handing over your wallet/purse or whatever they want, do that. Hand over your money rather than fight. Nothing you own is worth more than your life or health.
• If violence is unavoidable, however, to really defend yourself, you’ll want to know ahead of time how to fight back effectively it’s possible even against someone bigger or stronger than you. Here are some basic self-defense techniques that can keep you safe.
