Everything is s Weapon

Remember everything you have in your hands can be used as a weapon----some of the most effective tools are actual weapons such, pepper spray, kubaton, stun gun...etc---put your phone away when walking any where---it's a distraction as well as it occupies your hands. Your hands are one of your tools for self-defense

Pepper Spray

The use of the following items is to stun and hurt an attacker enough to get away----remember seconds count---these may afford you more time

Remember also, when using any of the following you need to strike hard---practice is important too as well as mind set---if you've already made up your mind before something happens and how you will act, than if it ever happens you will already know what to do, you will not have to think about it, it will come more naturally---seconds count
