Learning self defense is not just learning to kick and punch. Self defense begins with not thinking of yourself as a victim. Attackers choose their victims the way predators choose their prey. They always go after the sick, isolated, young or old because they are an easy kill. If you look strong, alert and healthy, you have a much better chance of being left alone. However, if an attacker puts you in a situation that requires you to fight back, there are some simple principles that can possibly help save your life.
