With all the craziness of the Corona Virus we have forgotten about all the other problems we have in the world. Wars continue, Natural disasters destroying towns and cities, Drugs invading our countries and let’s not forget women being abused and killed.
It is estimated that 35% of women in the world have been affected by some type of crime in their life time. In some countries its even heard of 70% of women have experienced some type of crime such as sexual assault by their partner, sexual assault by a stranger, robbed, physical or verbal abuse at work and much more.
A study in certain countries shows that men that saw violence towards their mother when they were young are most likely to abuse women as they get older. These men seem to see women as inferior to them or any other male.
This Violence has caused women to look for means of protection. Some have taken up classes on how to use a gun, others carry some type of pepper spray and even stun guns are part of women’s essentials in their purse. Below are some of the most comment tools women use for self-defense:

For some time now women have taken up Martial Arts as a way of defending themselves. The Martial Arts of Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Judo, Kung Fu, Shim Myung Do, and others give the women a sense of freedom. With the practice of Shim Myung Do they can develop confidence in physical resistance and focus on breathing patterns to help them deal better when in a situation. Confidence is developed by consistently practicing the technique over and over again making it a natural movement when approached by an attacker.
The only goal in self-defense is not to beat up the attacker with martial arts techniques. The goal of self-defense is to be able to get free without injury to yourself. The best way to avoid being a victim is to prevent an attack from occurring in the first place. Here are 6 Rules of Prevention:
The 8 Golden Rules of Self Defense
- 1) Be aware of your surroundings.
- 2) Walk confidently.
- 3) Try to walk with someone always.
- 4) Have your keys in your hand.
- 6) Park in well light areas.
- 7) Yell for help. …
- 8) Take Martial Arts Classes (Shim Myung Do)
There is no sure way for women or anyone to defend themselves, but taking some kind of action is better than nothing. I would say that Martial Arts like Shim Myung Do is a good way to learn how to defend yourself as well as getting in shape. With the virus situation and everyone stuck at home now is a good time to enroll in online karate classes. Online classes give you the benefits of:
No battling with traffic
No pier pressure
Train in the comfort of your home
No weather problems
So don’t be the next victim instead be the next success story of self defense!!!
