You've seen it in the movies,A girl walks through an isolated parking garage suddenly,an evil-looking guy jumps out from behind a SUV.Girl jabs bad guy in the eyes with her keys-or maybe she kicks him in a certain sensitive place.Either way while he's squirming,she leaps into her car and speeds to safety!
That's the movies. Here's the real-life action replay: When the girl goes to jab or kick the guy, he knows what's coming and grabs her arm (or leg), pulling her off balance. Enraged by her attempt to fight back, he flips her onto the ground. Now she's in a bad place to defend herself — and she can't run away.....
Many/Most people think of self defense as a karate kick to the groin or jab in the eyes of an attacker.But self defense actually means doing everything possible to avoid fighting someone who threatens/attacks,self defense is all about using your smarts(brain) -not your fists,how many of us knew this ??
For me personally I think that this topic is certainly arguable because many of us would take part,or have taken part of self defense,we do this so that if we was too ever become attacked we would know how to defened ourselves,But what happens when you intend to defend yourself,whilst someone is attacking you with a Gun and it just happened so that the gun,the attacker tried to hurt you with you end up killing them,but you did it all in the name of defending yourself?? You never meant for it to happen!
I found a very interesting newspaper article that I have read,and found it very useful to the topic that I am discusing,Two UK cage-fighting champion women who take part in mixed -martial arts,Rosi Sexton and Lisa Higo both of them strive to be the best in what is still a male-dominated sport which is flooded by an array of common misconceptions...When Lisa Higo was 16 she was the victim of an attempted mugging in Leeds Market.She managed to get away but the knifepoint attack left her badly shaken.Her first reaction was to come home for a cry.When she calmed down,however she made a resolution that would change her life. '' I thought,I really need to know what to do' she recalls.'' I need to be able to look after myself,I have to do something physical because it was a physical atatack.'' Twenty years on anyone trying to mug her would soon regret it.
There is a video below on a youtube video where Lisa Higo and other female cage fighting women are training for the Ultimate Women Challenge.
So do I think that Self defense is a bad thing?....And dangerous? Yes and No,I'm being hypocritical....My reasons underpinning are because Self defense,is a countermeasure or system that involves defending oneself,one's property or the wellbeing of another from physical harm,...However if the self defense ended up in murder whereby your attacker had a gun,and they tried to use it against you but you shot them,whilst trying to defend yourself this is then to me Bad and Morally wrong,because murder is wrong!
