I Am Going On Vactation Soon And Will Be Walking In The Dark Alot, What Is A Good Self Defense Tip?

Carry a rolled up newspaper and use it to jab at an attacker if needed.  If you jab the gut real hard then follow through with a jab to the face (nose area) it should give you time to run for safety and help.

Also, if you need to.....reach out and grab the attackers ear and give it a twist.  It WILL come off in you hands.  Show it to the person for shock value and then stomp it into the ground before running.  Loud yelling while doing this helps.  Trust me... I Know.

I have been taking a great self defense class in the Martial Arts called Aikido. A defensive class that works at any time. Basically they aim for any pressure points.

Kick boxing is very effective .

Awareness of surroundings do not go alone if in trouble yell loud fire people tend to come to your assistance when you holler fire
