How You Can Teach Somebody About Personal Defense At An Early Age

By Relph C Soles


I overheard Uncle Donnie ask my daddy precisely what was much better, stun gun or pepper spray for protection. He was familiar that our household had been using personal defense items, those two types in particular as well as others. We make use of both mainly since these are non-deadly and also give no permanent harm, and their own effects, although fast, fade away shortly.

Daddy started with self defense sprays that were very easy to hide in the hand as well as could target opponents successfully even from a distance. They either wound up shouting in pain from the burning feeling to the skin or slamming their eyes shut, or gagging for air.

The very first occasion he had to use one, he was amazed that a quick one-second burst from a potent pepper spray, the sort having no less than 10 percent concentration of oleoresin capsicum, knocked down a thief seeking to grab his bag.

With more confidence in making use of self-defense devices, father tested stun guns. While he likewise went for the easily handled designs, he chose a low voltage stun device for milder effects. He cringed the first time he test-fired his stun weapon and felt the shock vibrate and electrical energy sizzle from the prongs.

He recognized without doubt that contact with a stun weapon is going to knock any aggressor off balance or result in muscle spasms that would make him forget his bad plan. The secret, however, is to have the courage to stick the stun device to a vulnerable part of the body.

While we were younger, our parents weren't confident with permitting us to make use of self-defense sprays or stun devices. But father thought exposing us to instructional fight videos would at least provide us with basic know-how to safeguard ourselves in case of trouble in the streets.

These were less expensive as compared to attending sessions and we could all study at our own pace and practice whenever we wanted or had time. The skills we learned appeared simple but were truly vicious.

Thus, in my opinion, having street-fighting skills was a lot better than a stun gun or pepper spray for defense when I had yet to attain legal age for using either device.
