Self - defense is more than just punching and kicking. It is more than just the physical techniques; It is an attitude and a way of life.
It can be something as simple as the way you walk down the street - hold your head up and keep your eyes alert to your surroundings. You will look more confident and less like a victim this way than if you walk with your head down, watching your feet.
If you look and act like a potential victim you may find yourself becoming a victim.
