Debating on whether or not to take my very first self defense class . . .?
I Recently went up too this place near by where I live to see how much for self defense classes & the cheapest they have is $185 a month for 24 months and that covers equipment, suiting , belts & all that, the other ones for lesser months are more a month. Well they have no contract u have to sign just give a 30 day notice if you dont want to move on with the program.And I've always wanted to take a self defense class becoming more disciplined and being more aware of my surroundings I have one more place i'll check out first, but do y'all think its too much money and worth it? This is something I've always wanted too do since i was 9 years old but parents would never let me. The guy said they teach a type of street fighting and Chinese kung fu.

Rule # 1: Be vigilant (on the alert, watchful): being vigilant may not be easy to master, but once you do, it becomes as normal as breathing. By being vigilant you are able to identify problem situations, locations, and suspicious people. Now let me unpack that for you.
Time of day
· According to the bureau of justice 53% of incidents of violent crime occurred during the day between 6a.m. and 6 p.m. and almost two-thirds of the rapes/sexual assaults occurred at night from 6 p.m. to 6a.m. From these statistics we learn that 24 hours a day offenders are prowling and at no time should you let down your vigilance.
Locations
· The bureau of justice reports that the location of about a 25% of incidents of violent crime was at or near the victim’s home, about half occurring within a mile from home and 76% within five miles. Only 4% of victims of violent crime reported that the crime took place more than fifty miles from their home. Everyday life keeps most people with in thirty-fives miles of their home; these statistics tie right into the top three places woman are attacked and abducted.
· The number one place is your local grocer, number two is office parking garages and lots, and number three is public restrooms. Don’t get the impression that those are the only locations to be watchful, you need to be alert at all times wherever you are.
Problem situations
· Problem situations occur anywhere and at any time do to your own actions. Identifying bad habits will help you avoid them. Pay attention to the list below. The suggestions can make a difference.
· Never walk alone: always walk in groups or with an escort to and from your office, car, restaurant, restroom, etc. Walking alone makes you a target for an offender.
· When parking your car don’t park near large vehicles like vans that obstruct your surrounding views. Why? When you exit your car it is easy for an offender to pull you in and drive off without anybody noticing. Upon returning to your car if there is a large vehicle next to your take the appropriate precautions. For example walk down another isle so you can see clearly around your car before approaching it. At night try to park close to the entry door and under a light.
· When walking from your office, home or parking area to your car always, have keys in hand, take a moment to look around before continuing for things out of the ordinary, and resist the temptation of talking on the phone or anything else that may distract you. Walk confidently to your car get in close and lock the door before you doing anything else.
Suspicious people
· A suspicious person can be defined in two ways: the first is a person exhibiting questionable behavior; the second is a person in an area or doing something unusual or out of the norm. Suspicious behavior is something that doesn’t feel right; you may have a weird sensation or see something isn’t quite right, or out of place. A partial list of suspicious behavior follows:
- Individuals not dressed appropriately for the weather conditions. For example a long heavy coat when it’s hot outside.
- Individuals hiding their face, unwilling to make eye contact, turn away acting interested in a sign, when being approached they depart rapidly.
- Individuals in an area they don’t belong or carrying items that don’t fit what they are doing.
- Individuals hiding in shadows or behind objects so they won’t be identifiable.
- An unfamiliar individual loitering in an environment they shouldn’t be in. For example parking lots, buildings, schools and play grounds.
What you do if you see a suspicious person
· Contact the police:When contacting the police for suspicious persons provide as much information as possible. For example; Location, what direction they were headed, car license, make, model and color, ethnicity, physical description, age weight, height, hair color and length, eye color, clothing or any distinguishing marks.
