- Self Defense for women and children,
I was born and raised in the midwest. I have been happily married for 27 years and we have two sons- one in the Air Force fulltime and the other in high school. I have been employed at a large health care center as long as I have been married and currently work at a cardiology clinic.
I obtained my black belt in TaeKwo Do in my late 30s. I have lead workshops on self defense with children and young adults. I believe that self defense starts with self awareness, the ability to thoroughly sense your surroundings. I teach basic avoidance behaviors and I also stress knowing what action to take when threatened.
My website is: SelfDefense-4-Women.com
Contrary to the title I believe that anyone- no matter their gender- can learn from these techniques.

Self Defense While Walking
Self defense starts with self awareness. You should always be conscious of what’s happening around you. Let’s say you are out for your daily exercise walk. I try to walk for twenty minutes during my lunch break from work. I work for a large medical center that advocates this activity by mapping out indoor routes, through the various hallways, tunnels and building connections complete with mileage. If I’m walking indoors due to adverse weather (which is 75% of the time here in the upper Midwest) I do wear my MP3 player.

Psychic Self Defense
As mysterious as psychic self defense sounds, it is an intuition skill we all can hone and polish once we understand it. I’m not saying that some of us don’t actually have mind reading capabilities.

How To Avoid Becoming The Victim Of A Date Rape Drug
Date rape is a serious crime. There are steps a woman can take to reduce the chances of it happening to her. When going on a date- whether it’s a formal “date” or just a get together with just the two of you- always let someone else know your plans. Inform them where you are going, who you are going to be with and when you plan on returning. This can be a friend, roommate or family member, and then let them know when you return, or where you are when you retire for the night.

Psychic Self Defense
Psychic self defense sounds pretty mysterious. The fact is that most of us have some psychic ability. Some will call it a sixth sense, intuition, instinct even a hunch. Some of us are just more observant than others; paying attention. If your sense of hearing, smell or sight is acute you may be able to predict an inevitable event. For example, if you can hear better than your companions, you would be the first to know that a train is coming, that someone is approaching on foot, that a flock of ducks are flying by. You may smell a gas leak, a wild animal or a woman’s lingering perfume.
