How To Choose A Self Defense Product
Let's face it, martial arts and other physical self-defense
courses aren't for everybody. They can be time consuming and
expensive for some - and others may not be able to handle the
physical strain of them. It is quite a commitment to learn a
self-defense discipline, and that is often a commitment that
cannot be made by some.
That's why there is an increase in the use of self-defense
products by people. Whether it is carrying pepper spray on a key
chain for convenience, or a taser in your purse for that ounce
of protection, self-defense products are another way to protect
yourself in the face of danger.
Sometimes, the mere sight of a person carrying a self-defense
product is enough to scare even the most stout-hearted assailant
from your path, and provide you with enough time to get away and
ward off the attack.
Here are some of the most popular types of self-defense products
on the market, and a brief description of their use:
* Tasers - these lightweight and compact items can be carried
and concealed in a purse or inside jacket pocket. These
self-defense products will immobilize your attacker by injecting
a high voltage into them when you touch them with it. It's
common name 'stun gun' is used because it stuns your attacker
when you strike them with the voltage. This weapon is commonly
used by security professionals to subdue criminals, but it does
not carry enough amperage to inflict serious or permanent injury.
* Pepper spray - this is one of the most common self-defense
products on the market today. You can carry a small and
concealed pepper sprayer on your key chain, in your pocket, or
in your purse or jacket. It is used by spraying your attacker in
the eyes, creating an intense burning pain in the eyes. The
active ingredient in many pepper sprays is paprika powder, which
is highly abrasive and causes severe water and burning in the
eyes. It is just enough to give you a moment or two to subdue
your attacker and make a quick escape.
*
SAP Gloves - Sometimes you are forced to fight back against
your attacker, so why not have a little bit behind your blows.
SAP gloves are commonly used by law enforcement professionals
when the need for physical defense is called upon. High tensile
steel has been sown into the knuckles of these gloves for added
power to punches. They will quickly subdue attackers when they
are struck, giving you a way to get out of the situation quickly.
* Electronic alarms - If you sense the presence of an attacker,
you can simply and easily enact the alarm to send out a
high-pitched and extremely loud siren that will alert others to
your situation. The last thing an assailant wants is to attract
attention to themselves, and increasing their chance of being
caught. These are compact items that will often get you out of a
situation before it arrives upon the actual point of attack.
* Pen Knives - these are pens that conceal a small knife inside
when they are broken apart. You can carry these self-defense
products and not have anyone even know you are carrying them.
However, they can be extremely effective in the case of an
attack.
These are some of the most common self-defense products on the
market. Used effectively, they can save your life, and prevent
you from getting any serious injuries. The best defense is to be
prepared, and having any one of these self-defense products is
going to increase your chance to ward off and attack, and give
you the much needed opportunity to escape unharmed.
