What is Self Defense?
Increase stamina, strength & flexibility
Self-defense refers to the actions and strategies that an individual uses to prevent, counteract, or defend against physical harm. It is both a legal term and a practical set of techniques aimed at protecting oneself from violence or the threat of violence. The concept of self-defense encompasses a range of responses, from avoidance and de-escalation tactics to the use of physical force when absolutely necessary.
Legally, self-defense is recognized in many jurisdictions as a right, allowing individuals to use reasonable force to defend themselves or others when faced with an imminent threat of harm. The key elements usually include the necessity of the action, which means there must be an immediate and unavoidable threat, and the proportionality of the response, which means the force used should not exceed what is needed to avert the danger.
Practically, self-defense can involve a variety of skills, including situational awareness — being mindful of one’s environment and any potential threats — verbal skills to de-escalate conflicts, and physical techniques that can range from basic maneuvers to disarm or incapacitate an attacker, to more complex martial arts techniques. Training in self-defense can help individuals improve their physical conditioning, confidence, and preparedness to handle potentially dangerous situations safely and effectively.
