Annotation
We live in a world in which violence and lawlessness become a sad reality. Our cities are overpopulated. A huge number of people are unemployed, have no families and live on the streets. In such circumstances, they often act outside the law, trying to achieve what they want through crime. At the same time, television is filled with scenes of violence and sex, which further stimulates aggressiveness. Violent films, alcohol and drugs affect people's behavior. In a word, in modern society there is a rich ground for crime. These days, no one is safe from violence in the streets.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of girls and women are attacked around the world. The reasons are different, from hooligan motives to robberies and attempted rape. Women are called weaker sex, but do you always need to have tremendous strength to protect yourself from the criminal and is it possible to save your life and honor? This book will tell you how to behave during an attack, what to do to protect yourself. It will teach you the most effective and simple techniques for self-defense, which every woman, regardless of age, size, level of training, can use to deal with any criminal.
This book presents the optimal set of techniques and support exercises from different schools and combat training systems, with which you can draw up an effective personal security program. It is based on the principle of necessity and sufficiency. Too much training material takes too much time to master, which many do not have. At the same time, too little knowledge may not be sufficient to understand the basic principles of self-defense in general. Of course, there are no universal methods in life, so if something is not clear to you, try to find the opportunity to consult a qualified specialist in this field.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Self-defense is not just knowledge of techniques. It begins with the right psychological attitude and simple precaution. This will allow you foresee a possible assault and avoid it. If you are nevertheless attacked, mastery of self-defense techniques will help to successfully repel it.
The purpose of this book is to teach you how violence can be prevented and repelled. You should remember that 90 percent successful self-defense is to avoid an attack. The remaining 10 percent falls on its physical reflection. Starting a fight is much easier than avoiding it. But in any situation - both when avoiding the attack, and when repelling it - the most important is psychological attitude. To minimize the likelihood of a confrontation, you should feel confident in any situation, especially in one that most fraught with trouble.
Before embarking on self-defense issues, I dare to give a few tips on how to behave with a potential adversary. First of all, it must be remembered that on the scale of human values health and life occupies the first place, so without special need not get involved in the street fights. If an offender comes up to you with the infamous the phrase: "Money or Life!" You should unconditionally give the wallet. After all, even the most famous master of martial arts is not immune from accidents: he can slip, to stumble, leading to irreparable consequences. I also recommend not provoking an attacker by excessive coquetry, excessively extravagant style of clothing and a wealth of jewelry.
However, there are such situations when it is necessary to give a fitting rebuff. If you feel that youre your efforts of negotiating with the gangster fails that your life and health in danger, act calmly and decisively. You can use any available tools: stones, sticks, even a pencil or hairpins. It will not be superfluous knowledge of self-defense techniques.
Women's self-defense is pretty simple. This is because the attacker is not expects active resistance from a weak woman. Skillful actions of you will definitely shock any offender. In addition, a man, who attacks a woman, is usually not seeks to quickly beat or kill her. So there is always a few seconds to internally prepare for effective defense.
To learn techniques you need a partner. It is better if it is a person who is far superior to you in physical strength. Movements must be performed first and very slowly, achieving their cohesion and smoothness, then gradually accelerating and bringing them to real conditions. However, you don't have to make too much effort not to hurt your partner. Start mastering the technique after a short warm-up, warming up muscles and joints.
In conclusion, I would like to wish readers not to find themselves in situations that will require the application of knowledge in practice. May learning help you gain and build self-confidence.
Chapter 2. How to avoid violence
There are some tips below, which will hopefully help women in extreme situations.
1. An attack can occur anywhere, but there are more dangerous places, these are dark parks, porches, other people's cars. Avoid them. Ask to meet you from the work of your husband, father, if you return late. Do not get in cars with unfamiliar people, even if women are inside these cars too. Give the number of the taxi you got into by phone to your family.
2. Your hands should be as free as possible. Try not to go with bags in dangerous places.
3. Do not talk on the phone when walking through a dangerous place. Firstly, you are demonstrating a smartphone to a potential robber, and secondly, at this moment you are helpless. Your attention is diverted to the telephone interlocutor.
