None of that is necessary.

The best form of self defence, as I have posted on this forum before, is Llap Goch, the ancient Welsh art of self defence.

Re: Self-defence for the older person

unless u can act like Jason stathom forget the handling bit '

the best thing is a alarm that screams blue murder in your pocket or bag ' or pepper straight to the face ; it will cause enough confusing for a run off.

I've heard that hair spray to the face is effective too, and perfectly legal for women (and I suppose certain men) to carry in their handbag!

Re: Self-defence for the older person

When once my path was repeatedly blocked by a man who demanded a cigarette after pointing at the one I was smoking. I saw that his t-shirt was tucked in. I donated my own lit cigarette to his quest, down inside the front of his t-shirt and pushed him to the floor. He was even stupid enough to roll over onto his front and make the cigarette burn him even more. The guy was burned enough to scream like a bitch and would think twice before doing to somebody again, especially me!

The best self-defence in the world is to be one sandwich short of your full picnic (off your hinges) and prepared to do anything, no matter how inhumane it might seem. All I ask for is that the world does not touch me, grab me or block my path, when not invited. If they do, I process them, imaginatively, and go home and watch TV. I have no conscience about it, at all.

If they hurt me, my friends, family or neighbours, I turn them into a rest-of-life hobby, and I always get to say, "Well, they started it!"

It may be okay to be big and strong, but do you have that "natural fighting instinct" to get out of potentially life-threatening situation? Or would you run and hope for the best?

Have you ever thought about some kind of self-defence class just to give you that added self-confidence to help you in a typical situation?

No I would never think about a self defence class,..if someone wants to get you,they will!...
