Other ways to self defence_not only by creating a scene
Self defence is an art that needs to be mastered, surprisingly some people are naturally gifted and they posses a self defense character.
Do we really need self defence in this part of the world to survive? In my own view the answer is yes. Considering how good their Government have provided security, yet they still practice self defense,

looking into the Asian countries you will find out that to they are the masters and creator of martial arts, china Japan and the rest implement the study of martial arts in their schools.
Now let's come back to Africa our continent, Africans barely have this skill of self defence, what we know how to do is direct combat with our opponent or attackers, which involves the use of heavy fighting weapons, matchete, sticks, stones, infact we fight with anything handy.
So how do we now defend ourselves in case like this.
Permit me to say it's very difficult to defend yourself in similar situations. Last weekend something of such happened in my street, it was a fight that involved matured men🤦
The insident happened on Saturday and that was when I saw that it's very difficult to say you want to defend your self on a local fight were harmful materials are involved. When the man chased the opponent with a matchete two men came out to hold him, and in the process someone was wounded by the machete, and the opponent that was with a stick had no choice but to run.
I'm just trying to pass a simple massage here, it is in rare cases where you close combat between two people that doesn't involve weapon, this reminds me of my secondary school days😆😔
But as a woman this skill is needed because woman mostly find their selves being humiliated by the opposite gender, gender base violence.
However we still need to be prepared ahead of tomorrow, and my greatest advice to the men and women out there that wants to be strong as a man, is to hit the gym, yeah not just about building beautiful structures but it's about building strength.
I believe that if you're strong and stronger that your attacker, the job can be done, secondly, you won't be afraid, fear gives an your opponent an edge over you.
This also helps in building confidence, I mean you know the weights and lbs you push in the gym, so anything less than that you can handle it with ease😆
Then talking about me, I don't think I have any defense skills for now, the best I can do I struggle as a man, then I cannot meetup then the next possible step is to run, after all I have been avoiding problems all my life😂
This people called Africans don't fight to defeat but they fight to kill, I just do my best and leave the rest for God.
