The Power Of NO - Self Defense
Why are you being targeted?
Is that your fault?
Of course not. But at the same time, if you pay attention to the attackers' psychology, they usually target someone who is an easy catch. It seems they choose to attack someone randomly. As a matter of fact, they make their decision seeing someone who is vulnerable and they can easily get away with that.
The attackers do not want to get in trouble as well. Even if they do not know the victim before, you can guess about victim from observation.
Your body language, attitude, and voice send a signal that the bad guys understand about you. We talk about martial arts and self defense techniques that you can use to defend yourself. Your voice can help you change the situation. Here comes the power of NO.
When the attackers or bully approach and say something to you, you have to say No or back off. How you say it matters. If you say it with power, that gives an obvious signal that you are not an easy catch. So if they mess up with you, they will be in big trouble.
Sometimes the attackers talk to you before attacking you. And you have the chance to change the situation with your body language, voice, and attitude.
If you practice martial arts, it is not necessary to fight to defend yourself. When you have the confidence, and you know you can handle a situation like this, the attackers can see that. They might change their mind.
In case you are being attacked, you know what to do to defend yourself. Martial arts help you to be strong not only physically, but also mentally. And you can use the power of NO to defend yourself.
