![]() Views on Article - Self Defense Name: Suresh Country: India Comment: Ms.Daniela S., if possible could U post some important points of that video of THE BULLY FACTOR / NOT ME. The readers & myself can come to know and get interested. Though I am not having a daughter, still I like this concept/idea and that every girl / lady / woman should be equipped with this martial art / self-defence techniques. To start with, every female / girl can start simple / basic exercises and/or YOGA if possible. Thanking you,SURESH Name: Leena Country: U.S.A. Comment: For little girls, the training should start early. Not in physical self-defense, but start teaching even 4-5 year olds how to walk away from strangers who are offering candy, trying to enlist them to go with them, etc. I teach my 4yr old girl to shout LOUDLY if someone ever tries to handle her, "HELP, this is not my mommy! This is not my daddy!" At her age, she should never be far from my sight, but I want her to be ready just in case we get separated. She likes to practice shouting! :) Name: macho Country: India Comment: Learn Karate Name: latrice Country: usa Comment: i think Name: sapna Country: india Comment: someone was following me once, and it was a boy of around 20, and i was around 25, and i was with a friend. both of us walked up to him and started shouting at him. he was a piddly servant somewhere. of course, it was in a public place, and he got really frightened bec he didnt expect this. children should not confront, but i think young women, who are older, should assess the situation and then decide if they should confront the person or not. the 20 year old was a short, skinny little thing, and there were 2 of us in a crowded, well lit place, so i didnt feel threatened at all, and he totally just ran away. Name: Daniela S. Country: usa Comment: I do not agree on the last posting telling children to turn and confront someone who may be "following" them. This is NOT a good idea. The correct approach is for the child to know to get immediately to a public area, neighbor they know, etc. I recently purchased a very good video called THE BULLY FACTOR . It is a video for kids and made BY kids to educate children on how to get out of these potentially threatening situations using very basic techniques. The company who created this video did a GREAT job. My children enjoyed it, learned from it and it also opened a conversation about strangers and bullies and dangerous confrontations. There is even additional information on their website about the second video that is coming out called "NOT ME!". This next one will be about techniques your child can use in an abduction/aggressive stranger situation. I highly recommend purchasing these tapes if you are a parent with children ages 5-15yrs! You wont be disapponted! Your child only has ONE LIFE---give them the information they need to stay safe and protect it! Name: Jaya Country: india Comment: Good Article on Self Defence. I think every girl should know the art of self defence. You may never know when you will be in need....
