  • Self-defense tactics against surprise attacks, for the average person.  By : Pierre DuPlessis111 Pierre DuPlessis111
    Self-defense tactics against surprise attacks, for the average person.
    1. Self-defense in a one-on-one situation without weapons (any woman can do this):
    1.1 Put car keys or other sharp instrument through fingers into a fist to pierce an eye, nostril or ear (use only if unavoidable).
    1.2 Break, damage or injure foot bridge bones by kicking down hard with the heel of your shoe.
    1.3 Denting in the windpipe with stiff knuckles or other hardware instrument like a portable mirror, can leave a person struggling for air.
    1.4 Spray the face and eyes with aerosol insecticide, oven cleaner or pepper spray to cause a severe burning effect to the eyes and throat.
    1.5 Kicking very hard in the groin with a foot or knee can have a severe paralysing effect.
    1.6 If you have it nearby and can find the time, use an electrical shock weapon to paralyse a person. They come in many forms of stun guns, like a baton, flashlight, cell phone or the latest disguise in the form of a tampon. The Pink Stinger disguised as tampon: While most tasers and stun guns are dead giveaways the moment thieves and other unsavory characters lay eye on them, chances are they won’t be able to notice that the Pink Stinger is actually a taser disguised as a tampon, giving ladies the extra confidence in knowledge that they have an edge when it comes to the element of surprise. What makes the Pink Stinger deadly in the arms of a lady under threat is its ability to dispense up to 50,000 volts of power - more than enough to disable and disorient your assailant while you take this window of opportunity and get some help.
    1.7 Grabbing hold of a male's testicles and applying severe pressure with a simultaneous pulling action as if you want to pull them out of their pocket, can break a stranglehold.
    1.8 The latest inventions in gadgets is a small LED flashlight, with high intensity brightness, to render an attacker disorientated. The Photonic Disruptor TALI Green Laser Pointer Self-Defense Gadget Blinds Attackers. This green laser pointer is a rugged waterproof high-powered laser that blinds attackers temporarily without doing permanent damage. Featured on Discovery Channel's "Future Weapons" this self-defense gadget uses focus-adjustable collimating lenses for range and power compensation.
    1.9 Rapex device:
    According to Interpol, South Africa has the highest rate of rape in the world. It is estimated that nearly one million, seven hundred thousand women a year are raped there, but only around fifty-four thousand cases are reported. An inventor in South Africa has come up with a possible solution to end the country's unenviable reputation of being the rape capital of the world. It is estimated a woman or girl is raped every 26 seconds in South Africa.
