Prevention Is Better Than Cure

YOUR WAYS TO SELF DEFENSE

Hello #scimultiverse friends, trust your day is going well. I welcome you to my blog.

The rate of insecurity is rising. Globally, the level of insecurity is not stable. Recently, we have seen serious insecurity among world powers, leading to inflation and instability in developing countries, including my country of origin.

They said he who protects himself lives to fight another day. So having ways of self-defense is not a bad idea. There is always a reaction to a cause. Hence, self-defense is a reaction to an intruder, a troubled situation, and the desire to deliver oneself from an enemy attack.

Therefore, my ways of self-defense include staying assertive in my environment; information is power. I need to stay connected and keep my ears open while I screen the information that I get. Having contact numbers of security outfits will be great. This will enable me to support in distress situations such as fire outbreaks, robbery, and others.

Furthermore, acquiring self-defense skills is a good idea. I have seen several trainings on Instagram for self-defense. Hence, I think it is wise to teach self-defense skills such as Taekwondo in schools because of insecurity, like the one-chance scavengers looking for people to kidnap. It will equip individuals to protect themselves to an extent

Again, learning some laws, especially constitutional laws regarding citizenship, driving, and different freedoms, will reduce intimidation and bullying. It would make it difficult for the security outfits on the roads to intimidate me. I will be able to defend myself while driving on the road, live as a citizen without my rights being trampled, and walk freely without fear of intimidation.

Additionally, I once nearly faced kidnappers. That fateful day, I left the office late, and while I stepped outside to board a commercial vehicle, it was around 8:30 PM (WAAT). Walking down the street, I saw a white Sienna coming so close to my end, while I was dogging the vehicle and nearly jumping the drainage to a safe end, I heard the siren of a security Hilux van. At the blast of that siren, the Sienna, with the door already slowly opening, jammed the door and zoomed off. I felt goosebumps all over my body. I was so scared that I nearly turned back to the office, but on second thought, I walked down to the bus stop, visibly shaken and so scared of life.

Though I learned my lessons, I adjusted and stopped staying late. Whenever I want to do that. I ensure that I am mobile that day to stay safe because prevention is better than a cure. Thank you.
