There are many personal safety tips for protection you should keep in mind because this will help increase a positive and healthy outcome.

Personal Safety Tips for Walking

If you are walking, walk close to the curb facing oncoming traffic because this will help protect you against getting hit by a car. Carry your purse or bag close to your body. If you are being followed, or even think you are being followed, head for a crowded place. If people start milling around you, it could be a set-up for a mugging.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

Always be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. Your personal safety and protection depends on it. If something feels wrong, it probably is wrong. Look confident when walking, standing or sitting. Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back. Remember there is no right or wrong approach to dangerous situations or encounters.

Defend and Protect Yourself

To defend and protect yourself, you need to know yourself! How do you react in a crisis situation? Do you scream, cry, freeze? How would you defend yourself?

Anger and Yelling

Show your anger, not your fear. Heed our advise with our Personal safety tips for protection. This is important because a furious reaction often may stop an attack. Remember an attacker is looking for an easy victim. Yelling is always a good deterrent because it will draw attention to any crisis. If there are other people around, yell loudly enough to get their attention to what the assailant is doing. If you are alone and do not know anyone on the street or nearby, try calling a name out to make the attacker or assailant believe you may be with someone. This may also help if you are alone at home.

Personal Safety Tips on Weapons

If someone has a weapon stay calm and wait for an opportunity because weapons can make the situation more dangerous and difficult. But, there still may be something you can do about this.

Window of Opportunity to Run

Choose non-resistance so you can prevent physical violence and try to negotiate and stall for time. Because distracting or diverting the assailants attention helps provide a window of opportunity to flee. Verbal assertiveness like screaming, and using a whistle or personal alarm to attract attention and help. If you have any other self defense weapon on you like a stun gun or pepper spray, wait for an opportunity to use it and then run like hell for safety.

We hope you'll take our advise on these Personal Safety Tips. We care about everyone, their safety and their well-being. Peace.

Fight and Flight in Self Defense. You're probably saying to yourself, it's not suppose to be Fight and Flight, it's suppose to be Fight or Flight. However, we have a different take on this. So, we believe in having both responses so we're changing it to Fight and Flight in Self Defense.

If you feel frightened or nervous when walking by yourself at night, you're not alone, most people do. When you walk alone at night you become vulnerable to attacks even though most attacks are unpredictable. 

Because of the danger of walking alone at night, even during the day, you should be aware of your surroundings. This is crucial as to whether or not you find yourself in a situation you don't want to be in. But, either way, it's best to be prepared yourself for Fight and Flight in Self Defense, just in case. Let's introduce it.

Fight and Flight

Fight or Flight is a survival mechanism, that enables people and other mammals to react quickly to life-threatening situations. There are two possible outcomes. I've read many articles on this topic and most of them mention that you either Fight or Flight. Again, we believe in having both responses.

First you fight to position yourself in the situation to obtain that window of opportunity and get to safety. Getting to safety is the flight part of this.

In fight response, your reaction is to fight, and defend yourself against your attacker.

Flight response requires you to escape from the situation. Therefore, running away from an attacker and getting to safety is the goal.

When we refer to fight, the attacker is subdued by means of a self defense device. 

The Use of a Self Defense Device to Fight

One way is to spray them with pepper spray. As a result, this will temporarily blind them and disorient them giving you that window of opportunity to run like hell to safety. You go from Fight to Flight.

Another way is to get them on the ground by using a stun gun. Stun them and while they are down, run like hell to safety. Again, you go from Fight to Flight.

You could always carry a knife with you. You'll have to be careful with a knife. The attacker will try to take it from you. Be smart, don't give them an opportunity to grab it. Fight and Flight again.

You can use any self defense device to fight with your attacker. Scream or activate a personal alarm that sounds off. Noice always draws attention to the situation. However, the perfect situation is to not get in the situation of having to defend yourself. But if you don't have a choice, there are many products you can use to fight with and give you that window of opportunity to run to safety. Check out our website and buy something you feel comfortable with. This is the first step towards personal protection and your road to safety. Peace, and stay safe. The Women On Guard Team.

There are many and various reasons why people have and carry knives. Flint was used to make knives in the early days. The first Metal Knives were symmetrical double edged daggers, which were made from Copper. About 4,000 years ago, in the Bronze Age, the first single edged knife was made. These knives were used for hunting, cooking and carpentry. 

Knives serve various purposes. Hunting Knives are used by hunters, soldiers use the combat knife, campers and hikers carry a pocket knife, there are weapons such as daggers and switchblades, knives for throwing or juggling, and knives for religious ceremony or display. In addition, some carry knives as a means of self defense.

Here are a couple of the many knives we carry. Be sure to check and see if there are any restrictions on knives in your area before you order.
