Self defence & situational awareness (original post Sep 30th, 2021)

Who would benefit from self defense and situational awareness knowledge? 🧐 Why not everyone? Recent stats here in Ireland for recorded crimes including sexual offenses and assaults in the last year are over 22,000 for example. Many may be surprised that the highest demographic for this is males of ages 30-44. Over the years I’ve had the fortune of learning self/defense skills under some extremely experienced teachers while practicing the martial art of Taekwondo. Paired with these skills and my recent qualification in personal training, I have seen how valuable these qualities can be to all of us in our every day lives. As some of you may also have been witness to, life throws different challenges our way so it’s up to us to be prepared to adapt and face them head on with the right mind and body preparedness. These are habits that can become part of daily life activities and are ones that I would be happy to share with others. We have heard how and where these senseless attacks happen-people going to and from work, on social outings, alone or with others and day or night-anywhere and anytime. So, we can all help ourselves to be best prepared with being situationally aware in the right mindset and then physically prepared with preparing our body to be able to react and defend. We can at least educate and train ourselves to have that preparedness and awareness. #selfdefense#situationalawareness #mindset #physicalpreparedness #crime#attack #skills #fitforlife #motion #movement #chance #defend
