I will be a package delivery driver and I know that some households in the neighborhood have big aggressive dogs. Let's ignore my arms or legs and only focus on face/head/neck for this discussion. Do you think that wearing a solid motorcycle helmet with a strong strap that wraps around my chin tight will be perfect protection against 3 large aggressive dogs attacking me?
Recently had a disturbing experience at the park with my toddler that has made me want to invest in some form of self defense.
I have mainly been thinking about pepper spray, but I wanted to see if there have been any real studies done on how effective different forms of self defense are. Like how often is a person carrying pepper spray actually able to fend of an attacker. And how does that compare to someone relying on a personal alarm, or flashlight, or martial arts, etc.
I have tried looking around, but all I seem to be able to find are companies who sell products telling me how effective they are or personal anecdotes from redditors. I just want to make sure I am making a choice based on facts and not based on fear.
thought id ask on here for different opinions, outlooks , tips and general advice 🫶 i think the most important things are defence Hands up at cheek level,Chin tucked slightly down,Elbows in — protect ribs,Eyes forward, not at the floor but IDK HOW TO EXECUTE THAT or how I’ll do in the moment (im not looking for a fight I’m actually Being targeted and threatened) this is more of a safety thing and not looking like a PUSS
I know that I need to :
Stick with people, not alone
• Change routes/times if needed
• Stay in staffed / public areas
• Keep physical distance
• Leave early if vibes are off
But If someone is out to get you … THEY ARE OUT TO GET YOUUU
Help, so I’m 17F about 5’1 and weigh around 50kg MAX these group of girls told me they were gonna jump me that’s about four or five of them they’re all about 5’6-5’7 (lol) and are HEAFTY no shade … how do I even defend myself because in that situation it’s safety and getting the FAWK out of there , but I need tips too, from how to hide…to fighting tips
Any answers and different perspectives are SO much appreciated!! If yall need context I’m more than happy because I’m aware this is kinda vague LOL❤️
I got attacked by 3 people yesterday and I couldn't defend myself I wanted ask if there's any good self defense tools that wouldnt be some overpriced TikTok sharp stick but an actual useful thing I was also Thinking Abt carrying a hammer
