Pepper spray or a stun gun should be your new best friend with the holiday shopping season upon us.
It’s a well documented fact that crime and theft rise during the Christmas Season. Along with getting dark outside sooner, the darkness provides cover for the criminals making it very risky to go christmas shopping alone, especially for a woman at a large shopping mall that has a large parking lot. It does not take a brain surgeon to figure out that a 130 pound woman fighting off a 200 pound criminal what the out come would be. If your family is like my family, the women do at least 75% of the shopping. With all the families out there in the world, that’s a lot of easy targets for criminals. Even for men to shop alone, it’s just as risky. Most of our ordinary law abiding people do not have the skills to fight off a criminal that probably has some streetwise experience at fighting.
The good thing is there are some very good products available to protect us and our families. I will go over a few of these items so you will have some knowledge about the different products out there in the marketplace today.
1) PEPPER SPRAY:
Pepper spray is probably the simplest and cheapest of the self-defense products. There are several different types of pepper sprays used today. 17% pepper spray, 10% pepper spray, pepper foam, pepper gel, tear gas, Michigan approved pepper spray. There are even sprays to be used on bears and dogs. They also come disguised in different ways such as lipstick, pagers, ink pens, key chains, rings, jogging weights and more. Here is a list of differences between a few of the sprays.
A)OC PEPPER SPRAY:
Contains the ingredient called Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) which is a derivative of Hot Cayenne Peppers. OC causes the eyes to slam shut, with uncontrollable coughing and choking. It creates anintense burning sensation and disorients him for several minutes. Lasts 30-45 minutes. No long term effects.
B)TEAR GAS PEPPER SPRAY:
Causes coughing, irritation and watery eyes. This leads to profuse tearing, an intense burning sensation and disorientation. Some products like MACE Triple Action Pepper Spray, combine the benefits of tear gas with the “burning” effect of Pepper Spray to disorient an attacker.
C)PEPPER SPRAY FOAM:
Acts to “blindfold” and disorient an attacker and cause the same “burning” and closing of the eyes as traditional liquid pepper spray.
D)UV DYE … PEPPER SPRAY:
Is used in combination with OC pepper spray, Tear Gas pepper spray, or Pepper Spray Foam for easy identification by police of an attacker. UV (ultraviolet dye)is effective for a minimum of 72 hours.
2)STUN GUNS:
Stun guns are a very affordable electronic device that produces up to 1 million volts but very low amps making it non-lethal.
Just like pepper spray, stun guns come in several different types and volts. They also come disguised as cell phones, flashlights, batons and large pens. The size varies from fitting in the palm of your hand to large stun batons.
Some models have very useful features such as having a strap that you put around your wrist that is attached to a safety pen. In case a criminal should take it from you, the strap pulls the pen out making it useless, therefore the criminal cannot use it against you. Another model has a loud piercing built-in alarm.
It is foolish for people “large or small, men or women” not to have some form of defense. With the prices so affordable today, there is no excuse not to have it.
P.S. Happy Shopping!

How To Win Any Fight In Under 3 Minutes
These are dangerous times that we live in and this is reaffirmed by a daily read of the local headlines. From mugging to assault, these crimes seem to be taking place on an increasing frequency. It is only natural that under such circumstances that we should seek ways to protect ourselves. But just a daily lesson at the local karate joint is not going to do the trick for most of the martial arts being taught today are more glamorous than effective. It is crucial that we understand that we need more than being taught about how to break bricks with our hands. The e-book ‘How to Win any Fight in Under 3 Minutes’ sure seems to be singing the right tune when it comes to wining a street fight.
With a violent crime taking place every 22 seconds on a daily basis, it is no wonder that the crime rate of United States seems to be leading the rest of the world. It has become all the more apparent that we need much more than what any self defense seminar can teach us. Just a read of the ‘How to Win any Fight in Under 3 Minutes’ should be enough to set us on the right track with regard to self defense. The self defense classes of today seem to be more about ‘flashy’ moves than about ones that will actually work on the street. It is time that we take a close hard look at some of the techniques covered here in the ‘How to Win any Fight in Under 3 Minutes’.
The e book ‘How to Win any Fight in Under 3 Minutes’ has been penned by a person who knows how to win any fight, literally. Besides being a martial arts expert for nearly 20 years, he is an expert in both Taekwondo and Judo as well. Quite often, online e-books get penned by a person who do not khow what he or she is talking about, that certainly is not the case here. This e-book provides a window by which we can get the low down on the various techniques, both legal and the illegal fighting moves, so that we can protect ourselves against any threat [well, most of them anyway].
The ‘How to Win any Fight in Under 3 Minutes’ is not the kind of e-book that we would require in order to win a sporting championship since most of the techniques covered here are banned. But when it comes to learning how to defend ourselves, this e-book is the perfect place to start. Normally most of the self defense classes insist on fitness as the key to winning any fight. But as ‘How to Win any Fight in Under 3 Min
1000
utes’ points out, not all of us are perfectly fit. Does this mean that we are doomed to failure? Not so, for by utilizing the methods listed in this e-book, we should be able to protect ourselves, irrespective of our speed. This is indeed, a new and different way of looking at the much talked about topic, self defense.
