You find them offered in community centers and on college and university campuses of every major city in North America - self defense training courses and seminars. There are books on the subject, DVD courses available, and websites devoted to the topic. You've considered pursuing some sort of self defense training in the past but you never have. Here's why you should.

## No. 1 - Enjoy peace of mind.

Whether you are wandering the neighborhoods of your home town or going abroad, you should really feel equipped to handle yourself. Self defense training shouldn't make you careless but it should grant you some peace of mind. No one deserves to live in fear all the time.

## No. 2 - Feel as though you are capable of protecting the ones you love.

Often times we are most anxious and apprehensive not when we are alone but, rather, when we are out with someone we love, a girlfriend or child for instance. There can be an unspoken sense of responsibility that can be almost crippling at times if we do not necessarily feel as though we are up to the task.

## No. 3 - Project confidence.

Sometimes potential aggressors, whether knowingly or not, will stay clear of targeting individuals who seem self assured. Most predators are, at their core, cowards who prey on those weaker than themselves. This isn't always the case, of course, but there is an undeniable correlation between projecting anxiety and being victimized.

## No. 4 - It may just save your life.

When it comes to self defense training, it is better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it. It is possible you may never be called upon to put this form of training into practical use. If you are ever called upon to use it though it could well mean the difference between life or death.

If you want to learn self defense, and you are having a hard time discovering workshops or seminars near you, simply go online and Google "self defense training". You may very well find local programs of which you were not formerly aware. You'll undoubtedly find many websites that offer fighting tips and tutorials and several that even offer full fledged self defense courses. Learn how to protect yourself. Invest in your own skin and start moving through life with the knowledge that you're prepared. There is nothing wrong with hoping for the best, so long as you're willing to prepare for the worst.
