Using your environment may be one of the best tools that you can have for self defense. The biggest problem with this, though, is that your mind is not likely to come up with ideas at the time of the altercation. That means that you need to explore, imagine and practice using the items in your environment before you ever get into a situation in which you will need them.

This will ultimately help you to use those movements, weapons and the situation in general to help you. Without this practice in your mind, you are less likely to find yourself in a place of safety.

These next tips are meant to help you protect yourself in various situations with what’s around you at the time. Take a look at your daily life and the situations in which you could be put at risk.
