The Story
Knowing how to protect yourself sounds like an easy task. Don’t put yourself in a bad situation, take precautions, and know your surroundings. These are all simple concepts. But what happens when you actually find yourself in a situation where self-defense is necessary? One man assaulted a woman and her partner after she found a strange man in her garage. She was in a place that she knew well, yet, she was not able to prevent the crime. The more you know, the more you think about self-protection, and the more you practice, the more likely it is that you will be able to defend yourself.

What Can We Learn?
Be ready. This is the most important part of self-defense! Prepare for any situation at any time. Have a plan for a home invasion, know your limits and abilities, and train and educate yourself. No one expects a home invasion and you don’t have time to prepare during that moment. You must have an idea of what to do or you may freeze. If an invader is in your garage, what would you do? If you don’t know, start working on a plan.
