Self Defence
Self-defence is a countermeasure that involves defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm
An Overview of Self Defence
Physical self-defence is the use of physical force to counter an immediate threat of violence. Such force can be either armed or unarmed. In either case, the chances of success depend on various parameters, related to the severity of the threat on one hand, but also on the mental and physical preparedness of the defender.
