Self-Defense is a skill that should be a part of everybody's life especially people that base in countries where there is violence and anything can happen at any time. Self-defense is not just about physical fighting but it also involves a means to defend yourself verbally in different situations we find ourselves.
For instance, in my place of work we have bosses that tend to prove their right at all times even when they are wrong so you just have to stand on your ground based on what you believe in and defend your course if not they would take you for a fool.
Like I mentioned earlier, self-defense comes in different forms as it doesn't have to be you physically fighting with another person, however, it has to do with staying alert in public places so as to know the kind of situation you are in because some people are so ignorant of their environment that when you even ask them what happened they do not know or care about it, trusting your instinct is another human superpower that we have it allows you to feel a certain kind of way to your environment.
I believe teaching of self-defense in schools should be accepted because it's not only helps to build the physical power but it's strengthens a person's confidence and ability to react in dangerous situation.
One time I was discussing with my brother and he stated the as early as primary school he would start teaching his children themselves against bullies. This came up when we experienced the viral bully video that happened in a secondary school where some boys were beating and torturing some helpless and weak students. It was such a devastating thing to see because this acts could lead to death or bodily arm.
In today's world, it is important to be able to defend yourself in whatever form, so as to feel safer in the community. So I totally support it.
This is my participation in the @scifimultiverse community weekly prompt, to join in check through this link
For this prompt we invite you to tell us your ways to self defense? Do you know some ways of self defense? Do you think it should be taught in schools? Have you ever caught in a situation when you need to self defense? What do you think it's necessary to learn ourselves in this era of world or not.
