Keep your Guards up!

In this fast and changing world, everything is bound to happen. Everything is at risk even your life. We cannot guarantee our safety at anywhere we go, thus we should equip ourselves with self- defense and going on a training would entail money and time. Students and other profession who deposits their time as their income would ran out of time for this training. So, here are the rips for self -defense that you could actually do. ExpertSecurityTips.com stated 10 best tips to self - defense.

1. Stay Calm
Many victims end up being robbed, assaulted, or maimed because they gave in to fear. When you are afraid, you will be either slow to act or unable to act at all. So, it is very important that you keep your composure by not being afraid. Even when you are afraid (which is the case most of the time), never show it. Rather, show your attacker that you are fierce as well. This will send a warning signal and instill some fear in him.

2. Keep Close
Whenever you are trying to defend yourself, keep very close to your attacker. If you are too close to him, he will find it hard to hit you. In fact, you should cling tightly to him if possible, and you would render him harmless.

3. Hit First
Nothing can destabilize you faster during a self-defense struggle than being hit first. Similarly, nothing can boost your confidence faster than hitting your opponent first. So, act fast and attack first. If you are able to land the first blow on your attacker, then the door of escape will open widely for you.

4. Hit where it hurts

In order to weaken your attacker with just one or two punches or kicks, target those punches at parts of his body where he will really feel the pain. Most of the time people will protect their faces during a fight. So, don’t attempt hitting your attacker on the face, as your chances of succeeding at this are very slim. Instead, target areas such the groin, the throat, and the thigh. If your attacker’s footwear isn’t protective, a sudden trample on his toes is another great idea.

5. Protect yourself with your hands

As stated earlier, receiving the first hit during a fight can destabilize you – especially if it lands on a place where it hurts very badly. Always be watchful of every move your attacker might want to make. Chances are that he wants to hit you at the weak points listed above. (Of course, since you are aiming at hitting him at those weak points, why not expect that he’s aiming at the same? So, keep your hands close to those weak areas to block any coming punches.

6. Push him to the ground

Gaining balance is not easy after being knocked off to the ground. So, always try to push your attacker to the ground, as this will give you ample chance to escape. However, if the door to escape opens, even when you have not yet pushed him to the ground, run away from that scene immediately.

7. Don’t ever try to win

Remember that you are not in a fight, and there is no price for the winner. Put up just enough fight to help you escape from the attack, and leave the scene once you have the chance. Don’t try to show additional skills; save those for another time.

8. If you get hit, bounce back immediately

Sometimes, your attacker may be faster, and you would receive the first blow. Don’t waste time gazing at the hit spot (to check whether there is a cut) or wriggling in pain. Strive to bounce back immediately. This will send the message to your attacker that you are not giving in easily, and that you are ready for him. (Again, I know it’s easier said than done.)

9. Don’t try to act a movie

Trying hard to repeat a move by Jackie Chan could be dangerous. Of course, thoughts of those movie scenes may come to your mind when you are attacked, never waste time on trying to repeat them. If you do, you will give your attacker enough time to hit you. When you are attacked, face this reality: the assailant will not position himself in such a way as to allow you to perfect your move. So, just hit anyhow. But hit well, and hit the weak points.

10. Don’t struggle when it could be fatal

When you are attacked, check if the assailant has a gun or some other dangerous weapon. If he does, well, you should submit to his orders, as struggling with him could cost you your life. Never make a move unless you are very confident that you can disarm him. Similarly, if you are attacked by a gang, most of the time you will be overpowered easily if you try to struggle. So, submit to whatever they want – to save your life.

In conclusion, I want you to always remember that the main objective of self-defense is to save your life. If struggling against your attacker will only help you lose it, don’t ever make an attempt at struggling.

Tips for Traveling in Restriction!

Everyone wants to travel , I mean who doesn't? WE all have the urge to travel but the big question would be "Where would we get the money for the expenses?" IT is expected that when you travel , you spend more that want you've expect. So to those who want to travel with a thin line of money,here are the tips that you should follow.

1. Plan Ahead

Everything gets more expensive the longer you wait – airplane tickets, hotel reservations, not to mention all the early bird deals you miss out on for cruises and other travel packages. So plot out your destinations early and start scouting the deals as early as possible.

2. Travel Off- Peak

Whether you’re buying trans-continental plane tickets or booking seats on a train for a weekend getaway, sticking to off-peak times can seriously cut cost. If you can, try planning your trip during an off-peak season to save big. Peak times can vary depending on your destination, but typically major holidays and spring and summer breaks are good times to avoid.

3. Avoid having too many baggage

Some airlines charge extra when you check a bag. Either stick to the ones that allow passengers their first checked bag free, or leave the bulky suitcase at home. If you’re planning on visiting a few different locations, this will be easier in the long run, as large luggage can be cumbersome.

4. Choose a Hotel Alternative

Sure, the little bars of soap and fresh white sheets are nice, but the luxury can pack on hundreds of extra money depending on where you stay. There are a variety of other options available to travelers, ranging from hostels , which allows travelers to rent rooms or apartments from locals, where you can find a spare couch or bed to crash on in each city you visit.

5. Avoid Dining Out

Beachside restaurants are great, but can easily add an extra money to a night out (especially if you’re treating your family.) Instead, stock up on groceries and cook a nice meal you can bring to the beach. Breakfast, especially, is easy to make wherever you’re staying (in some establishments it’s complimentary.) For lunch, toss a sandwich in your bag. Not only will it save money, but you won’t have to derail your day by stopping at a café.

6. Skip the Souvenir

Shot glasses and t-shirts are cute and fun, but they add tons of unnecessary costs (not to mention weight to your suitcase). If you want to remember a location, snap a picture with your phone. And if you want to bring something back for friends and family, try something simple and quirky, like a coaster from a bar or a shell off a beach – only at the places that allow you to take, of course.

7. See what's free

8. Check out the discounts

Some establishments offer great deals that range from tours to spa days to great discounts on merchandise. If you are planning to hit a hot destination during your stay, be sure to browse some discount sites first to see how you might be able to save.

9. Bring your own Bottle

Like food, drinks can seriously pad your nightly bill. If you’re planning for a couple nights on the town during your trip, opt for buying yourself a nice bottle of wine or whiskey over a bunch of expensive drinks at a bar. If you want to experience the pub scene, stick to pints, as they’re often the cheapest alternative, or see if the bar has a nightly drink special..
