Self-Defense-Develop A Strategy For Your Personal Safety And Security

Self-defense products have become a mainstay in the personal security, personal safety and female self-defense world. Women especially need these products to help level the playing field because they are assaulted so much more often than men. As reliable as these products are and as good as they are at providing that personal security and personal safety, we also recommend that women and men develop a self-defense strategy.

We have always maintained that school-aged children should be taught the basics of self-defense at an early age, and then practiced throughout their school years so that young girls especially become proficient in learning how to defend themselves. Many sexual assaults on young women might be avoided with some well executed self-defense maneuvers.

A good self-defense training DVD can teach anyone the basics of self-defense in the comfort of their own home. Using a DVD with or without a friend to practice with, you can learn from world-class instructors at your own pace. We also believe that learning self-defense techniques together as a family is a great way to build bonds that will last forever.

Safe and Secure – Simple Ideas For Outdoor Lighting

When it comes to finishing off the perfect garden, finding the right outdoor lighting can be a daunting prospect; with so many different options on the market it’s hard to know where to start. In general, outdoor lighting is used to add atmosphere to a garden but it can also have a huge boost to safety and security. Accidents are less likely to happen in well lit gardens, while security light systems act as deterrents for would-be thieves.

But where to start? Well, a good way to kick things off is to determine where you’ll most need illumination outside. Many people start by placing lights in or near entranceways and porches to light the transition areas between the house and the garden.

Back doors, side passages and areas of frequent use such as garages and sheds are also popular places to fit task lighting. For an inviting atmosphere, consider using lantern-style wall lights in your entranceway or flush-fitted wall lights down the side of the house or above the back door.
