The majority of us just think that self defense involves being able to defend yourself from someone trying to mug you on the streets, but things can actually get complicated when looking for the right self defense training course. Did you know that there are hundreds of training courses covering many different types of situations and environments? There are training courses for home invasions, protecting yourself on the streets, close quarter combat, and even how to protect yourself during social chaos and this is only the tip of the iceberg! I want to give a brief overview of some of the self defense training courses that I just mentioned above to help you get a better understanding of what each course covers.

We all want to be able to protect our family, no matter the circumstances. Our home should feel, to us, like one of the safest places that we can be. Lately, though, stories have been appearing on the news concerning so-called, 'home invasions'. These are some of the most shocking, disturbing and terrifying stories that you can ever read. They involve criminals coming into people's house and having their way with the family in whatever way they seem fit, whether it be burglary, rape, torture, or even murder. These stories go to show that locking your front door and owning a gun will not always keep you safe from those unwanted guests. Sounds pretty scary, right? Home invasion defense training courses help you to prepare for just these kinds of events.

There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of training courses on how to defend yourself while out and away from home. Being able to stay safe while out and about on the streets is a concern for almost everyone. If you are worried about someone mugging you, kidnapping you, or raping you in a dark alley somewhere this is the kind of training that you will want. The strategies taught in these types of courses are those that pertain to protecting yourself when you are not necessarily familiar with your surroundings and also when you have no weapon on hand to defend yourself with.

With the world's economy going the way it is and with economic collapse balancing on the edge, people want to know how to better defend themselves in social uprisings. We can see that many of these upheavals are already happening in some countries, so we must get ready. In times of social chaos there are no real rules that are followed. Situations can turn from civil into straight nasty in a matter of moments. It is not easy to prepare for something like this, but it is possible. The training courses that focus on these situations tend to teach ways to evade and escape martial law, social chaos, and the likes.

As I said before, this was just a brief overview and not a real in-depth look into each one of these self defense training courses. But, I hope that this article has been informative and helped to whet your appetite for the self defense knowledge that is available out there! We all want protection, but we must put forth the effort in order to obtain it!
