IMPORTANCE OF SELF-DEFENCE:
The world we live in today has a lot of violence and anger. In India, cases of rape and molestation are increasing each day so women should learn how to defend themselves.
As per Wikipedia, “self-defence is a countermeasure that involves defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm.” Self-defence teaches discipline and builds confidence in people. It helps improve focus and concentration. The ability to be your superhero can make you stand out. It also has health benefits, it is a fun exercise so it can help people burn more calories. Learning self-defence adds the skill of the fighters reflex.
Girls from a very young age should learn the skills of self-defence. Thus, instead of becoming vulnerable and helpless, women can learn the tactics to defend themselves. Parents should also teach their sons how to behave with women which in turn will help develop a better society for all human beings.
