Can you share your best self defense story?

My best self - defense story happened on a bus. There was a man who was harassing a woman. I stood up and told him to stop. He turned on me and tried to punch me. I moved my head aside and punched him in the stomach. He doubled over and the other passengers helped me restrain him until the bus stopped and the police were called. It was important that I didn't just stand by and let the wrong thing happen.

One story is about a woman who was being followed at night. She quickly entered a well - lit store and informed the clerk. The clerk helped her call the police. When the man who was following her came in, the clerk pretended to know her well and said her 'husband' was on the way. The man left. Simple but effective self - defense by using her surroundings and getting help.

Well, my best self story is about learning a new skill. I decided to learn to play the guitar. At first, my fingers hurt and I couldn't play a simple chord properly. But I was determined. I watched a lot of tutorials, practiced every day for at least an hour. After a few months, I was able to play a whole song. It was amazing. I felt like I had achieved something great and become a better version of myself in the process.

There's this amazing story of a woman, Jane. She was on a jogging trail when she was suddenly confronted by an assailant. Jane had practiced self - defense techniques regularly. She used her agility to dodge the first attack and then delivered a well - placed kick to the attacker's knee. This disabled him long enough for her to run to a safer place. Her determination to be prepared for such situations through self - defense training really paid off.

One woman was in a parking lot when she was attacked from behind. She remembered her self - defense training. She stomped on the attacker's foot hard, and then she elbowed him in the ribs. This gave her enough time to get in her car and lock the doors.

I once went on a solo backpacking trip. During this trip, I was completely on my own in a new environment. I discovered that I was much more resourceful than I thought. When I faced problems like getting lost or finding accommodation, I found ways to solve them on my own. It made me realize my inner strength.

There is this story I heard. A woman was walking alone at night and a man tried to approach her in a menacing way. She had a can of pepper spray but was so nervous that she accidentally sprayed herself first. However, the would - be attacker saw her coughing and spluttering and thought she was some kind of super - sneezing mutant. He got so freaked out that he ran away. It was a case of accidental self - defense that had a really funny outcome.

Sure. One story is about a woman who was walking alone at night and a man tried to snatch her purse. She quickly used her keys to jab at his face and then kicked him in the shin. He ran away.
