I would like to learn some self-defense moves. Can you provide instructions?

Sure! Self-defense moves can vary depending on the situation, but here are a few basics you can use to protect yourself:
1. Block or deflect: A great starting point to any self defense move is to use your arms to block or deflect an attack. If you’re being attacked from the front, bring your arms up to protect your face and torso. If you’re being attacked from behind, use your arms to block the attacker’s arms.
2. Strike: If you’re able to, striking the attacker in vulnerable points like the nose, jaw, and groin is a great way to make them back off. Use the palm of your hand for a more non-lethal attack, and the fist for a more lethal one.
3. Escape: Once you’ve blocked or struck the attacker, use this opportunity to get yourself to safety. Run away or find a safe place to take cover.Remember to keep yourself calm and focused in any threatening situations. With a few key self-defense moves, you’ll be able to protect yourself in any scenario. Good luck!
