Before planning practical home defense strategies, it’s a good idea to have a general understanding of what it means to defend your place of residence.
It may not be immediately obvious how lessons from the self-defense world might help you have a drama-free holiday dinner, but there are many similarities between how you’d handle a potential violent encounter and drama brewing at the in-laws’ during dinner.
Halloween: the holiday where spooky is expected and the creepier things are, the better. But if you think your only fear should be running out of candy too early, you need to think again.
