Today Rachel and Tristan discuss the importance of the “Mental” side of Self Defence. As the “Physical” side seems to get most of the limelight.

The reason we hear more about the physical side is because of the violent nature of the crime, we hear about the physical trauma inflicted upon the individual, the cuts, bruises, broken bones, blood, rape and perhaps death! We hear about these things because it creates shock and terror in our minds. Violence sells news! It’s the physical violence that grabs people’s attention and Rachel believes this is why many people expect this to be the main topic in her workshops and seminars.

While the physical gets all of the attention, it is the mental aspect that Rachel and Tristan place huge importance on. You cannot control the other party in a violent encounter.

There is no script on how you will be attacked and you can’t control how it will happen or the outcome, but you can take control over your daily actions that can keep you safe and this is why Rachel wants to bring these tips and strategies to the surface and make sure they are getting as much exposure if not more than the physical aspect.
