Self-defense or private defense is a countermeasure that involves defending oneself, one's property or the well-being of another from harm. The use of the right of self-defense as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions, but the interpretation varies widely.
Physical self defense is the use of physical force to counter an immediate threat of violence. Such force can be either armed or unarmed. In either case, the chances of success depend on a large number of parameters, related to the severity of the threat on one hand, but also on the mental and physical preparedness of the defender.
Many styles of martial arts are practiced for self-defense or include self-defense techniques. Some styles train primarily for self-defense, while other martial/Combat sports can be effectively applied for self-defense.[citation needed] To provide more practical self-defense, many modern day martial arts schools now use a combination of martial arts styles and techniques, and will often customize self-defense training to suit the participants' lifestyles, occupations, age groups and gender, and physical and mental capabilities.
While the media hunts him
One man doesn't sleep
Finds harrassment for life
Mother sits there and weeps
They say the action's progress
Crime doesn't end
He might have been mugged before
But he'll never be mugged again!
Why must we lose what we earn
Because of someone else's greed
Is it fair to sew a hole in my side
Because someone else has a need?
The season's controversy, guilty or not guilty?
Been another mark made another spawn of fear
Some dude in Chicago has copped the same idea
Self defense is innocence!
Now everyone with a gun is on a rampage
Armed citizens are holy saints
Deathwish killer, the six o'clock rage
