More Than Self-Defense | If You Are in Immediate Danger

This site will provide you with free, easy-to-use information to keep you safe from crime and violence, including robbery and rape. Our goal is is to assist you to achieve personal safety. We're not here to promote martial arts, turn you into a deadly street fighter, a gunfighter or a paranoid survivalist. The information we provide is tailored for your needs in the modern world.

On this site you will find a wide spectrum of crime prevention information, personal safety strategies; discussions about self-defense,  home security, property protection, robbery prevention, safe dating; finding good self-defense training; and a host of other vital information and facts.  If you know what you're looking for, general topics are listed at the top of every page under the NNSD banner. We also cover topics that can help you in your everyday life -- as you'll soon see.

We have a Vague Questions page if you're not sure of the exact solutions you need. This site gives you important information if you have a situation where you're not sure about the right answer or response, but you know something is wrong. Just as an example, someone tells you that you should enroll in a  certain martial arts class to stop a stalking situation). We also recommend you take a quick trip to the misconceptions about self-defense  to help you get the most of from perusing this site. Staying safe is a much less daunting a subject if you know what you are looking for from the beginning.

This is a large site with lots of information. And those facts. figures, words and solutions cover a wide variety of topics.

But do get a cup of coffee (or glass of iced tea), you'll be here for a while.

We're More Than Just a Self-Defense Site
When it comes to crime and violence, the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is not only true, but a potential life saver. And that is not hyperbole. While most incidents don't result in fatalities, the stakes are always high.

The good news is an overwhelming majority of our recommendations are  nonviolent and have no negative impact on your lifestyle.

How can that be? Well, you might want to visit the Frequently Asked Questions page.

It all it boils down to the fact that, while the ability to defend yourself is important, we believe common sense preventive actions are far more reliable ways to ensure your personal safety, as well as that of your loved ones.

In order to be safe, the average person:

• Doesn't have to pay lots of money to some expert
• Doesn't have to learn a martial art
• Doesn't have to buy a gun
• Doesn't have to become paranoid or hypervigilant
• Doesn't have to stop going out
• Doesn't have to learn how to fight

All you need is to know the details of the problems you are most likely to face ... and then use a little common sense. After that, it's easy. It's mostly about knowing where you don't want to be and making sure someone can't put you there.
