MELVYN CECILIO C. VALENZUELA

He worked in the security industry for more than 40 years. His books are a way for him to give back to the industry that helped him and his family for so long. In order to perfect his investigative and security talents for both private clients and large corporations, he underwent a variety of training and certification programs. As a corporate security officer, Melvyn has been the target of three ambushes, several assassination attempts, death threats, and an actual bomb threat. Rescue efforts for team members and a multinational corporation's head were also handled by him. A private investigator/detective/security consultant, he conducted security risk assessments for an international NGO, thus preventing the loss of lives of both international NGO officers and their local counterparts; he reunited two missing daughters with their father, a U.S. Navy Officer; he saved a young American executive from a criminal syndicate; and he located hundreds of skips attempting to evade their financial obligations, debts, etc., which resulted in the recovery of cash. Security consultation and training services were also supplied by him to various Japanese multinational companies. Certifications and Accreditations include: Certified Security Professional; Accredited Investigator; Licensed Private Detective; Licensed Security Officer; and Certified Security Training Director. Toyota Autoparts Philippines Inc. employed Melvyn as a Loss Control Officer and Training Specialist (TAP). The TAP Training Section was established and organized by him, and he produced and performed training for both rank-and-file team members as well as middle and upper management officers. As a consequence of his effective training techniques, employees were more productive, more efficient, and less likely to be injured on the job. They also achieved their personal (team member and officer) as well as company goals, and had better relationships within the team. He was a certified Franklin Covey Coach, which allowed him to facilitate the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for Toyota. TAP's Team Relations Section, General Administration Section, Facilities Management, Safety, and Security were all overseen by him simultaneously.

SELF DEFENSE AND PERSONAL SECURITY

If you've ever strolled alone in the middle of the night down a dark alley, you've probably felt your pulse race.

Someone may come out of nowhere and attack you at any moment, so you're always checking your back.

You're apprehensive about being robbed or harmed in some other way.

You'd feel safer and less worried about being attacked if you knew how to defend yourself.

There has been an increase in the number of persons signing up for self-defense lessons.

A person's capacity to defend themselves against an attacker is referred to as self-defense.

The use of force in situations when someone's safety is at jeopardy is also justified by this.

The first step in learning how to defend yourself is to familiarize yourself with the many methods of self-defense available.

Disarming a violent person or pushing them away so that you may run is the most popular approach of dealing with such persons.

Self-defense may be carried out with either bare hands or with the use of a weapon.

You may use your verbal or physical prowess to encourage the attacker to flee.

Women, particularly those who are unable to defend themselves, may benefit from this strategy.

Self-defense training may help you avoid injuries and boost your chances of surviving an assault, no matter what sort of self-defense you choose.

If you're thinking about taking a self-defense class, this book will teach you everything you need to know and how to become better at it.

Various Methods of Self-Defense

EVERYONE SHOULD EDUCATE themselves on basic self-defense techniques at least a little bit.

This is due to the fact that not only will the knowledge of self-defense assist you to defend yourself from physical damage, but also since the right to self-defense is legally recognized and legitimate.

You have a variety of options open to you when it comes to the many methods of self-defense that you may study if you are interested in learning how to protect yourself.

Unarmed Self Defense

THIS METHOD OF SELF-defense is by far the most prevalent one.

You may defend yourself using a variety of different sets of actions and techniques, including moves from traditional martial arts such as Kung Fu, Karate, and Taekwondo as well as moves from newer fusion forms known as mixed martial arts.

Learning unarmed self-defense abilities not only enables you to shield yourself from potential physical danger, but it's also a great way to become in shape.

There is a wide variety of techniques and lessons that may be adapted to meet the individual needs of the learner in terms of their past knowledge, age, physical skills, and mental disposition.

If you can only learn one method of self-defense, then unarmed self-defense is the one you should focus on learning.

This is another form of self-defense that may be quickly modified to match the requirements of any given scenario.

Armed self defense

THIS METHOD RANKS AS the second most common form of personal protection.

The use of arms or weapons is required in order to engage in armed self-defense.

The legality of learning this method of self-defense is entirely based on the rules of the nation in which you live.

This is due to the fact that while instructing others in armed self-defense is not legally against the law, it is illegal to carry the kind of weapons that are taught in armed self-defense classes.

This indicates that if you put a lot of time and effort into learning armed self-defense systems that use knives, but the laws in your region prohibit you from carrying a knife with you at all times, your knowledge will be completely worthless.

If the only self-defense tactics you know involve using a knife, you won't have much of a chance of protecting yourself if you don't have the weapon on you.

De-escalation (Verbal)

THE DE-ESCALATION FORM of self-defense, often known as verbal judo, is a particular type of self-defense technique that does not include any kind of physical component.

This style of self-defense is referred to as verbal judo.

Words, body language, and tone may all be used as weapons in de-escalation self-defense, which aims to reduce the intensity of a confrontation and keep it from escalating further.

Self-defense tactics that de-escalate potentially explosive situations are based on a number of conflict management strategies that are used to moderate potentially dangerous situations.

As a result, the most that every person need to know is the most fundamental information on how to de-escalate a fight.

Learning about the many methods of self-defense might assist you in making an informed decision on the kind of defense you would want to study.

You have a decision to make, and it may be influenced by your physical abilities, your mental state, the things you already know, and how well you can learn new things.

Because of this, you will be able to maximize the effectiveness of your experiences studying self-defense.

Things That You Need To Be Aware Of Prior To Learning Self-Defense

THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME of the fundamentals that you need to understand before beginning to study self-defense.

Having this information at your disposal may assist you in determining which kind of self-defense is most suitable for you, as well as whether or not you really want to gain abilities in this area.

1. That using one's own talents and tactics for self-defense may be successful is a well-established fact.

There have been a large number of incidents all over the globe that serve as evidence that having knowledge of self-defense may provide a person the ability to prevent themselves from being physically harmed.

This is essential, in particular in situations in which no one else is around to provide assistance.

In addition, the fact that classes on self-defense are so common demonstrates that people recognize the value of acquiring these abilities.

2. SELF DEFENSE IS not a guarantee

WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT having abilities in self-defense may be effective, this does not mean that possessing these talents will automatically guarantee that you will be able to defend yourself from any and all circumstances.

Students in many different kinds of self-defense training will not only learn movements and methods, but they will also be instructed to pay attention to the fight-or-flight mechanism that is built into our bodies.

There are some persons who can be under the illusion that they are able to defend themselves against anybody, regardless of who they are, using their self-defense skills.

On the other hand, this is not always the case, particularly if your adversary has a much larger build than you do or if your adversaries outnumber you.

As a result of this, you will have to decide whether the best course of action is to fight or to flee.

3. Self-defense needs a significant amount of time spent engaging in physical activity

The vast majority of methods for self-defense are forms of martial arts that have been around for centuries and include a lot of practice and training in physical combat.

Because of this, before to beginning practical self-defense training, you need first to get yourself ready to engage in a significant amount of strenuous physical activity.

Stretching, physical exercises, fighting with partners, and practicing self-defense skills on other students are all required activities during self-defense sessions.

4. SELF DEFENSE TAKES discipline

You will require discipline in order to be able to endure and get through the most difficult aspects of the training course.

In addition
