Self defense is commonly represented as the means and techniques that a person uses to face an attack against his integrity or his personal items, this type of practice is protected by the government even with laws named as "legitimate defense".

Often the weapons used in this type of protection are pepper gas sticks and even melee weapons, but people who practice this type of defense exercise their bodies more as a measure of restraining an attack.

Self defense became popular in the 19th century with a mix of techniques from various disciplines of karate and other martial arts where it is not only important to strengthen muscles but also to forge a strong personality and character in every aspect.
