Self defense is such a broad term that the history of it cannot be pinned down in the least. It is safe to say, however, that the broad spectrum of self defense can be considered as having come from the dawn of time even the earliest forms of human had to learn how to protect themselves and teach their strategies to others. From there self defense evolved into less primitive forms and into delineated and disciplined forms, such as with martial arts. There really is a style of defense for everybody whether it be women’s self defense, kickboxing, street fighting or even martial arts.

Women’s self defense is one of the most popular forms of defense, and it too is a broad term in and of itself. Women’s self defense can employ many techniques from several different styles of general defense, including but not limited to martial arts. Women’s self defense mainly teaches women how to protect themselves against unwanted attackers and usually employs more evasive maneuvers rather than one-on-one strikes because the theory is that if a woman gets attacked, she is not going to want to fight her attacker face to face, she will need to employ a strategy that will best allow her to remove herself from the situation.

Women’s self defense can usually be taught in just a few classes and many local YMCA centers will offer it; it is the perfect solution for women that do not want to take up learning an entire martial art but still want to protect themselves.

Street fighting is another form of self defense that can sometimes be taught in classes, but to its namesake, is more often learned by other s on the street. Similar to the martial art Krav Maga, the sole purpose of street fighting is to bring down the opponent and incapacitate them so they are not able to attack again using any means available. If that means a throw to the ground, then that is what must be used but other times, more desperate or harsh methods must be used.

Unfortunately, street fighting (again, like Krav Maga) is one of the more brutal forms of self defense and it usually doesn’t matter if the opponent or attacker is seriously hurt or maimed; in fact, that is the objective most of the time. For this reason, street fighting is not one of the forms of defense that can double as a sport and practiced for fun. It is best to learn it and keep the knowledge tucked away for a time in which it is truly necessary.

It is a good idea for everyone to be schooled in at least one form of self defense. The main philosophy behind defense, regardless of the form, is this: do not hurt the other person unless it is absolutely unavoidable and necessary. Contrary to popular belief, if everyone learned just a little bit of proper self defense, there would be a lot less violence to go around.

Barcelona is the capital city of the autonomous community of Catalonia in Spain and is the second largest city in the country. It is situated between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besos along the Mediterranean coast. The city has a total of 4.5 kilometres of coastline and boasts seven beaches. The city’s oldest and most popular beaches are Barceloneta and Sant Sebastia which are each over 1000 metres in length. These two beaches are separated from the other beaches by the Olympic Port.

The five other beaches are the Nova Icaria, Mar Bella, Llevant, Nova Mar Bella and Bogotell and these beaches were opened when the city was restructured to host the Summer Olympics in 1992. The sand on the beaches of Barcelona is constantly replenished from quarries to compensate for the damage caused by storms. Given the large number of beaches and other water bodies in the city, it is no wonder that it is famous for various water sports, and many tourists visit the city especially for this purpose.

Another reason why Barcelona is so popular for water sports is that it is situated in the Costa Brava. This term literally means rugged or wild coast, and is a stretch of coastline from Blanes (which is 60 kilometres away from Barcelona) to the French Border. Although some parts of the Costa Brava have been highly developed to accommodate the millions of tourists that visit, there are some areas in this region that are still untouched. The strip of the Costa Brava that is confined to Barcelona is one of the more developed areas, with lots of tourists visiting annually.

The beautiful beaches of Barcelona are ideal or tourists who want to sunbathe, or have a quick swim in the sea. However, for the more adventurous tourist, the day can be spent by taking part in one of the many adventurous water sports on offer. Among the more popular adventure sports in this area are water skiing, kayaking, jet skiing, wind surfing as well as virtually any other kind of water sport that you can imagine. The Costa Brava is also the perfect area to discover the thrills of the sailboat. There are many agents who can provide you with a sailboat on hire and this is an ideal way to discover Barcelona and the surrounding area, with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. Barcelona is also an excellent place to learn how to surf, and there are many sailing and surfing schools for students of all levels.
