High Heel Shoes as a Self Defense Weapon

In a self-defense situation, women might be caught wearing high heel shoes. Therefore, women should to train occasionally on how to use these shoes as a self-defense weapon.

The long pointed high heel can be used as a "spike" in order to disrupt an attack and allow you time to escape. This high heel spike can be used to kick or stomp on an attacker's foot, knee, groin, etc. It can also be used as a hand held weapon in a self-defense scenario (i.e. you have been knocked to the ground by an attacker).

However, remember that the best self-defense is to avoid situations where you might be put into danger.
