<p>After yesterday&#8217;s post on <a href="http://www.hertao.com/blog/good-boundaries/">good boundaries</a> I decided to add a long overdue section to the site on <a href="http://www.hertao.com/selfdefense/awareness-prevention">awareness and prevention</a>, along with what constitutes <a href="http://www.hertao.com/selfdefense/legal-self-defense">legal self defense</a>.  When self defense is legally justifiable, it&#8217;s going to be extremely dangerous.  You&#8217;ll be dealing with an attacker who wants to injure or kill you.  While this site IS about physical self defense, you should do everything you possibly can to avoid having to resort to that.  The two sections above explain why.</p>
