An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure #selfdefense

Benjamin Franklin once said "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." No truer words have been spoken about self defense, which I'm sure he wasn't talking about when he said this. 

What's the last thing you want to hear a pilot say when you're up in the air on a plane? Get you're parachute on, we're going to crash land. 

Like a parachute, the physical moves of #selfdefense should be the very last resource you should have to use, when trying to keep yourself or family safe. 

So what resource should you first use? Prevention
