*Safety Advisory: Please Practice Movements Shown at Your Own Discretion*

Your safety is of utmost importance to us, and we want to ensure that you have a positive and secure experience while watching and attempting the movements demonstrated in this video. Here are some essential safety guidelines:

1. **Consult a Professional**: Before attempting any self-defense or physical movements shown in this video, it's advisable to consult with a qualified instructor or healthcare professional, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or injuries.

2. **Start Slowly**: If you're new to these techniques or not fully confident, start slowly and gradually increase the intensity as you become more comfortable. Rushing into complex movements can increase the risk of injury.

3. **Use Proper Form**: Pay close attention to the instructor's guidance on correct form and technique. Proper form is essential for both effectiveness and safety.

4. **Practice in a Safe Environment**: Ensure you have enough space to practice safely, away from any obstacles or hazards. Practicing on a soft surface, such as a mat or carpet, can help reduce the risk of injury in case of accidental falls.

5. **Listen to Your Body**: If you experience pain, discomfort, or any unusual sensations while practicing these movements, stop immediately and seek professional advice if needed.

6. **Stay Hydrated**: Hydration is key during physical activities. Drink water before, during, and after your practice session to prevent dehydration.

7. **Know Your Limits**: Everyone's physical abilities vary. Don't push yourself beyond your limits, and don't feel pressured to perform advanced movements if you're not ready.

8. **Use a Partner**: If possible, practice these techniques with a training partner. Having a partner can enhance the learning experience and provide an extra layer of safety.

9. **Respect Personal Boundaries**: When practicing with a partner, ensure you both agree on the level of force and contact involved in the training to prevent accidental injuries.

10. **Seek Professional Training**: While this video can be a valuable resource, nothing replaces professional training. Consider enrolling in a self-defense or martial arts class to receive hands-on instruction.

Remember, the movements demonstrated in this video are intended for educational purposes, and your safety is your responsibility. Please use caution, exercise common sense, and practice these techniques responsibly.
