Everything You Need to Know About Self-Defense

At Blue Rooster, we understand the importance of self-defense in situations where you need to protect yourself or others. Our selection of self-defense products is carefully curated to meet the highest standards of effectiveness and safety while adhering to Dutch legislation.

Self-Defense for Women

Self-defense for women is a growing concern, especially given the need for safety in risky situations. Many women choose to learn self-defense techniques such as Krav Maga, jiu-jitsu, and kickboxing. In addition to physical training, using specific tools like personal alarm systems and self-defense sprays can provide an extra layer of protection.

Self-Defense Weapons

The use of self-defense weapons ranges from non-lethal tools like self-defense sprays to deterrent devices such as flashlights with a shock function. It is important to be aware of Dutch legislation, as certain weapons like batons and sticks can be considered illegal.

Legal Nuances and Self-Defense Law

In the Netherlands, the laws surrounding self-defense are strictly regulated. It is permissible to defend yourself under certain conditions, as outlined in Article 41 of the Criminal Code. This article states that the use of force is allowed when it is proportional to the threat and there is an immediate necessity. However, preemptive force is not considered self-defense and may lead to criminal prosecution.

Self-Defense Sprays and Pepper Spray

Self-defense sprays are popular tools that can be legally used in the Netherlands, provided they do not contain pepper spray. Alternatives like sprays based on paint or scent are designed to temporarily disorient or mark an attacker without causing lasting harm. Pepper spray, on the other hand, is prohibited in the Netherlands but is permitted in some other countries. It is important to be aware of local laws if you plan to travel abroad with pepper spray.
