Practical Self Defens
The ability to respond quickly and effectively to situations that may develop into dangerous ones Self-defence begins in behavioral patterns and continues with awareness to different scenarios, of which may lead to violent conflict. We can prevent most cases ending in disaster.
Hence we should acquire the following skills:
- Dangerous situation progression awareness (prevention situation in the first place or ready to prevent surprise.
- Mental side - aggressive scenario responsiveness (pressure, violence).
- Technical side - the use of effective techniques and accessible tools, emphasis on efficiency.
Rule of thumb:
We will apply all the necessary in order remove threat effectively and neutralize attacker if needed.
In general we will strive to calm and resolve the issue smoothly. At best, we prevented a needless risk - but once we are attacked physically and there is a real danger to our lives, we will use the tools we have acquired in order act quickly and efficiently.
Response phases:
Welcome smile in most cases solves the problem.
Verbal persuasion OR Concession (e.g. give up to driver even if I'm right).
Avoidance of potential problematic scenario (underground parking or returning home at late hour in a dark night).
Preparation to potential problematic scenario.
Techniques to neutralize an attacker - the technique must be simple, efficient and suitable for the defender capability.
