The Art of Self Defense

“Self Defense is about having a plan beforehand. It’s about having decided what one’s options are in situations before they occur. Knowing how to punch and kick are only a small part of a much larger picture in today’s modern world. If someone can enrage you, even to the point of violence, by calling you a racial slur (or re. mother, sister, etc.), then you have carelessly left a weapon in the enemy’s hands. This adrenal surge can rob you of your rational judgment and thought processes.

      Don’t assume that bystanders will tell an accurate account of what happened if they should witness you defending yourself in a real fight. Most people have never seen an act of violence except in film or on T.V. and their perceptions of what they saw are often distorted. This is an adrenal effect and is why you must set up a pre-incident testimony before it gets violent.

     Raise your hands a safe distance from the hostile person (palms out) and shout loudly “Stay back! I don’t want to fight!” and “Back off now!” People remember what they hear more than what they see.  If you are very strong in your projection of verbal boundaries (projecting but neither challenging or insulting them), then many times there will be no physical fight at all.  Above all, never corner an animal or someone in an emotional/retro state: they will run through you get to safety. Always give someone a way out, whether verbally or physically.”
