| If a situation were to arise while you are walking | | | | you have no formal self defense training. You |
| home late one night, you are by yourself when you | | | | certainly can not talk your way out of this |
| hear footsteps approaching. Sounds like the start of | | | | predicament, and there is no use running unless you |
| a movie, but it could happen if you put yourself in | | | | are a sprint champion, and what if he was on drugs, |
| this position. | | | | they usually are, and they become super strong, feel |
| Of course the best result would be not to put | | | | no pain and seem to be able to fight forever. Well |
| yourself in this situation. Take the bus, a taxi or | | | | you now have yourself in one of the worst positions |
| arrange for a friend to drive you home, anything | | | | you would ever want to be in. |
| would be better than what was about to happen to | | | | You now what, there is absolutely no reason in this |
| you. The first thing that happens is fear sets in | | | | world why you had to get yourself into that position, |
| because you know hes ready to attack, and you are | | | | of not being able to defend yourself. You just did not |
| not and that is what he counts on, hes already | | | | think. The attacker did because that is how he lives |
| running on adrenalin. then he produces a weapon, | | | | his life, you put yourself in a vulnerable position, easy |
| maybe a knife or a gun, you have no way of fighting | | | | pickings. It was dark, you were alone, the attacker |
| back, you are frozen with fear by now. | | | | only has to watch your stance, how you carry |
| The attacker could be physically bigger than you, is | | | | yourself and how you stand up for yourself when he |
| more street smart, or had a lot more physical | | | | approaches, had you had self defense lessons you |
| confrontations than you. There is not enough time to | | | | would know how to handle the above situation and |
| weigh up your options, as time seems to go very | | | | the outcome of what could have happened would be |
| fast when attacks like this happen and especially if | | | | very different. |
