The normal desire of any person is to avoid dangerous, unpleasant situations. It is well known how a wise person differs from a smart one. The smart one will always be able to find a way out of difficult situations, and the wise one will not get into them. Therefore, self-defense does not consist in the ability to fend for oneself physically. If it came to a physical trial, then this is already a failure to ensure their own security.
Instruction manual
one
Pay attention to your lifestyle. Habits, social circle, behavior can provoke the possibility of getting into unpleasant situations. In other words, if you have decent acquaintances and friends, live in a favorable area, then the chance to get stabbed in the company of drunk "friends", be attacked on the landing or in the courtyard of your own house will be minimized.
2
Avoid dangerous situations and places. We are talking about the ability to foresee possible conflicts, because each of us has to communicate in public places. Use extreme caution when traveling alone in deserted places. Forwards love places with few people and no witnesses.
If you are walking through a deserted place alone, then hold in your hands a telephone with the dialed number of the police or your friends living nearby. Potential attackers do not need extra trouble.
Not empty words are advice not to enter the porch, an elevator with strangers, not to take fellow travelers and not to get into someone else's car, not to lead an uninvited gentleman to his door.
Avoid crowded places that are also dangerous.
Get some means of self-defense, at least a gas spray.
To avoid evening adventures on the street, wear comfortable walking shoes, take off your defiant clothes, valuables.
3
Be mindful and alert. It will not be superfluous to learn how to quickly track and avoid a potential threat. This allows you to respond in time to a dangerous factor: turn onto another street or alley.
4
Try to resolve dangerous situations peacefully. If the attacker did not immediately proceed to physical influences, then there is the opportunity to understand verbally. It is important to correctly assess the alignment of forces, the state of the aggressor, his intentions.
Do not show your fear. Attacks cannot be avoided if the enemy sees a victim in you. There should be no signs of “victim” in your behavior: fussy movements or constriction, trembling voice. Do not lower your eyes - this will give rise to an attack. The look should be as if through the striker. If it is directed directly into the eyes, then it will also be perceived as a challenge.
Do not take what you are told seriously and do not take insults to heart. Emotions will make you worry and distract from the situation.
Try not to backtrack, by this you subconsciously acknowledge the strength of the aggressor, who is trying to take not only a comfortable position, but also psychologically put pressure on you. In response to his approach, move to the side, go to him as if in the rear.
