Despite the civilization of the modern world, crime news reports remind every day that everyone can face a criminal, which is why it is so important to know the basics of self-defense. It is imperative to be able to protect your property, health and even life in a dangerous situation.
Instructions
Step 1
Aikido masters say that the best fight is the one that didn't take place. In an open confrontation with a criminal, there is no one hundred percent probability of your victory, moreover, the bandit is usually confident in his superiority. Therefore, while there is such an opportunity, dangerous situations should be avoided by any means.
Step 2
There is a term “victim behavior”, which means such a course of action in which you yourself provoke a potential criminal to commit a crime against you. It could be a lonely night walk through deserted dark streets, a public display of a lot of cash or jewelry, sexy clothes - in general, anything that makes you an attractive victim in the eyes of a potential aggressor. Try to control your behavior, routes, wardrobe in such a way as to reduce the likelihood of meeting a criminal. The simplest rules, prompted by the instinct of self-preservation, will help you not to become a victim of a bandit, because you simply will not meet with him.
Step 3
If, despite all the precautions, you have become the object of criminal aggression, then first of all you should assess the situation and your chances in it. Enter the conflict only when there is no other way out, or you are one hundred percent sure that you will emerge victorious from it. Otherwise, it might be worth losing money, but keeping your health. Do not be heroic, because it is very stupid to spend six months in the hospital for a couple of thousand rubles.
Step 4
Even with special training or self-defense weapons, your chances of emerging victorious from a street fight are not super high. It’s not so much a matter of knowing the techniques as of being willing to hurt another person. The success of many crimes is built precisely on the fact that the aggressor is ready for conflict at any moment, and the victim is taken by surprise. Walking through dark alleys, entering an unlit entrance, keep your self-defense weapons close at hand and ready for battle. Otherwise, it will not help you, because the criminal will not wait until you find the gas cartridge in your purse.
Step 5
Having already got involved in a fight, it makes no sense to talk about exceeding the limits of self-defense. Your goal is to win, that is, to make your opponents incapable of further action. If you can go for it, then the fight is worth it. Rest assured, the criminal will not be stopped by considerations of humanism. Only fear or pain. It is worth signing up for self-defense courses precisely in order to develop the ability to attack first, which is atrophied in ordinary people.
Step 6
In a situation of potential conflict, try to attract the attention of others as much as possible. The more witnesses, the less the bandit will want to commit a crime. Passers-by, vendors, neighbors - all of them can become more reliable protection from a criminal than a traumatic pistol or self-defense courses. To attract attention at the entrance, it is worth shouting not "Help!", But "Fire!"
