Three ways to avoid assailants: 1. Always lock your car doors, 2. Never go to convenience stores, especially after dark, 3. Stay out of bars. This will avoid at least 90% of unprovoked attacks.

20 years of law enforcement have taught me one thing when someone is acting aggressively, when you realize that no matter what it is going to get physical. strike first and strike hard not all people can or want to be talked down and always remember on the street for civilians there are no rules but to go home safe. Although sometimes swallowing your pride and walking away where you can is always the best bet. But never turn your back til at a safe distance.

Don't assume that an assailant has your morals, e.g. that if you give them your cash or cell phone, they will leave you unharmed. No, they have no morals and may hurt you on a whim.

Good advice Daniel, I’d like to add two more. 1. Never assume your assailant is alone. While your attention is on your assailant, someone else surprisingly may appear. Bruce Less said, “Beware of your surroundings (Use peripheral vision).” 2. Never assume someone is unarmed. He may have a concealed weapon.

Years ago, I knew a guy who was built like a pro linebacker. He carried a gun everywhere he went (with a permit, of course). I asked him, "Hey, why do you carry? Who's gonna mess with a guy your size?" His answer, which I will never forget, was, "When somebody comes for me, do you really think they're gonna be alone and unarmed?" Words to stay alive by.

I was approached by a supposedly homeless guy while loading my truck at costco last week. he was nearly whispering at me, and kept moving closer. Mumbling about being in jail for 20 years, or something. I kept telling him I had no cash to give him and to move on. I positioned the cart between us while I was looking around at the reflections of the cars around me because I didn't know if he was with somebody else. My girlffriend had already gotten in the truck and I only had the back hatch open so I locked the doors with the remote in my pocket. I do carry, and I was getting prepared to defend myself if I had to. Luckily once I got louder and told him I had nothing for him he started walking off. This was the first time I've been in a situation like that before but I stayed calm and paid attention to my surroundings.

The biggest advantage that an assailant has is their action being faster than the victim’s reaction. Their second biggest advantage is that they usually pick what they perceive to be an “easy” victim. These are laws of nature, not unique to humans. To fight the first advantage of a predator, camouflage and vigilant awareness are key. To fight the second, never be an “easy” victim. Make them work as hard for it as you can. Fight back hard because it’s the last thing they expected when they chose you. Be insulted by their choice too…make them regret it.

Attackers are already committed prior to contact. They have a plan, are committed and due to their chosen profession can be (and we should expect) willing to be brutally violent. Keep your head on a swivel. Remember when pumping fuel at a gas station, soaking an assailant in gas will make them pause. Had a woman yell at me once (rude yankee driving through our fine southern state) and she had a mouth like a sailor. Just very rude. I should have just ignored her but unfortunately told her to mind her own business and to FO. The locals around me were just in shock to hear a woman say the things she said. Long story short, her husband came out of the gas station, parked his car sideways in front of mine to block me in. He came out of his car looking to become more personal. I very casually pulled the novel out of my gas tank, walked forward (a few steps) pointed the gas pump nozzle at him, his vehicle open door, pulled out a bic lighter and just said, I apologize for the miscommunication. His eyes got very large as the thought of them turning into giant tiki torches and they proceed north on the interstate. The locals just shrugged it off and finished their business. Anyway have a plan for as much as you can. Improvise and when needed be willing to burn everything down to protect yourself. I probably could have kicked that man’s ass. I would never had a chance to see his wife pull a knife or gun … while engaged with him. He could have escalated the situation during a physical altercation. It was a much better choice to make them decide it wasn’t worth it. I’m sure some family up north got to hear stories of some dumb azz redneck threatening them … good stories was the best outcome and I was good with that. I was just trying to get home after a long day working.

Great information. Bullshido exists in the Martial Arts and Firearm worlds. Awareness not only encompasses the environment you're in, but also your attitude, and physical skills to defend yourself(or family/friends). I'm 65 years old and though I have over 35 years of martial arts training(train daily) and I'm a former Marine, it doesn't change that at 65 years old I can't kick to the groin as fast as I used to (or punch the face or sweep someone to the ground, etc., etc.). That's why I use a walking cane and carry pepper spray and other legal tools when I go for walks or run errands. I prefer non-lethal tools, like awareness, verbal de-escalation, before I go to the next level of using a walking stick/cane, pepper spray, knife, etc, etc. When I'm out walking I notice a lot of people who are focused on their cellphones not on driving or what is around them. I don't use my cellphone unless I'm sitting in a restaurant that I feel is somewhat safe and even then I scan the area for any changes without staring or seeming paranoid. When I was young I watched a guy stab a man to death because he didn't like the way that man was looking at his girlfriend. This used to happen a lot along the Texas/Mexico border (Now they just shoot it out and innocent people are shot and sometimes killed, especially in Mexico). I'll never forget the rage in the man's eyes as he repeatedly stabbed the other man and witnessing the stabbed man collapse from the loss of blood. Many people underestimate the rage that some people have and over-estimate their ability to defend themselves against rage like that. Keep up the great work...:)

I am a firearm instructor, 40 years, there are a lot of ‘instructors’ in my world that fall under the Bullshiedo umbrella. I tell people in a home invasion scenario that the criminal (s) have the upper hand, they have a plan, whereas the homeowner(s) are at a disadvantage, just waking up, foggy mind, etc. I tell them Never go looking for the home invaders, (like hollywood actors do) you can be ambushed in your own home and have done two unacceptable things, one, you just gave up you gun, two, you just gave up your Family! For what!? to save the fu*king toaster oven??? Stay put, if you have children get to their room if you can quickly, hopefully with three items, gun, phone, and flashlight, because many home invasions happen during power outages. The flashlight is NOT to go looking for the invaders. By making them come to you that lowers their survivability, by going-to them that lowers your survivability! In a movie the hero always wins because they need him in a sequel, in real life there are no sequels for you when you lose. Never call 911 on your cell phones, that adds 10 minutes to the response time,(not so on a landline) instead call to a direct number in an emergency, so put the police and firefighters direct numbers in your phone, a lot can happen in Ten seconds let alone ten minutes, why would you want to wait that additional time? That is if the cops show up at all…Remember, you are your own first line of defense, it is your duty to the safety of your family to be smart, not hollywood ‘heroic’, unfortunately the police are the Cleanup crew, after the fact, don’t forget that. I hav many more tips, but hate henpecking all this information. I wrote a book on this and much more, GUN SENSE.

You can hit the power button 5x on some cellphones and automatically dial 911. Know what options you have. Make sure to set your e911 address if you've enabled wifi calling because you don't have good cellular reception.

I recently had the privilege of engaging with a SWAT team in a simulation attack. It was quite an education. I am truly a beginner when it comes to guns. I have my LTC, I do carry everyday, and can shoot acceptably. But this assailant simulation was a first for me. At one point, we had most of the people evacuated out of the building, with one “assailant” down, and we still didn’t know if there were any more. I was in the back of the building, guiding my group of people to safety, and keeping a lookout with my simulation gun in hand. When the “assailant” (who was a very large SWAT member) came around the corner with his simulation gun raised, I hesitated. I yelled “put the gun down!” And he pointed it at me, and waited. I froze. I didn’t know what to do. Finally someone in my group yelled “SHOOT HIM!” So I did. It was quite a learning experience. The reason I hesitated was because in our simulation, I didn’t know if he was supposed to be a police officer coming to our rescue, or if he was supposed to be an assailant. It made a strong impression. I remember that when it was over, and we were walking away, he told me, “If you’ve got a gun aimed at you, you shoot.” I was surprised how little time I had to make that decision. No time.

In all reality, in an active shooter situation, if there are law enforcement officers, and fellow defenders actively involved, it would be terrible trying to know when to pull the trigger. I remember a video from few years ago, when a shooter brought a gun into a church in Texas, and he was shot by one of the churchgoers. I remember thinking that the man who shot him waited an awful long time. But after that day with the SWAT, I can see why. It’s not easy.

You are doing everyone a great service. One thing, I don't know if you have thought about it much, but one thing that keeps coming to my mind about assailants and people who turn into violent criminals is how does that happen? I suppose that is a naïve way of looking at all the people who commit crimes, but it beggar's belief that we all grow up in the same society and yet there are those who end up preying on others and ruining other people's lives by attacking them. A student of mine was in South Africa and she was in a restaurant with her husband and they were going to go out for a walk and the waitress said, 'Mam, you better take off that watch you are wearing." My student said, "But it's a Swatch and only worth a little bit of money." The waitress said, "They won't even ask you to give them your watch, they will hack your hand off with a machete and take it." When I heard that, it just made you want to throw up that someone would actually cause bodily harm in stealing a cheap watch. But this is our world, and we don't have another one.

This applies to other places also. Physical attacks are one angle. Apply these principles even to people calling on the phone. People you interact with the buy things you need (the folks selling you stuff are attackers of a different variety, they are after your money "legally"). There is always a different angle in play. Time Value of money has 5 components. The current value, the interest rate, the payment, the period, the number of payments, and the future value. The people on the other side of the table can use ANY of these to put you in a bad place. "Hey, we can put you into a 10 year loan on that 120k truck..." The really really clever assailants aren't physical. They convince you to give them money and make you think you got a deal...

Good presentation! There's no telling what or how an assailant may attack us. Like you said, "the attacker has already made a plan", so all we can do is react to whatever he does. This puts us a couple of seconds behind the attack.

One of the best thoughts to add: try not to go where "they" are. You wouldn't go swimming in a Florida swamp, you wouldn't climb a fence into a bull's pasture, and if you are driving a yellow Corvette, you won't travel through known speed traps. In my youth, I was robbed on two different occasions on Chicago's west side. (Once I was driving a cab and should have have the security shield shut, the other occasion, I was trying to reverse direction on the Lake Street L, which action required descent to the street at that very poorly chosen point.) Haven't been back in about 50 years.

Good video. Always there is more, avg, person has fear of hurting the attacker and getting into trouble. Attacker many times has no fear of hurting or killing you. If attacked you must fight as if your life is going to be taken. They have a plan, and you do not know what it is. You can bet they think you have a weakness. No matter if the attacker is 10 years old or 50 they started the problem.

Great Video. In german martial arts is called: Kampf Sport. Meaning fighting sports. And I belive that is a good picture of it. Because all sports have rules. Real life violence have no rules. It is ither you win and get to go home(or at least to the Hospital) or you lose and you die. That is the reality, we are way past the days where the violence stops as soon as you are laying on the grund.

Born in 60. Grew up fighting. Bounced in a bar in Ft Worth. Started Taekwondo in my 30's, earned my Black Belt. When competing, we went hard. (Karate and Taekwondo tournements.... and class-lol) I guarantee it's much more difficult to stop someone with one punch than some schools teach. Try not to look like an easy target. If an attacker decides I'm next, he must see something that makes him think I'm weak and he'll use a technique that he has had success with in the past. That can also be as a distraction so his buddy (or 2) can make a move. My "go to" techniques are simple. Hammer fist, inside knife hand, ridge hand. Then some elbows. I practice every day on the heavy bag. Also do some power building exercises and eat right. At least once a week, I go hard on the bag, fully clothed with my carry items in place. Practice drawing with the heart rate up around 125.

@filippocorti6760 6 ай бұрын

Inside knife hand, ridge hand, and speer hand are great fighting ways. The karate guys frequently have trouble implementing them in real situations, though. There must be a way to make karate guys better at implementing the techniques they learn.

Throughout my whole life, I've always been seen as an easy mark/prey/victim. This is due to me looking like a nerd my entire life. Out of necessity, at 7, I had to train in various different forms of martial arts/kung-fu and weapon styles. I've done this on and off throughout my life and built my own style that suits my body. I have zero strength but maximum agility. I am constantly aware of my surroundings at all times. I've had to develop my group fighting skills immediately because it's never 1-1. It's always a group, sometimes a large group. Some times a death stare is sufficient, sometimes I'm able to just walk away, but sometimes it's not/I can't. I'm terrified of fighting because I know what I can do. I'd much rather sit and have tea with someone rather than fight any day! My style is a mixture of Wing Chun, Tae Kwon Do, Mui Thai, Hung Gar, and Zui Quan. It covers close, mid, and long range and gives some unpredictability.

But you never know what a person will try too do to you if you are not vigilant. I always look before I get in my car and I scan my surroundings even when I am home on my property. An attack can come any time so I prepare all the time. At my age I can't run but I can defend my self in a few ways.

I have been stabbed in fights & i would recommend that people always assume their enemy is stronger, faster & better preparred. Better to be wrong than that be the case & your not prepared for it. Also pay attention at all times & if you get in a knife fight expect to be injured. So your weapon hand guarded & lead w/ your left wrapped in a jacket or shirt if you have the time to do so but dont let em get your weapon hand or your done. A mistake one my assilants made & it cost him.

These are all good points, but I would say the number one assumption that we shouldn't make is that the assailant is reasonable or rational. All too often, people are advised that a mugger or other assailant will not hurt you if you just give them your wallet, or otherwise cooperate with them. This is extremely dangerous. The person is already so irrational and unreasonable that they chose to victimize a stranger. It is stupid to place your trust in someone who has already demonstrated that they are willing to harm you. Sometimes the thing that they want is simply to hurt you, for reasons known only to them. It's true that you should avoid a fight if possible, and that handing over your wallet may work, but you have to be prepared in case it doesn't.

I have advice for the defense against an attacker armed with a knife. If you’re unarmed, find a way to disengage. There are many methods taught on defense against a knife, most are failures in actual life situations. Without a weapon of equal or superior strength, you may not succeed in your defense.

As a lifelong "studier" not necessarily practitioner, I have observed that one particular "art" is not necessarily able to defeat all others. My biggest example is following the Bruce Lee story where he came to realise after learning many arts, this was to be the case. It is this reason that he developed Jeet Kune Do. The other thing is just because you have learned a particular system does not guarantee your survival. Number one rule > "Never underestimate your opponent !"

The person attacking you will have generated contempt and hatred toward you. Yes, they will. They will attack you with a fury of maximum speed and power. The element of surprise, violence of action, and the momentary impression of overwhelming superiority. This is a, ''no shitter''. They will try for maximum advantage with total commitment.

@maxlutz3674 6 ай бұрын

Regarding point three: Assailants frequently have a history of violence and sometimes a criminal record to match. That means that they have practice in fights with the intend to harm and taking some hits in the process. They are likely better prepared than the average martial arts student. Some self defence classes are really dangerous as they base on a compliant assailant. In an extreme case a person tried to demonstrate what they learned for escaping from a grip. At some point the person stated "that´s were you are supposed to let go". Who would students give such expectations?

I was working in a camera store in south Miami. I had just unlocked the door to start our day and started setting up the shelves. We hear this loud rattle at the door. When we looked up there was this guy holding an AR-15, trying to get in. We were all behind the counter at that moment and drew our guns, (we all had carry permits and would go target practice after work at the gun range next door). When the A-HOLE looked up and saw five hand guns pointed at him....he ran like a bat out of hell!! The "IDIOT" did not read the sign that said "TO OPEN PULL", he was pushing his way in, which gave us a second to draw. A few minutes later the police, showed up and asked if we had seen this guy. We pointed in the direction he ran and a few minutes later they were dragging him from behind the dumpster behind the store. The police took our statements and told us that good thing we had weapons, because this guy had just robbed a store at the other end of the strip mall. Even though the guy gave him all the money they had, the robber hit the guy in the face with the rifle butt and knocked out the guys front teeth!! You never know!!!! "DON'T UNDER ESTIMATE"

One way that you can avoid or deter and it would be assailants or de-escalate any potential confrontation is to simply be as calm and collected as can be. If someone does try to start something with you and you are able to seem completely unbothered and disinterested in either them or what they're saying or doing or otherwise just act in a way that they're not going to be expecting it's going to throw them off their rhythm so to speak and they're going to be unsure of what to do. Doing that saved me from having to get into it with a paranoid meth addicted woman who had it out for me for a really stupid reason.
