Back to Basics

At any one time, you have “natural weapons” that will help you to defend yourself in a real street fight.

We’re talking beyond just fists and feet.

AWARENESS is our first and foremost resource. It doesn’t matter what ability you have in a physical sense.

If you don’t see the threat coming you won’t be able to deal with it pro-actively.

Awareness is the very power base from which we operate and from where ALL personal security measures begin.

The second ‘weapon’ is BODY LANGUAGE.

This relates to how you carry yourself as you go about your daily life.

Obviously, if you portray youself as meek and mild, then you may increase all likelihood that at some time in your life you may come across those who are looking to take advantage of you.

Create an outwardly positive self-image, that clearly states that you are a confident and alert individual.

Just by standing tall and walking at a brisk pace with confidence is an immediate indication to anyone that you are a switched on individual which will, in turn, make you less likely to be selected as a victim of attack in the first place.

Finally we have INSTINCTS.

Most people who are attacked remember feeling a hunch, an intuition, a non-verbal perception before something physical happens – the feeling that something is wrong.

The sooner we act on this intuition the more likely we are to be safe in the end.

I am a FIRM believer in our instincts acting as a sixth sense.

I have always believed that if your instincts indicate that something isn’t quite right that it would be sensible to listen and act accordingly.
