You will learn practical skills that can be done to defend yourself
against an attack no matter your gender or size. This course
includes topics like overcoming the fears of self defense using
pepper spray and physical skills to neutralize and escape an
attacker. Self-Defense Basics It is an unfortunate truth that many
people regardless of age gender race size or appearance will one
day need to protect themselves from attack. In those instances
there is no substitute for defensive training or the study of a
martial art. Trained or not everyone should know the first basic
tenet of self-defense: the best way to keep yourself safe in a
fight is to avoid getting into one in the first place. With a cool
head alertness and a willingness to walk away you can typically
prevail in many situations. Situational Awareness Many people don’t
see danger coming until it’s too late. It’s possible to take
measures to avoid conflict but you have to be aware of your
surroundings observe the general attitude and behavior of the
people around you and recognize the signs of an impending conflict.
If the setting feels tense especially if the mood came on suddenly
make a mental note of the exits and quickest ways to them. Pay
attention to the body language of the individuals around you. If
someone is encroaching on your personal space trying to separate
you from others or takes an aggressive stance it may be a sign of
ill intentions. Watching for these signs is especially important in
situations involving the consumption of alcohol or drugs. Alcohol
can dampen your awareness. If the attacker has been drinking or is
under the effect of other substances they might not be behaving
logically. It may be harder to reason with them. Adrenaline and
Self-Defense Human biology has a natural fight or flight mechanism.
Trying to resist that instinct is a bad idea and can result in you
freezing up. A rush of adrenaline is caused by the onset of danger.
This can have debilitating effects on your ability to remain calm
and remember your training. Even black belts in multiple martial
arts have reported succumbing to adrenaline when attacked without
warning. Remind yourself to take steady breaths. Use the rush of
adrenaline to your best advantage: flee the situation. It is ALWAYS
better to escape than risk a fight. Your flight may be enough to
deter your assailant from further pursuit. De-Escalating Conflicts
Let’s face it: it’s easier and less painful to recover from a
bruised ego than a bruised face (or worse). If you remain calm and
aware in a difficult situation you have a better chance of
de-escalating. Most people don’t want to fight but will be more
likely to take a swing at you if you respond with taunting bravado
or insults. Just remain calm. Communicate with respectful
confidence. You can use the time spent talking to stall long enough
to find an escape route. These methods are not foolproof.
Situational awareness can fail us. In the face of adrenaline we may
not be able to de-escalate an aggressor. Humans are unpredictable
creatures. Even your best efforts to avoid conflict may fall flat.
In these cases it pays to have self-defense training as a backup
plan. Elements Pro Training will help you prepare by providing all
