Self-Defense

In seventh hour English II on Friday we were discussing self defense, so I thought why not do a blog about it!

Street Self Defense

Ten Effective Tips

1. Keep your hands up.

2. Take him to the ground. (when you are close to your opponent take him/her down a.s.a.p.)

3. Close the distance. (This is for real, I didn't make it up. The website says that if you get close enough to the attacker he/she will not be able to hurt/hit you.)

4. Hit first. (Incapacitate your opponent and run. If he/she hits you first you may not be able to recover)

5. This is the street, there are no rules. (pull hair, gouge eyes, pinch, bite, anything you need to do to get away)

6. If you get hurt/hit don't give up the hope of winning.

7. Stay calm.

8. Know your limits. (If all he/she wants is your wallet that has three dollars in it and he is stabbing you, give up your wallet.)

9. Your objective is not to win. (Don't beat your opponent unnecessarily. This could cause legal issues.)

10. This is not a movie. (Don't try to do anything too amazing, unless you are Jackie Chan!)
