\"Self-Defense<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rule One: Don’t put yourself in Bad Situations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sounds like common sense right? After all, avoiding conflict is something most of us are taught when we\u2019re young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, as we grow older many of us forget this common sense piece of advice and continually put ourselves in sticky situations. The best way to defend yourself from an attack is not to put yourself in a situation where you are likely to be attacked. Prevention is always better than cure when it comes to self-defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule Two: Confidence is Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, most criminals are pretty damn good at what they do. And when it comes to selecting victims, they can smell fear from a mile away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to prevent an attack is to make sure you project an image of strength. Now I\u2019m not talking about walking around, chest puffed out like Billy Badass; I\u2019m talking about developing your self-confidence and not projecting an image of weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criminals are experts at picking victims, and they tend to go after people who they feel are weak or vulnerable to attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule Three: Situational Awareness is more important than actual fighting skills.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Being<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since the easiest way to prevent an attack is not putting yourself in situations where you might be attacked, awareness is something that is probably more important than your actual ability to fight. The first and most crucial aspect of self-defense is awareness. Being alert and aware of your surroundings can help you detect potential danger early on and avoid it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
