Great thread Marsh.

Excellent thread. A must read for all.

I always remind my friends to be careful to pay attention in the car...too many people get on the phone and don't pay attention to threatening situations.

Thank you Mynx.

As far as the phone goes, at the mall, bank, on the sidewalk in the boutique, when you are on the phone, your attention is on the conversation, not on your surroundings. Find a safe position, a corner, wall, or even a cafe, where you can have the conversation and keep a vigilant eye out.

I hope your throat feels better.

Just thought I might add the fingernail through the eyeball if you aren't armed and the jugular if you are lightly armed.

I've never actually done it, but I apparently convinced a guy I would once when I was younger. He promptly took me home unharmed lol

Attitude, confidence and will to win all play an important part as well. The old controversy of to fight back or not still runs rampant. Self-visualization, imagining a problem and developing a plan before something happens will increase your chances tremendously and boost your confidence. An attacker does not want confidence, an attacker wants a scared pacifist. Be trouble.

1. Have the phone--I know of someone who was afraid of being assaulted; she pretended to be on the phone to not look so "alone". I don't know if that works or has an effect or not.

2. Have the truck--it's pretty large (although not compensating-for-a-tiny-penis-large) & can make Trouble into a great big grease spot if it doesn't move out of the way.

3. I can scream like a little girl really, really loud...

Neck (throat) - Same as with the nose. This is potentially fatal, but if it is between your life and the attacker's, better safe than dead. Originally Posted by UndertheRadar1969

And azzhxles are not expecting a throat shot, whereas they are expecting other stuff, as nose/eyes/nuts/knee caps as targets are all commonly trained in defense class.
And, for technical, we’re not talking about a side swipe, we’re talking about a straight direct closed fist power (from the shoulder) shot through the Adam’s apple, cause your target is actually just behind it.
Yes quite incapacitating, the only item not allowed to be used on a live (padded) target at a friend’s shop, once upon a time ago. He used to duct tape hardboiled eggs to a punching bag for the gals to turn into shredded breakfast.
If be aware/be safe fails, self-defense = unarmed combat.

This is another great option.

Almost impossible to spray yourself unless youre a dumbass lol

Look for some youtube videos of it in action. Even a good cross wind wont stop it

Emphasize don't ever let them see that flash in your eyes, always stay calm and unaffected. Be cold, cool, and calculating. Dogs attack when they smell fear, attackers are thrown off when they see a lack of fear.

I CAN LOOK AT THEM AND THEY'D BE SALT!!! lmfaof or they could jump through p's lol...ok ok i know.. sorry IM in a fun mood.. MERRY XMAS YA"LL ANNIE + CO !!
