THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF STREET ATTACKS
MOST COMMON STREET ATTACKS AND BEST BETS TO ESCAPE, PART I.
I thought it would be cool to go over some of the most common types of street attacks and suggestions on how best to escape them (in Part II).
OF course, I have repeated this mantra so often in past posts that I’m sure you are tired of reading it, but your best escape move is never to have to make the move. By that I mean that nothing – and I mean nothing – beats prevention and avoidance. And topping the chart of prevention and avoidance has to be the 4 A’s of Assessing yourself and your surrounding; Awareness of obvious and not so obvious changes in the other person and the environment; Anticipation, meaning, always have a plan of action, or at least a mind set that asked “what would I do if the worst case scenario goes down?”and, finally take Action exactly when action is required!
