Like almost any other survival motor skill (a preemptory skill designed to preserve human life), Soft Eyes or Triangle Eyes work best in a real situation when the potential victim has practiced the skill. Think about when you first learned how to drive. If your parent(s) or teacher was with you when you were learning, your eye contact was spastic and tight, meaning you had to tell yourself to look left and right, etc. At first you were nervous, but after a while you never had to think about looking left and right, et al. You just did it. Now when you drive it feels natural, like you always had this skills, but, the truth is Keesa Marie, it is only natural because you made it si through practice and conscious thought. Same for Anticipation. Practice anticipating, which is only a conscious thought of, "What would Keesa do if a Bad Guy popped out of nowhere while I was backing out of my car? Come up with a "What If" Scenario and think it out. Please Stay Safe. Hammer Keesa Marie—Thank you so much for your kind words.

I could not agree more. "Surprise Kills," I always say. Surprise is the great equalizer. Planning, however, is the foundation of all sel defense.

I believe that your #1 avenue of self defense is having the element of surprise on your side not the predators. This means you must be ever vigilant. I've always likened it to being a gazelle at the water hole looking around constantly for the lion. Trusting your gut instincts is a must and having a plan. You should think about how vulnerable you are in your day to day activities. Picture what you would do if you were attacked in any of these situations. Play it over and over in your mind so you could react just like second nature instead of freezing up. I believe everyone should take self defense classes and should always have a self defense product like a pepper spray or at least a personal alarm with them at the ready. They should know how and when to use these products. Be safe, not sorry and thanks for the information and inspiration to the "good guys". Great information.
