Self Defense
“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.” - Mike Tyson
The only way you learn self defense is by getting attacking and getting attacking. Some things you can’t prepare for until you experience them.
Women especially are taught to pretend to be nice and not be rude at all costs. We will roleplay situations when you get intimidated or assume the victim - in small everyday ways and also in extreme cases.
Predators are assessing the chances of success to see who is victimizable.
Better to avoid than to run, better to run than to de-escalate, better to de-escalate than to fight, better to fight than to die.
