- Be aware- Study human body language so you will know what an aggressor is about to do. By knowing how an aggressor stand, looks, or motions you will have an idea on what he will do next.
- Learn how to control a situation- Keep in mind that the person who controls the situation will always be the person to come out on top. Don’t panic and react to a situation without a plan. Always think of the best way to act decisively on a situation to come out on top.
- Be the first to strike offensively- There will come a time when a fight will be unavoidable so you need to be on the offensive right away. Hurt your aggressor first and hurt him bad to immobilize your attacker to eliminate the danger of retaliation and returning.

May 2, 2019 - 11:51 pmThanks for pointing out that there are no rules for self-defense. As you said, you must do everything to keep your attackers away from you and to protect yourself. I will keep that in mind since I felt worried if I might get charged if I hurt another person. But this is just for my own safety, so I must do everything I can. I will be looking for a class to attend since I have been meaning to learn it now that I will be living alone once I get accepted to a job in the city.
