People ...I don't suggest shouting 'fire' or 'help'. People may ignore help, and running and houting fire is a great way to get people running the opposite way...when you want them running towards you.<BR/><BR/>Especially for females, the best thing is a simple scream...as loud as you can.<BR/><BR/>Better still, shouting something like "Look! A minor celebrity doing something totally not interesting." will make sure the whole event is photographed by the paparazzi.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and as I pointed out Perdita, I actually said 'any training is better than none'...it's just a lot of the time people wait to attack a certain pressure point or something, instead of 'giving it toes'.Pauliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709405037488442948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-1127257553328656372005-09-20T19:05:00.000-04:002005-09-20T19:05:00.000-04:00Awesome post, Paulius.

But if I've got to do it, I'm not gonna fight to look good, or to win... I'm gonna fight to <I>survive</I>. That means I'm gonna scratch eyes, kick nuts, punch throats, or whatever else is required to walk away with all of my body parts intact.<BR/><BR/>Perdita is right about the "FIRE!" thing. People in modern American society will just as frequently turn away when they hear "HELP!" as they will do anything else. Americans don't want to get involved. But everyone wants to see fires, car accidents, and the like, so yelling "FIRE!" is a good move. People will come to see, and the bad guy will likely run, cuz he doesn't want to be noticed. That said though, I agree that most people will yell "HELP!"OzzyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370847672541662503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-1127252977168450912005-09-20T17:49:00.000-04:002005-09-20T17:49:00.000-04:00Maybe to some of the people it's FIRE- but to most...Maybe to some of the people it's FIRE- but to most of us it would be HELP- Who the hell is going to be thinking clearly enough in that situation to think "Don't forget- yell FIRE!" instead of what we really need?

And remember- a weapon that isn't used properly and quickly can-and WILL- be taken from you and used ON you. <BR/><BR/>Like Paulius says- the best defense is to get away from them- Barring that- fight DIRTY and as soon as they are down- GET AWAY.<BR/>Don't think you will stay and get in a few more hits or kicks- GET AWAY and make as much noise as possible while you're doing it!!.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560751901355240488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-1127199505420729152005-09-20T02:58:00.000-04:002005-09-20T02:58:00.000-04:00If I'm ever attacked, I'll be making use of my tai...If I'm ever attacked, I'll be making use of my tai chi training, so long as the attacker doesn't move too fast.<BR/><BR/>If I had a handgun, I'd practice target shooting with the gun still in my pocket. Sure, it would ruin some perfectly good clothes, but what a life-saving trick, being able to shoot someone accurately in the kneecap without even showing the gun.onan the bavarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17189006728033492827noreply@blogger.com
