Situational awareness is very important. It is the key to making your move when it comes to self defense. Sometimes we are not aware of what's going on.
Sometimes you just do not know what the attacker planned before. You cannot read the mind, but you can see and understand the situation. Or, at least, when you are being attacked, make your move instead of doing nothing.
I'm sharing different things about martial arts and self defense so that it spreads awareness and you know what to do to defend yourself. What I share in this post, all video credit goes to the specific YouTube channel. What they are doing to share their knowledge about self defense, that's amazing.
Let's watch this video. And all video credit goes to Fight SCIENCE.
Looks like the attacker is aware of the situation very well. The victim is busy with his phone. There are no people over there except the attacker and the victim. When you go somewhere and you have situational awareness, you will find it very useful for self defense.
It is always better to prevent a situation like this before it happens. If you are always too busy on your phone when you are outside, that can distract you and the attacker can take advantage of the situation. When you talk on the phone, you can use earphones. Then your hands are free.
If you know what is about to happen, you will let go of your phone and focus on defending yourself. In this video, you see when the attacker grabs the guy from behind, he is not aware that the attacker has a gun. What can you do in this situation?
Dr. Mark Phillips explained it very well that you see in this video. When something like this happens, you are surprised and shocked. You might get freeze for the time being. The sooner you overcome this and get back to defensive mode, the better.
You can put your chin on the attacker's arms. It will make it difficult to choke you. Most importantly, you can still breathe. You can grab the attacker's front hand and turn to the right. If there is no enough space to turn, you can target the attacker's rear hand, and grab his finger and pull. Then you can remove his front hand.
As soon as you get rid of the attackers' grip, counter-attack and get out of there soon. Thank you so much for reading this post. Please feel free to share your opinions.
Stay safe. Always be happy!
