Avoid These Three Assumptions About Assailants

Avoid these three assumptions about assailants/attackers #selfdefense #bullshido #situationalawareness

[@terry_willis]

Three ways to avoid assailants: 1. Always lock your car doors, 2. Never go to convenience stores, especially after dark, 3. Stay out of bars. This will avoid at least 90% of unprovoked attacks.

[@411Outdoors]

This is absolute truth

[@rhonddavincent2803]

Good advice Daniel, I’d like to add two more. 1. Never assume your assailant is alone. While your attention is on your assailant, someone else surprisingly may appear. Bruce Less said, “Beware of your surroundings (Use peripheral vision).” 2. Never assume someone is unarmed. He may have a concealed weapon.

[@411Outdoors]

Good stuff 🙂👍👍

[@silverhammer7779]

Years ago, I knew a guy who was built like a pro linebacker. He carried a gun everywhere he went (with a permit, of course). I asked him, "Hey, why do you carry? Who's gonna mess with a guy your size?" His answer, which I will never forget, was, "When somebody comes for me, do you really think they're gonna be alone and unarmed?" Words to stay alive by.

I was approached by a supposedly homeless guy while loading my truck at costco last week. he was nearly whispering at me, and kept moving closer. Mumbling about being in jail for 20 years, or something. I kept telling him I had no cash to give him and to move on. I positioned the cart between us while I was looking around at the reflections of the cars around me because I didn't know if he was with somebody else. My girlffriend had already gotten in the truck and I only had the back hatch open so I locked the doors with the remote in my pocket. I do carry, and I was getting prepared to defend myself if I had to. Luckily once I got louder and told him I had nothing for him he started walking off. This was the first time I've been in a situation like that before but I stayed calm and paid attention to my surroundings.

[@markbrennan6684]

Exactly my thoughts.In Milan late at night, I was led by an innocent looking hooker to her pimp and put in a dangerous situation. I didn’t know if he was armed and didn’t know if he had back up so I just submitted, let him steal about €300, went back to my hotel and went to sleep.

[@nattamused9074]

I recently had the privilege of engaging with a SWAT team in a simulation attack. It was quite an education. I am truly a beginner when it comes to guns. I have my LTC, I do carry everyday, and can shoot acceptably. But this assailant simulation was a first for me. At one point, we had most of the people evacuated out of the building, with one “assailant” down, and we still didn’t know if there were any more. I was in the back of the building, guiding my group of people to safety, and keeping a lookout with my simulation gun in hand. When the “assailant” (who was a very large SWAT member) came around the corner with his simulation gun raised, I hesitated. I yelled “put the gun down!” And he pointed it at me, and waited. I froze. I didn’t know what to do. Finally someone in my group yelled “SHOOT HIM!” So I did. It was quite a learning experience. The reason I hesitated was because in our simulation, I didn’t know if he was supposed to be a police officer coming to our rescue, or if he was supposed to be an assailant. It made a strong impression. I remember that when it was over, and we were walking away, he told me, “If you’ve got a gun aimed at you, you shoot.” I was surprised how little time I had to make that decision. No time.

In all reality, in an active shooter situation, if there are law enforcement officers, and fellow defenders actively involved, it would be terrible trying to know when to pull the trigger. I remember a video from few years ago, when a shooter brought a gun into a church in Texas, and he was shot by one of the churchgoers. I remember thinking that the man who shot him waited an awful long time. But after that day with the SWAT, I can see why. It’s not easy.

You are doing everyone a great service. One thing, I don't know if you have thought about it much, but one thing that keeps coming to my mind about assailants and people who turn into violent criminals is how does that happen? I suppose that is a naïve way of looking at all the people who commit crimes, but it beggar's belief that we all grow up in the same society and yet there are those who end up preying on others and ruining other people's lives by attacking them. A student of mine was in South Africa and she was in a restaurant with her husband and they were going to go out for a walk and the waitress said, 'Mam, you better take off that watch you are wearing." My student said, "But it's a Swatch and only worth a little bit of money." The waitress said, "They won't even ask you to give them your watch, they will hack your hand off with a machete and take it." When I heard that, it just made you want to throw up that someone would actually cause bodily harm in stealing a cheap watch. But this is our world, and we don't have another one.

A friend of mine told about how shocked he was when somebody smashed his car window just to steal an old baseball cap he had left in the car. To a non-criminal, it seems insane to smash a window to take an old hat. To a criminal, it may have been practice or just fun to destroy something because it is not HIM or HER who will have to pay to fix the damage.

One of the best thoughts to add: try not to go where "they" are. You wouldn't go swimming in a Florida swamp, you wouldn't climb a fence into a bull's pasture, and if you are driving a yellow Corvette, you won't travel through known speed traps. In my youth, I was robbed on two different occasions on Chicago's west side. (Once I was driving a cab and should have have the security shield shut, the other occasion, I was trying to reverse direction on the Lake Street L, which action required descent to the street at that very poorly chosen point.)

Born in 60. Grew up fighting. Bounced in a bar in Ft Worth. Started Taekwondo in my 30's, earned my Black Belt. When competing, we went hard. (Karate and Taekwondo tournements.... and class-lol) I guarantee it's much more difficult to stop someone with one punch than some schools teach. Try not to look like an easy target. If an attacker decides I'm next, he must see something that makes him think I'm weak and he'll use a technique that he has had success with in the past. That can also be as a distraction so his buddy (or 2) can make a move. My "go to" techniques are simple. Hammer fist, inside knife hand, ridge hand. Then some elbows. I practice every day on the heavy bag. Also do some power building exercises and eat right. At least once a week, I go hard on the bag, fully clothed with my carry items in place. Practice drawing with the heart rate up around 125.

I have advice for the defense against an attacker armed with a knife. If you’re unarmed, find a way to disengage.

I was working in a camera store in south Miami. I had just unlocked the door to start our day and started setting up the shelves. We hear this loud rattle at the door. When we looked up there was this guy holding an AR-15, trying to get in. We were all behind the counter at that moment and drew our guns, (we all had carry permits and would go target practice after work at the gun range next door). When the A-HOLE looked up and saw five hand guns pointed at him....he ran like a bat out of hell!! The "IDIOT" did not read the sign that said "TO OPEN PULL", he was pushing his way in, which gave us a second to draw. A few minutes later the police, showed up and asked if we had seen this guy. We pointed in the direction he ran and a few minutes later they were dragging him from behind the dumpster behind the store. The police took our statements and told us that good thing we had weapons, because this guy had just robbed a store at the other end of the strip mall. Even though the guy gave him all the money they had, the robber hit the guy in the face with the rifle butt and knocked out the guys front teeth!! You never know!!!! "DON'T UNDER ESTIMATE"

As a lifelong "studier" not necessarily practitioner, I have observed that one particular "art" is not necessarily able to defeat all others. My biggest example is following the Bruce Lee story where he came to realise after learning many arts, this was to be the case. It is this reason that he developed Jeet Kune Do. The other thing is just because you have learned a particular system does not guarantee your survival. Number one rule > "Never underestimate your opponent !"

One way that you can avoid or deter and it would be assailants or de-escalate any potential confrontation is to simply be as calm and collected as can be. If someone does try to start something with you and you are able to seem completely unbothered and disinterested in either them or what they're saying or doing or otherwise just act in a way that they're not going to be expecting it's going to throw them off their rhythm so to speak and they're going to be unsure of what to do. Doing that saved me from having to get into it with a paranoid meth addicted woman who had it out for me for a really stupid reason.

One should always wonder if the focus of the assailant is hurting you or taking from you because if you can just give him some money and not have to hit him you're probably doing yourself a favor. Beware of harmless assailants that are under too much emotional pressure to be thinking clearly I was attacked by a 70-year-old woman who grabbed me and tried to throw me to the ground I look to the side and shame for her because I knew that her family was treating her poorly and her boyfriend was dying of cancer and she had enough..

They don't realize that if you shoot a full clip every single bullet can be a separate felony. I see a lot of stupid martial artist.

Then they don't have the awareness that they might be on someone else's clock at a job. They go to a bar is a martial artist with a chip on their shoulder and beat some customer half to death and then they find out that you can't do that as a business policy. Everybody convinces you to train against somebody trained in Filipino knife arts. The closest I came to a knife disarm was a drunk old guy my age 6 inches shorter. He was threatening to stab some kids when I was homeless. I just laughed at even talking to him told him to go ahead and stab me if he was going to stab somebody. It works great because the cops finally came and then they arrested us both of those kids threw a fit. The cop turned me loose later. There are many ways to hurt yourself at martial arts.

I've not had any training in the martial arts, nor have I ever owned a gun. However, I can't help but think what they show on TV or in the movies isn't realistic. I think the reason why Hollywood producers like having martial arts in their films is because they can be choreographed and make use of props at sets to augment the fighting. In a real life situation this might not come in handy. Also you cannot underestimate what an attacker is capable of and how many steps ahead of you they are. It's fun and entertaining to watch, but it can't be real. If I really wanted this kind of training, I would seek out experts and not think things would go like they do in Hollywood. There's no choreography in a real fight.

Thugs have the ability to plan, prepare and wait for the best time to implement their plan. They get the decide the weapon(s) used, location, time, situation and circumstances. They can wait for the best time to implement their plan. You’re in complete reaction mode to an unforeseen threat. If you’re not prepared, you have little to no say in the outcome. Don’t be an easy target. Be aware of your surroundings and always assess potential threats.

Right on brother.

[@Dtrain-kq8kd]

i would not assume that if they get the upper hand, they are not going to finish you off instead of just injuring you.

Great video

Thanks my friend

[@devilsoffspring5519]

Always overestimate your attacker. Reasonable force in self-defense is absolute MAXIMUM possible force that you can muster unless there's a clear risk to innocent bystanders--but keep in mind that that's what your attacker is banking on. Yeah, the law doesn't like it. They don't like much of anything, though.

Inspector clusoe had Kato. Kato would attack him at random times. Most ma people do not take this into account. The practice in an imaginary way. Mind and ego thinking they are training. Train under stress. Train unexpectedly. Train with the pressures of the critical moment present. Not without it, then expect a better outcome.

I've been in some Bull Shitto situations. Sam Colt made men equal.

Hace años estaba de fiesta en una discoteca como de costumbre, solia haber peleas y yo estaba acostumbrado a pelear. Una vez el ambiente se empezo a poner turbio y un hombre vino hacia ami, parecía que tenia algo oculto pero yo no lo supe hasta tiempo despues. Le apuñale en la pierna, y entonces vi que el llevaba una navaja. El dijo a la policia que no era su navaja sino que era mía, y dijo que el iba desarmado (mentira) Yo acabé condenado

So when it comes to defensive equipment. Be able to quickly activate after seeing a crisis, and then solve the violent situation with one strike. This is a necessary capability for defensive equipment. Effective defensive equipment will be sufficiently threatening. Guns are actually the best choice, followed by knives or sticks of a certain length. Next, there is a highly concealable knife, which usually has a sharp enough tip. In some situations, the knife can suddenly relieve the threat, such as being held hostage, or the opponent stands behind you with a weapon and threatens you. In these cases, you Need to hit the opponent very suddenly. I have these two kinds of defensive equipment on me. Many knives are already toys, such as the Reate X Exoskeleton EXO-K Karambit. I will never buy this "junk" as a defensive equipment. The most important thing is to stay alert and well trained And this video is absolutely important, otherwise there wouldn’t be the narratives I mentioned above.
