Escaping attacks

Avoid getting into a fight

Theses courses emphasize how to escape criminal attacks, as opposed to “fighting it” out with an attacker. Each course has a brief verbal introduction and proceeds directly to role-playing scenarios that allow people to maintain control in gradual manageable stages so they feel comfortable to participate in a non-threatening atmosphere.

Escaping attacks

Escaping before contact

Escaping before contact emphasizes learning to control the pre-contact phase with a well-rehearsed response in the moments before it turns physical should you be confronted by a threatening person. F.B.I. statistics report that 70 – 80% of assaults can be stopped by good verbal boundaries alone.

This course presents how to:

  • Test for honest or dishonest intentions.
  • Respond (not react) when approached.
  • Employ a protective posture.
  • Escalate your responses.
  • Convince them you are not vulnerable.
  • Stop someone who quickly steps in on you.
  • Recognize signs of impending attack, and much more.

(This course has no physical contact).
