Adult Self Defence
Danger lurks in many of the areas of our
lives - don't be a victim!
Today, people must employ a host of personal awareness methods in their Adult Self Defence as well
as a set of SIMPLE, powerful, practical, self protection skills to pre-empt and repel the many different types of attacks and confrontations that
(rarely for most people) may occur in everyday places and situations...... where they have let their guard down and let violence in!
Below are the 10 most common attacks, male on male, taken from Police figures, witness statements etc for UK and Europe. These acts of violence
are listed in frequency order.
| 1. |
One person pushes, hands to chest - response back is a strike to the head. |
| 2. |
A swinging punch to the head. |
| 3. |
A front clothing grab, one handed, followed by punch to the head. |
| 4. |
A front clothing grab, two hands, followed by a head butt. |
| 5. |
A front clothing grab, two hands, followed by a knee to the groin. |
| 6. |
A bottle, glass, or ashtray to the head. |
| 7. |
A lashing kick to groin/lower legs. |
| 8. |
A broken bottle/glass jabbed to face. |
| 9. |
A slash with knife, most commonly a 3 to 4" lock blade knife or kitchen utility knife. Apart from muggings,
sexual assaults and gang violence, hunting/combat type knives are seldom used. |
| 10. |
A grappling style head lock. |
Persons physically attempting to assault you may have little or no respect for any of your rights, laws or rules of
combat! Their agenda could be criminal, psychotic or drink/drug fuelled. They may be armed (even if you cannot see a weapon immediately). Even in
GB now in 2008 the chances of a handgun being involved (while remote) has risen.
Urban Survival and Personal Protection is NOT a sport!
We want to enable the average person to recognise and repel an aggressive attacker as quickly as possible with:
a) the maximum effect for personal protection.
However, any action you take must be defendable in Court!
b) to get away safely after incapacitating the attacker -
NOT engage in prolonged fighting.
If we have to engage, we are looking to achieve the above inside 5 seconds and escape.
At some time and place in your life it may go to the wire.
Are you confident that you would be ready for the shock and ability to take evasive action and not FREEZE? Could you have taken steps not to
be in a position where the above situations are happening to YOU?
As for male on female ...it's not nice...

"...ladies are attacked up close. They are grabbed by the neck, hair, body and brought down to the floor, where
a would be rapist will mount their body and punch them or hold a knife to their throat.
Standing up and sparring with an attacking male, exchanging punches and kicks, does not exist in the real
world..."

I have tried to put a lot of information on this site to show you that the cleverest deal is to not be in the wrong place at the
wrong time!
If you do get to this very bad place - we have a top level response training to try and cater for the various scenarios. It
consists mostly of simple, linked principles to seamlessly apply at this very difficult close range - rather than hundreds of cut and dry
rigid 'martial art' techniques (performances?) to try and remember at those crucial first seconds.
We look at the 'cause and effect' - how the average person responds to a level of stimulus and impact to selected areas. We
stay well away from the fantasy of the film world and the average person's ability to take on and fight several armed attackers at once, etc. We
also have a lower level of responses for those less threatening 'family' occasions, and general body mechanics and better known jujutsu
techniques to exercise the body...
While some things we have kept 'behind closed doors' for our members, please feel free to peruse the site for legal
reference, articles, books, videos and links. All of us here in our comfort zones are just scratching at the surface of our anticipated responses
to social violence, so please feel free to follow the links I have placed to people who have walked the walk and and tell it like it is and why
you should examine your reasons for looking at sites like these.
