Danger in the Streets …

We learn self defence to improve or chances of prevailing, should we be assaulted out there, in the world.

We can though, be assaulted in a variety of ways - to name a few:

• an announced or obvious physical threat 
• mob violence
• an ambush 
• a deceptive threat (a mugging or con)
• bullying or intimidation (school and workplace)
• attack by vampire (this one is very common). I refer here to those people who ‘exploit’ us; sometimes this can be far more devastating than the effects of actual physical assault.

Knowing a little about how these different types of threats (and others) manifest in the world, leaves us a little more prepared when (or if) we find ourselves on the receiving end. The art of self defence - encompasses a large and varied landscape.
