DON’T STOP THINKING
Understand where your best chance at defending
yourself will come from. Learn one of the most important things about defending
yourself.
All the weapons in the world, or nuclear bombs
for that matter, won't help in the least, if you stop thinking… right?
However, if someone sneaks up on you from behind
and knocks you out. Or, was to shoot you in the foot (or wherever), then
obviously the game is over. In this case you will have no warning, and nothing
you learn here, or anywhere else, will help you.
All this new self-defense information you are
taking in, can only be of value if you stay alert. Look at it like a virus
detector for your computer. Constantly in the background scanning for bugs
(dangerous and difficult situations).
An attacker will rely on you to panic, lose
control, and give in.
There's an old boxing saying that goes something
like this:
"A GOOD FIGHTER IS A THINKING FIGHTER."
This is very true and it is also your BIGGEST
obstacle. Thinking while you are fighting - being attacked - isn't something you
can practice.
You need to remain calm, fully alert, and think
clearly in a dangerous situation. Don’t stop thinking, don’t freeze up, and
don’t give in. If you do, you will help no-one but the attacker. You must
understand this part of this self-defense information section, here at SDN!
Understand that your best chance will NOT come
from your ability to break eight roof tiles with your head. No, your best chance
will come from your ability to stay calm, stay alert, and keep thinking.
Only then, can you make effective decisions that
can bring about a favorable conclusion. Only then, can you find the mental, and
or physical strength to effectively stop your attacker. Only then, can you use
the practical tricks, tips, and techniques in the "self-defense
techniques" section of this website.
Help yourself, not your attacker!
Conclusion
All the weapons in the world won't help if you stop thinking. You must stay
alert, don’t panic, don’t lose control, and don’t give in. Remember that a
good fighter is a thinking fighter. Your best chance will come from your ability
to keep calm and keep thinking. Use the information in this website to increase
your awareness and your options. If you are attacked, keep thinking.
