Looked at control and counter options, running away and off course the possibility of simply giving them what they want and surviving. Sometimes NOT fighting it's the best option, but if that's not possible, knowing some s**t, effective skills can safe your life.

Self Defence training is about more than just the physical skills. That's why all of our classes teach age appropriate awareness and avoidance skills plus physical & verbal de-escalation and breakaway skills.
Understanding the dynamics of violence is critical in knowing when to safely walk away. It's always better to not fight than to fight.
