Aikido masters say that the best fight is the one that did not take place. In an open encounter with a criminal there is no one hundred percent probability of your victory, moreover, a bandit is usually confident in his superiority. Therefore, while such an opportunity exists, dangerous situations should be avoided by any means.

There is the term “victim behavior”, which means a course of action in which you yourself provoke a potential criminal to commit a crime against you. It can be a night walk alone along the deserted dark streets, a public demonstration of a lot of cash or jewelry, causing sexy clothes - in general, everything that makes you an attractive victim in the eyes of a potential aggressor. Try to control your behavior, routes, wardrobe in such a way as to reduce the likelihood of meeting a criminal. The simplest rules prompted by the instinct of self-preservation will help you not to become a victim of a bandit, because you simply will not meet with him.

If, despite all the precautions, you became the object of criminal aggression, then first of all you should evaluate the situation and your chances in it. Enter a conflict only when there is no other way out, or you are one hundred percent sure that you will come out of it as a winner. Otherwise, it may be worth losing money, but maintaining health. Do not be heroic, because lying in a hospital for six months because of a couple of thousand rubles is very stupid.

Even if you have special training or weapons of self-defense, your chances of winning the street fight are not very high. The point is not so much in the knowledge of techniques as in the willingness to hurt another person. The success of many crimes is based on the fact that the aggressor is ready for conflict at any time, and the victim is taken by surprise. Passing through the dark alleys, going into an unlit porch, keep your self-defense weapon at hand and ready for battle. Otherwise, it will not help you, because the criminal will not wait until you find the gas spray in your purse.

Having already gotten into a fight, it makes no sense to talk about exceeding the limits of self-defense. Your goal is to win, that is, to make opponents incapable of further action. If you can go for it, then it’s worth a fight. Be sure, the criminal will not be stopped by considerations of humanism. Only fear or pain. It is worth enrolling in self-defense courses precisely in order to develop the ability to attack first, which is atrophied in ordinary people.

In a situation of potential conflict, try to draw the attention of others as much as possible. The more witnesses, the less gangster will want to commit a crime. Passers-by, sellers, neighbors - all of them can become more reliable protection against the criminal than a traumatic gun or self-defense courses. To attract attention in the stairwell, it’s worth shouting not “Help!”, But “Fire!”
