Frequently Asked Questions

What are key self-defense tactics for public spaces?

Maintain high situational awareness, especially in transitional areas like cafes. Avoid distractions like phones. Be prepared to wait for the opportune moment to act, rather than reacting impulsively, to increase your chances of success.
