Frequently Asked Questions

What are pre-attack indicators mentioned in the Active Self Protection video?

The video highlights 'target glance,' where an individual looks for exits or witnesses, and 'dominance play,' such as jutting the chin out, as critical pre-attack indicators that can signal imminent violence.
