Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important tactical advice for surviving a robbery scenario?

A key takeaway from 'First Person Defender' training is to prioritize movement and create distance before drawing your firearm. Aggressively moving towards the attacker's offside can create a tactical advantage and force them to adjust their aim, potentially avoiding a direct confrontation.

Should I get on the ground if an attacker demands it during a robbery?

While compliance might seem necessary, getting on the ground can severely limit your mobility, putting you at a disadvantage. If you must comply, try to maintain awareness and position yourself to spring up quickly, perhaps by keeping your toes curled under.

How can I use my voice effectively during a robbery?

Using 'Verbal Judo' or de-escalation techniques can be a powerful tool. Clearly state that you are complying and have nothing else to give, encouraging the attacker to take what you offer and leave. This can sometimes avoid a physical confrontation.

What is the role of family separation in self-defense during an attack?

Separating family members from the immediate threat is crucial. Creating distance between your loved ones and the attacker provides them with a greater margin of safety and gives you more options to defend yourself without endangering them further.
