Frequently Asked Questions

What are transitional spaces in self-defense?

Transitional spaces are areas where you are most vulnerable, such as when exiting or entering your vehicle. These are critical points where situational awareness must be heightened to prevent potential threats from capitalizing on your momentary inattention.

What is the best response if you suspect you are being followed?

If you suspect you are being followed, the recommended action is to make a few extra turns before reaching your intended destination. This allows you to confirm if the other vehicle is indeed following you and provides an opportunity to evade them.

When is it better to comply versus resist during a robbery?

If escape is not possible, the choice is between full compliance or full resistance. Attempting partial resistance is often ineffective. Comply fully if the threat is limited to property, but resist fully if the attackers attempt to abduct you.

Why is it dangerous to resist an attacker trying to move you to a second location?

Moving to a second location significantly increases your risk. Nothing good typically happens in a second location. If an attacker attempts to abduct you, it is advised to fight to the death at the initial location rather than be taken elsewhere.
