Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key self-defense strategies against bank follow-home robberies?

Prioritize situational awareness when withdrawing cash, look for suspicious individuals, and if followed, drive to a secure location like a police station. During an attack, drop items to free your hands, maintain a defensive stance, and lower your center of gravity.

Why is maintaining a defensive stance important during an assault?

A defensive stance, keeping hips and shoulders oriented towards the attacker, allows for better balance and the ability to fight back effectively. It also makes it harder for the assailant to gain a dominant position or control.

What role do empty-handed skills play in personal defense?

Empty-handed skills, including grappling defense, are vital even for firearm carriers. They provide the means to defend yourself in close quarters where drawing a weapon might be impossible or dangerous, helping you maintain control and avoid being overpowered.

How can one defend against being picked up and slammed by an attacker?

To defend against being picked up and slammed, focus on maintaining a low center of gravity and using defensive grappling techniques. This makes it harder for the attacker to lift you and allows you to resist their attempts to control your body.
