Frequently Asked Questions

What is Active Self Protection (ASP)?

Active Self Protection, run by John Correia, analyzes thousands of real-world defensive encounters captured on video. Their goal is to provide hard data and insights into the nature of real violence to improve self-defense preparedness.

How does real violence differ from Hollywood depictions?

Real violence is extremely fast, brutal, and often lacks any warning or dramatic build-up seen in movies. Encounters can be over in seconds, requiring immediate and decisive action from the defender.

Who do criminals typically target for attacks?

Criminals often select vulnerable individuals. This includes people who are distracted (like being on their phones), the elderly, women, or anyone who appears physically weak or unconfident in their surroundings.

What is the key takeaway regarding the speed of violence?

The most critical takeaway is the sheer speed at which violent encounters unfold. Defenders must be able to instantly 'flip the switch' from a normal state to a life-saving defensive action without hesitation.
