Frequently Asked Questions

What are transitional spaces in self-defense?

What is the 'Kobayashi Maru' scenario in self-defense?

The 'Kobayashi Maru' refers to a no-win scenario where, despite a defender's best efforts, the tactical situation created by attackers (like a trailing accomplice with a firearm) makes a successful outcome nearly impossible.
