Frequently Asked Questions

What are transitional spaces in self-defense?

Transitional spaces are areas where you are most vulnerable, such as parking lots, stairwells, or hallways. These are zones where you move between safety and potential danger, requiring heightened awareness to avoid threats.

How can I avoid being ambushed in a parking lot?

To avoid ambushes in parking lots, exit your vehicle immediately after parking. Be aware of your surroundings, look for suspicious individuals or vehicles, and move quickly and purposefully towards your destination.

What are pre-attack cues?

Pre-attack cues are subtle behavioral indicators that suggest someone may pose a threat. These can include suspicious loitering, unusual staring, or aggressive body language. Recognizing them allows you to take evasive action early.

Should I protect my property during a robbery?

No, your personal safety is far more important than any property. Do not attempt to chase an attacker or retrieve stolen items, as this can lead to severe injury or death. Comply with demands and prioritize escaping unharmed.
