Surviving a Serious Assault

Although some skills are necessary to survive a physical assault, it is just as important to place your life before the attacker’s. Remember that you did not initiate the situation, yet it is helpful if you are prepared to do whatever is necessary to avoid serious injury to yourself. 

Having said that, some knowledge of improvised weapons can be quite helpful. Think in simple terms. What is the goal?  The goal is to survive. Objects such as pencils, pens and keys can be used to strike at throat, eyes, temple, etc. they can also be used to strike at limbs. Rocks make excellent beaters. Dirt or sand as well as drinks thrown at the face can facilitate your escape. 

Basically use some common sense.  Virtually anything you can pick up can help in a serious altercation. 

Finally commit aggressively to the actions (solutions) you use when encountered with a  violent situation.
