Psychological preparation

Scientists conducted a study of the factors that influence the outcome of a street fight. As it turned out, successful self-defense is 60% dependent on whether a person was psychologically prepared for what is happening, 25% on the emotions he is experiencing, and only 15% on physical strength and mastery of self-defense techniques. What does it mean? If you have developed strength in the athletic hall, mastered the skills of self-defense, and at the time of the real attack you were confused and scared, then you will not be able to successfully defend yourself. We calculate the chances of defeat: 60% + 25% = 85%.

Much more important than techniques (and even strength) are such psychological qualities of a person as:

- courage,

- determination,

- perseverance,

- resourcefulness,

- attentiveness,

- irony,

- creative approach.

A popular saying in Japanese karate is: "they don’t attack in karate first, they beat in karate first." If you feel that an attack is inevitable, do not wait until you are hit on the head, grabbed by the neck or get a knife. Attack first, and so that the enemy immediately fails.

You chances to win are much greater if you had noticed the attacker beforehand. Experts in self-defense advice in transport and on a walk, in a bar and in a disco, in a queue and in a crowd, to pay attention to how people around are located in space. Try to assess which of them is the most dangerous in the event of an attack. To think what you will do if one of them actually attacks you. That is, apply observation, attention, and the present.

Thus, a self-defense lesson for women: play concrete examples in your imagination based on real input and a little imagination:

- I will dodge there, hit this type in such-and-such place, then that subject (suppose they are at the same time) in such-and-such place, then I will rush to run away, or grab that bottle over there, break my head to one and spread my hand to the other, etc. etc.

In order to be able to use improvised items in a situation of a real attack, you also need to mentally train with them. How to do it? While indoors, inside the car, walking the streets, look around you and solve the corresponding tasks for quick wits. For example:

- what objects are around and in what way they can be used for self-defense;

- which objects would you prefer to others?

Over time, you will develop the habit of always and everywhere paying attention to the environment in search of suitable weapons. As well as potentially dangerous situations that must be avoided in advance. You can imagine these situations lying, sitting and standing - depending on the time of day, your condition and external conditions. But the best option is when, after mentally playing this or that situation, you will do all this with real hits on the simulators or on the training legs of the partner. Change the number, location and armament of the enemy during the battle, improvise, and then no one is afraid of you.
