When the threat of an attack or actual attack occurs; you the victim will be the "first responder" at the scene to protect yourself. What you do next may be critical to your survival or the survival of your loved ones.

You must be able to respond properly and effectively to protect yourself.  The concept of being prepared to respond properly contains three important parts.

In the order of importance they are:

 1. Mental preparedness and awareness (if you don’t know the attack is coming the other aspects won’t help)

 2. Find an escape route, if none is available, create time to respond by (1) creating distance (2) putting an obstacle between you and the attacker.

 3. If you cannot escape use a self-defense response; the proper response and use of tactics is important ­­--------      

 In each threatening encounter there is a Window of opportunity to respond.

Don’t let your first attempt at protecting yourself or your family become an Experiment that failed!
