Self Defense Tip of the Day

Attack When You’re Being Attacked

Your instincts are made to protect you. There is one instinct though that will most likely lead to your destruction when your attacker is near you: running away. Sure running away helps, but only when your attacker is a good distance away. Rather than retreating, advance.

If you react quick enough, you’ll be able to surprise him and open up opportunities to deliver damage.
