Street Tough: How to Survive on the Streetz
The streets can be a rough place. Here’s some pointers on how to defend yourself during the common mugging or beatdown.
The name of the game in street defence is distance. Your main priority when invloved in a street confrontation is to avoid your attacker’s reach as much as possible. Obviously, the easiest way to do this is to run. However, if you’re not Tony Jaa, you may need to fight back. Again, you want to maximize the distance between you and your combatant as much as possible to avoid injury. In close hand-to-hand combat this can be achieved with any hard object on your person or in your immediate area: cell phone, ballpoint pen, bottle, or anything else that might extend your reach a few inches beyond that of your assailant. When you strike, aim for soft spots on and around the face (eyes, nose, neck). While he’s writhing on the ground in pain, say something like, “I NEVER LOOSE!”
