Stay alert at all times from "summary" of The Self-Defense Handbook by Sam Fury
Being aware of your surroundings is the first and most critical aspect of self-defense. This means staying alert at all times, no matter where you are or what you are doing. Being alert allows you to anticipate potential threats and react quickly to protect yourself. It is important to remember that danger can arise at any moment, so you must always be prepared. One way to stay alert is to practice situational awareness. This involves constantly scanning your environment for any signs of danger. Look for suspicious individuals, unusual behavior, or anything out of the ordinary. Trust your instincts - if something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. By staying aware of your surroundings, you can avoid dangerous situations before they escalate. Another important aspect of staying alert is to avoid distractions. In today's world, it is easy to become absorbed in our phones, social media, or other distractions. However, these distractions can prevent us from noticing potential threats. When you are out in public, put away your phone and focus on your surroundings. Pay attention to the people around you and be ready to react if necessary. It is also essential to be mindful of your body language. Confident and aware individuals are less likely to be targeted by criminals. Walk with purpose, keep your head up, and make eye contact with those around you. Criminals are more likely to target individuals who appear vulnerable or distracted, so projecting confidence can help deter potential threats.- Staying alert at all times is the cornerstone of self-defense. By practicing situational awareness, avoiding distractions, and projecting confidence, you can protect yourself from potential threats. Remember, danger can arise at any moment, so it is crucial to always be prepared and alert. Stay safe and stay vigilant.
