IdentityThere's only one goal in self Defense, and it isn't to beat up or take out an attacker with martial arts moves.
The goal of self Defense is to prevent injury to yourself. Most of the time, the vast majority of the time, physical techniques are not the best way to do that.
The best way to avoid injury is to prevent an attack from occurring in the first place, to prevent a physical conflict. That way, there is no chance you'll sustain any injury at all. And it's not hard to do. It's far, far easier than physical Defense.
There is more to prevention than most people realize, but it doesn't take long to learn, and the good news is, everyone can do it.
