I was mugged/attacked when I was 12, started learning self defense shortly after.

The current girlfriend got a decent dose of this a few months back as we were standing in line at the grocery store. We had a couple of "undesirables" get a little too close to us and standing in a very weird position as we were in line. I mentioned to her quietly for her to move and let me hand her one the items so I had a free hand, then positioned myself to where I could drop both of them if needed. The guy to my left shoulder, at 45 degrees made a quick movement horsing around with the other guy; he had no clue how close to an ER visit he was. I restrained but slowly turned around and made what I call "Lion Eye Contact." The two guys, the girlfriend and everyone behind them in line, hell even myself got really nervous. Honestly I was just glad things didn't escalate. I know how to defend myself, but it still scares the shit out of me as you never know what the other person has on his person, what level of crazy they are or what blood-borne pathogens they may transporting around.

Not sure why but this made me LOL.

I won't go into details...but it's amazing what a plastic bag with two cans of soup in it can do when it's needed.

The common household is FULL of weapons if one only knows how to improvise. Angular velocity is your friend.

So is it situation awareness, or situational awareness?

LOL....Got home and my wife asked me why one of the cans had such a huge dent in it.

This was years ago of course!

C'mon man...in a grocery store? Too obvious!

Just trying to send a message...not kill the guy!

You're too violent.

Two long socks one inside the other filled with river stones. Smooth and they won't break through and you can wrap the sock end around your hand. Stretchy is good.

From what I've heard...

Never said you couldn't put the burlap sack inside a plastic shopping bag :-)

And I like to think I'm the perfect amount of violent.

I heard a sock full of change can be quite effective as well.

Simple math, the subjects cranium had a higher tensile index than that of the tin can. Hopefully the force exerted and demonstrated upon the tin can was successful in dislodging the asinine behavioral tendency of this particular individual.

Wow!! Only 5 miles from your residence. A little to close for comfort. Wonder if this so-called FAD will continue to grow. I guess I’ll try it on some of my co-workers and see how it goes.

As Rmtt stated.... one must always be aware of their surroundings.
