DURING
• Verbal Compliance
• Avoid arguing with close-minded and aggressive people. If you allow the
perpetrator to maintain his dominant role, there will be no need for
violence.
• If you feel a person is beginning to feel provoked by something you’re
doing or saying, reverse course and/or leave.

2. Verbal and Physical Dominance
• One of the best ways to de-escalate an attack using physical and verbal
dominance without physical contact, is to put both hands up as a barrier,
create distance, and say in a very loud, commanding voice, “BACK OFF!”.

3. Physical Compliance
• The goal of self defense is to survive and prosper, minimizing injury or damage. And
the best way to do that when faced with a deadly threat, where giving up a physical
object will end that threat, is to comply.
• Of course, when a predator wants you or your family, compliance is not a good
option, especially when the predator’s goal is the act of violence or murder.
• If there is one rule in self defense, it is never to comply with a predator who wants
you.
