Car keys threaded thru my fist.
What is your preferred method of self-defense?
Conversation would be my preferred method.
Welcome back Zack.
The business end of my baseball bat
I hope I never have to defend myself but if it should occur I do have a license to carry and I do know how to use.
Prevention by being aware of my surroundings and avoiding places and situations where I would need to physically defend myself. But for the unlikelihood I do need to defend myself, I have a flashlight that has a taser on the end of it.
I would try using something like in the picture also would use anything i have to free myself from the perpetrator . If they grab me from the back i would stomp on their feet . If they get me from the front their getting kicked in the precious area . I refuse to go down without a fight that is why i think people should all learn Karate and self defense classes.
Run like hell!
Awareness, pepper spray, and a deafening alarm button.
I always find that my (unfortunately) bad-tempered demeanour, craggy face and aggressive attitude works quite well. After that a kick in the nuts also works.
Make sure you don't get into that kind of awkward situation.
