SAFE
The best way to be safe, first and foremost is to have a healthy level of awareness. Most people afterbeing attacked will tell you they felt something was off at least sixty seconds before being attacked. Pay attention to your surroundings, don’t walk looking down at your phone, walk looking straight ahead and walk confidently, attackers look for victims. Have a safetly plan in place at home and at work. Have someone on speed dial you know you can count on and a safe word that will let them know you are in trouble. Make certain someone knows where you are at all times. The following are simple safety techniques, remember the goal is to get away, strike like you mean it!
