Scanning: Avoiding The Ambush

Hi everyone hope all is well with everybody today I would like to go over how to scan in self defense situations. Now like I have stated in a previous post scanning helps prevent tunnel vision because your eyes are not fixed on one single image therefore you are able to see everything that is occurring in your immediate surroundings.

As well whenever you walk down the street make it a habit of looking at items that are around you that you can use as a weapon. Remember items such as dirt, mail or newspaper boxes, cars, bushes, steps, curbs and the like. These are all items that can help take out your attacker by either creating a barrier between you and your attacker, or tripping them up with or throwing them as well as impairing there vision with.

As well you want to scan after you have finished attacking your attacker. You want to back away at least 15 feet from your attacker even if he is knocked out flat on the sidewalk keeping your eyes on him as well keeping an eye out for who is around and behind you. That way you are ready for any sneak attacks coming from your attackers friends who try to ambush you.

There are countless cases of people beating the crap out of there attacker then finding themselves in the middle of an ambush because they let there guard down because they thought that the fight was over when in reality it was just beginning. Remember anything goes out on the street because there's is no such thing as a dirty fighter only an educated one.
