Understanding Self Defence Through Situational Awareness

You can’t defend against what you don’t notice, awareness is key in Self Defence.

Situational awareness is the essential skill of staying alert to your environment, all part and parcel of Self Defence. It involves being mindful of who’s around you, spotting anything unusual, and knowing where the nearest exits or escape routes are.

The goal is simple: identify potential threats early before they escalate into real danger.
