Where most people go wrong with self defense
Most people don’t get caught out because they’re weak or untrained.They get caught out because they misunderstand what danger actually looks like.
It usually shows up as:
✅ not being aware of what’s happening around them
✅letting someone get too close
✅ assuming “it won’t happen to me”
✅ reacting too late, once the situation has already started
By the time they realise something is wrong, they’re already on the back foot.
