Staying Safe in Today’s World
Danger comes to us from all directions.
 STAYING SAFE IN TODAY’S WORLD

It will show you how to AVOID certain kinds of

situations that present a danger to your safety.
And it will give you some OPTIONS if you ever
find yourself caught up in one of these dangerous
situations.
 PERSONAL SAFETY
Is just that … PERSONAL
YOU are the ONLY one who can keep yourself safe.
The police can’t, the fire department can’t, a full
time bodyguard can’t.
YOU must realize that YOU and YOU ALONE are the
ultimate responsible for your own safety.
 Four ways to increase your personal safety:
1. Reduce or eliminate opportunities that may make you a
target.
2. Increase awareness in places you're most comfortable.
3. Trust your instincts regardless of feeling embarrassed.
4. Prepare your schedule daily with safety in mind.
Be responsible for your personal safety:
Be alert to potential danger
Trust your instincts
Be aware of all your surroundings
Avoid anything that does not feel safe
Anticipate possible problems
Be vigilant and prepared for anything
Report suspicious activity

dangerous situation is through

times.

moving toward you.

If you are approached…get in fast, lock the
doors, do NOT roll down windows.
If someone or something looks suspicious
or makes you feel uneasy, go back inside
and get someone to escort you to your
vehicle.
Learn to trust your instincts!
 SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
WHILE DRIVING
You are most vulnerable at red lights, stop
signs, getting into and out of your vehicle.
Keep doors locked and windows up.
Keep valuables out of sight.
Don’t roll the window down far enough to
allow someone to reach in while you are
stopped in traffic.
 SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
WHILE DRIVING
While Driving
I bumped…DON’T GET OUT… drive to a place with people.
If stopped…DON’T ROLL DOWN WINDOWS OR GET OUT.

PUBLIC RESTROOMS
Use the handicapped stall when
possible…the door opens out and can’t
be showed against you while you are in
the stall.
Don’t set items in the floor…set them on
the plumbing behind you or on the
toilet paper dispenser.
 SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
POCKETBOOKS and HIP POUCHES

ELEVATORS
Stand with your back to the wall as close to the door as possible.
Don’t let someone get behind you if you can help it. While in an
elevator, if an uncomfortable situation arises, DO NOT PRESS THE
STOP OR CALL BUTTONS!
Press several buttons for upcoming floors and exit as soon as the
door opens. Make eye contact with a lone passenger…get a good
look at them…let them see that you can give a good description of
them.
 DANGEROUS SITUATION
Despite everything you’ve done to prevent it, you find yourself in
deep trouble….

WHAT DO YOU DO?

 DANGEROUS SITUATION

Unless you’re built like Ironman…

Or know the moves like Bruce and Chan….

 DANGEROUS SITUATION
Your best option is to DISENGAGE and GET AWAY!
SELF DEFENSE
 SELF DEFENSE
Self-defense is about effectively ENDING AN ATTACK,
quickly and with minimum damage to yourself. Self defense
isn’t about empowerment, personal gain, winning, revenge
or teaching those who have hurt you a lesson.
If you have those motivations, then you aren’t defending
yourself, you’re fighting. And if you are fighting, you are just
as guilty of misconduct as your so-called attacker, because
you are both operating from the same selfish motives.
 SELF DEFENSE
Active resistance is intended to
DISTRACT or TEMPORARILY
INJURED your attacker to
create an opportunity for
ESCAPE.
To do this you need to ATTACK
vulnerable targets on the body.
 VITAL AREAS TO ATTACK
There are three (3) EYES

vulnerable areas on the

human male body (two 2 on a
female) that you can attack THROAT

without any knowledge of

martial arts or fighting GROIN
techniques.
 VITAL AREAS TO ATTACK
EYES
Any hard pointed object can be used
to attack the eyes.
Keys, your finger, a pen or pencil, etc.
with a straight in jab or a rake across
the eyes should give you a chance to
get away.
 VITAL AREAS TO ATTACK
THROAT
The same objects used on the eyes
will also work on the throat. In
addition, you can grasp and squeeze
with your hand but a hard straight in
strike is best.
 VITAL AREAS TO ATTACK
GROIN
The groin can be attacked with your hand, fist, elbow, knee,
shin, or foot
 WEAPONS
Some people carry weapons such as guns, knives, or spray chemicals
to ward off attackers.
Unless you are TRAINED and NOT AFRAID to use these weapons, they
can be very dangerous. The attacker might be able to turn them
against you. Also, some weapons cannot legally be carried, so check
with the local law enforcement authorities.
 PERSONAL SAFETY
REMEMBER
Your safety is in your hands…
The way you think,
The way you act,
The situations you put yourself in …
All determine how safe you are.
