The best self-defence technique is the one you never have to use.
Looking ahead, noticing unusual behaviour and trusting your instincts can give you time to change direction, create distance or ask for help.
Try this the next time you enter a shop, car park or unfamiliar building:
Notice who is around you.
Identify the nearest exit.
Keep your phone away while you get your bearings.
Pay attention if something doesn’t feel right.
Self-defence begins long before a situation becomes physical.
