• 2 Most common angles of knife attack
• In a study of over 100 knife attacks The School of Self Defense has found that angles 1 and 5 are almost exclusively used on the street. 
• Mindset of a hold up
• Don't count on it, however if an attacker was eager to shoot you, they would have done so. This gives you a subtle timing advantage in a holdup situation.
• 4 Basic Rules of Gun Defense
• Address Gun First, Strike second
• Keep Body out of Field of Fire
• Don’t turn gun towards pedestrians
• It is never justified to kill
• If a Knife fight can not be avoided, what is the only acceptable strategy and range?
• Defanging the snake in Largo Mano range, we learn all other strategies for insurance.
