Get real, get tough!
Self defence is more about the muscle in your head than the muscle in your arms.
Don't get scared, get angry! Make picking on you the biggest mistake of an attackers life.
Never ignore a bad feeling - if it feels wrong it usually is.
Acknowledge that bad things do happen... They do happen here and could happen to any one of us.
Learn to strike first - you may only get one chance.
No one wants to fight - be angry at the person who forces you to.
The mental capacity to hurt another person is more important than the physical ability.
Trust your instincts - they have helped mankind survive for thousands of years.
