MULTIPLY YOUR IMPACT!!
Without a doubt training gives you an edge up on an attacker. You get used to having someone coming at you. You become more aware of the variables around you. Your body knows how to defend and attack.
But…. I always want to have the scales tipping in my favor. Probably the best “tip” that I can do is to utilize a force multiplier. Look, my hands, arms, elbows, knee and legs can only do so much. Mass and size do matter in an attacker. I am after all just flesh and bone. And that can be good. But flesh can be cut and bones can be broken. So, I would rather use something else if possible. Enter the force multiplier!
Force multipliers can be anything that can increase (aka “multiply”) the force of my attacks. This could be by using my cell phone. Or a self-defense key chain (“kubotan”). Even more so, this could be by using a baseball bat, a knife, or a firearm. Force multipliers don’t have to be actual self-defense tools or weapons. Everyday objects can and should be used as well. Bricks, lamps, frying pans are all good tools to use in the spur of the moment. Practically anything can be become a weapon. I recently had a student of mine jumped in a parking lot. The attacker was male and was on top of her. Pinned to the ground she knew she could not get him off but frantically slid her hand around on the ground. She found a screw! She used it to scrape his face and get away safely to her car where she called the cops. Never have I been more proud. It’s a perfect example of a force multiplier. Well done!
