re: #64 Obdicut

When feasible retreat is the best. But Reine had a great point. Often the attacker gets us by surprise and the fight to even escape is on. Like when a womans hair is grabbed. Tough escape right? At least without those skills you “hate to see touted”.

Please remember retreat is often attempted and the bad guy is too much to evade. Literally turning your back is a deadly mistake against a weapon or physical assault. How fast can you run backwards? I do say and teach that you give up the wallet and go in a mugging.

Frankly I want the victim to have some reasonable advantages. I’m not afraid of victims, I’m afraid of attackers.
