What to do if faced with an
Attacker?
- The decision is yours.
Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. If you decide
to fight back, you must be quick, determined and effective.
- Target the eyes and groin
.Keys, pens and pencils can be jabbed into the eyes, face or
neck.
- Smash a lighted cigarette in
their face.
- Aim your fist or palm of
your hand in a fast, upward motion to the attacker's nose.

Walking Alone
When walking alone, make sure you have some type of deterrent
device and be ready to use it if needed. Some examples are:
- Umbrella:
Use both hands to make quick jabbing motions to the eyes,
neck, and groin.
- Plastic Lemon:
It will squirt about 15 feet. Aim for the eyes; momentary
blindness may provide time for escape.
- Sharp pointed items:
keys, pens, and pencils can be scraped across the face and
eyes or jabbed into the eyes, face or neck.
- If you chose to
carry personal defense items like
mace, pepper spray or a stun gun, make sure that you know how
to use the defense items. Hesitation when using these items
may give your attacker the opportunity to take the item away
and use it on you.
