This is part one of a three part Mini Video Lesson.

As a quick review there are three modes of behavior concerning self defense. First there is the passive role (shown in this lesson). This particular behavior show weakness. It gives the aggressor a green light to attack or least to continue his aggression.

Second, we have the agressive behavior or aggressive mode. Here is where we fight fire with fire. Sometimes causing a situation that could possibly be de-fused into a physical confrontation.

Third is the assertive mode of behavior. This mode is what we should learn to adopt anytime there is confrontation. It shows strength but not aggression. It lets the would be attacker know that you are not easy prey. That you won't go down without a fight. That you won't be intimidated.
