make the decision to resist!

Defense against a violent attack is available for any victim, but not always without serious consequences. A decision to resist must be made by viewing all the circumstances.

How much defense is appropriate? The defense should be proportionate to the intensity of the aggression. If a `Date' is forcefully grabbed by the arm in a Sunday afternoon football party, a spear strike to her companion's throat or a knee to his groin, with the risks of serious injury or even death, would he inappropriate.

More appropriate responses might be a verbal admonition, a stump to the shin or a radial nerve strike. Circumstances govern. However, we must always recognize that a sudden, violent attack may preclude consideration of options, the thought process being arrested by survival instincts.

It is unnatural to submit to violence. The Executive Defense program is designed to complement a person's natural desire to resist, Self defense programs that only teach prevention, avoidance and compliance fail to consider all options. This program recognizes that compliance is an acceptable option when life is in jeopardy or defense cannot be realistically used without risk of serious personal injury. Attacks involving firearms, edged weapons or numerous assailants are extremely dangerous. Victims should be realistic about defending themselves from such attacks. Victims should also always look to escape. Survival comes in many forms; living and reporting the incident is paramount.

When the decision to resist is the reaction to a sudden violent attack, resistance should be quick and deliberate, a precise counter attack. Focus on the attacker's vulnerable points and concentrate on striking these locations, The victim must decide to fight fur themselves and for everyone who loves and cares for them.

The purpose is escape. Be aware, ready and willing to inflict serious harm, if necessary, to escape. This must be the mindset. The attacker chose to use force and is responsible for what ensues. The victim's counter attack is only a response to the felonious assault. For counter attack to be effective in many cases, the victim must strike vulnerable points. The intention is not to injure or kill, but to survive through escape.
