Defence against Knife Attack

This is a difficult episode to comprehend , the sucess of getting yourself out of such peril not only depends on your alertness , reflex , calmness, situation but also your assailant physical and mental state. e.g. is he a robber , a hooligan, drugs addict , drunk, etc.

YOU WILL ONLY ENGAGE him as a last resort when all discussion or reasonable submition fails or when assailant attack suddenly.

YOU WILL ONLY ENGAGE him if the lives of your love ones is highly endanger by his actions

TAKE FLIGHT if you think you can outrun him and used whatever useful
object (chairs , pails,etc) to deter or discourage him to attack.

REmember, sometimes its better to be a living coward than a dying hero.

Nevertheless below is 1 way of defending yourself as a last RESORT when
everything else fail . REmember Practice makes perfect.

Auntie's World

Hi guys, today let us go off topic for while,
Was in my mother in law house yesterday , saw alot of "kiasu" aunties pampering their teenagers children and army son like babies .
Children taking abreak from their studies but their mummies dearest still "tekan" them with their own "projects."
Damn !!! Aunties themselves are speaking with broken english and waiting for 4-D results but
hoping that their offsprings can become eloquent and refined.

See and talk to alot of youngsters that cannot articulate very well nowadays because many of them end up being mama's boy .

Hope u guys are not one of those Hehehe!
