Body Language as Defense

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

If you want to avoid danger think of how you project your confidence and skills through the way you walk or rather the posture and demeanor you project through body language. Sometimes you can't avoid being the target of would be attackers yet you can, if you can imagine, dissuade or deter their efforts to attack by the way you project yourself as a confident, capable and a hard target.  

There is a reason why the military teach 'military bearing' and that is because that bearing, when enhanced through training, practice and reality based training and experiences tend to create a demeanor, attitude and confidence that few predators will want to deal with as to a possible income target. Even a predator of the process kind will tend to choose a sure easy target. 

Make yourself a hard target so that your avoidance spectrum spans a larger net providing you with more and more possibilities as to avoidance of conflict. 

Notes: notes are added as thoughts after writing… maybe :-) 

Note: lets not forget that the gradation of self-protection, at least as to training and practices, etc., is, “Avoidance; De-escalation; E&E or Escape and Evasion; Last Resort Physical Intervention.”

Note: attitude goes a long way, thinking and believing goes a long way; visualization of these also goes a long way and as long as one can control the ego so one does not become over-confident and as long as one can control the ego so they don’t become an asshole then the balance will become, as you already know, such that our attitudes, the body language and our ‘aural’ projection of self will succeed. 

Note: Attain your confident-skilled bearing and keep it tempered with honor, humility and restraint and you will have that first line of defense and protection, your body language… that which speaks long before one can engage. 

Note: Imagine yourself as armored against aggression and violence; live as if you are armored in mind and body against conflict and you become that… Now train, practice and apply that attitude to your efforts to gain and maintain your skills, abilities and methodologies and you will BE that…

Note: Your ability to learn and apply body language through effort, sweat and discipline will also teach you how to perceive body language in others who may wish to target you.
