*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Having an effective self defense strategy means more than preparing yourself with self defense devices or learning fighting techniques. If this is your only preparation, you are setting yourself up for a situation in which you MUST fight off an attacker, because it is too late to avoid the attack. There are many principles behind attack avoidance. One method, the �3 circles of protection,� is a crucial addition to your overall self defense strategy. Each of these three circles represents two distinct meanings for your self defense strategy.
With the 3 Circles of Protection method, visualize three circles around yourself. The outermost circle is the community, including such elements as the police and the government, which protect us from threats before we're even aware of the danger. This circle also represents the building or large area in which you are located. While threats may exist in this area, you're probably not aware of them yet, because they are too far away. At this stage, it's up to police officers, security forces, and others to catch the threat. Still, it's important to be aware of the overall safety level in the area where you are, so that you can be aware of the potential for attack.
The second circle represents your family and friends. These people are close to you, and are likely to warn you of potential threats or try to defend you from attack, if they are nearby at the time. This circle also represents the area within eyeshot of you. If a potential attacker exists in this area, you may be aware of them, but they do not pose an immediate threat to you because they have not yet begun the assault. Still, you should be watching them closely to protect yourself from harm. If this circle does not appear to be safe, your best self defense strategy is to move to another area.
Finally, the smallest circle exists at the center of it all, like the bull's eye on a target. This circle represents yourself. It also represents the area immediately surrounding your body, where an assailant represents an immediate threat that must be stopped quickly. You are your first line of defense. Anything that has passed through the outer circles (the police and your friends and family; also the larger spaces surrounding you) and escaped detection will need to be fought off by you. Once a threat passes through to this inner level, you can no longer live in denial that the police, your spouse, your parents, or your friends will protect you from harm. These �others� only exist in your overall self defense strategy until the threat is in your immediate area.
What does the �3 circles of protection� method mean for you? If you are serious about developing the necessary skills to protect yourself, then it is vital to understand that you are your own last line of defense. In the moment when the attacker has slipped through the outermost two circles, and is standing in front of you, it is up to you, alone, to protect yourself. Prepare yourself for this possibility by carrying a stun gun, pepper spray canister, or anything else you can use to fight off such a threat.
