The 5 D’s of Self-Defense
provide a framework for understanding and conveying all self-defense tips, advice, and concepts along with the emotional states that accompany them. What you do in response to an assault is driven in part by your emotional state, not just by what you know.

Your emotional state is conditioned by your preparation. Effective self-defense training requires a realistic assessment and evaluation of your emotional state in assault situations not simply instruction of what to do. It is your emotional state that determines your ability to execute the actions of disrupting your attacker, and thereby creating the opportunity to escape and disengage.

The 5 D’s are a visual blueprint of a complete self-defense strategy and plan of action.

Plan and Prepare for Aggression
DECIDE is the preparation step. It is the foundation of self-defense. It is made up of planning, education, acceptance, training,conditioning, avoidance, and strategy.
Decide not to be a victim. Use preparation and planning prior toan act of aggression. Learn about crime and criminal behavior.

Train to respond to all forms of aggression. Practice avoidance and risk reduction. Acknowledge the existence of risk. Condition your body and mind for the realities of violence.

Prevent and Repel Aggression
DETER is the prevention step It begins when you leave an area of safety and continues until the moment of the actions of DISRUPT.

It involves repelling all potential aggressors and building your readiness for a physical assault. It is characterized by awareness, intuition, attitude and appearance, assertiveness, body language, boundary setting, and deception.

Deter and prevent an act of aggression. Learn how to de-escalate a confrontation. Project confidence with body language. Be assertive.

Practice situational awareness.Respond to the warnings of intuition. Create safety zones. Utilize boundary setting. Deceive when necessary.

Build readiness. Determine Confirmation of Bad Intention.

Shock and Surprise your Aggressor
DISRUPT is the violent and most physical step of self-defense. Its sole purpose is to create the opportunity to escape.

It begins with the trigger to act and involves the concept of attacking the attacker to surprise, shock, or cause injury to your attacker.

Disrupt the aggressor. Respond to the Trigger to Act. Foil his plans.

Apply verbal and/or physical techniques. Use tactics such as the employment of weapons of opportunity. Execute a decisive strategy.

Attack the attacker. Utilize any means available. Create the Opportunity to Escape in order to disengage.

Evade and Escape from your Aggressor
DISENGAGE is the immediate goal of self-defense. It involves your complete commitment to get away from your attacker.

Alternatively, it is the result of your actions that has caused your aggressor to discontinue the attack. It is characterized by your flight to safety, or either the aggressor is unwilling, or unable to continue his attack.

Disengage and get away from the aggressor. Respond the Opportunity to Escape. Create an ending. Carryout an exit strategy. Cause the aggressor to break off his actions.

Evade and escape. Terminate the aggressor’s ability to engage and cause harm. Flee to safety. Get out of there.

Discuss and Heal to Reduce the After Effects
DEBRIEF is the long term goal of self-defense. It is the aftereffects of an assault.

The ultimate purpose of self-defense is to minimize the long term consequences and the aftermath of aggression.

This concept includes creating peace of mind. Debrief and discuss the consequences of aggression.

Reduce the after effects. Promote physical and emotional healing. Get legal advice. Seek support and assistance. Learn resilience.

COMMENT by Clint Overland

On using Verbal DETERrence:
– Couple years ago two frat rats started arguing and shoving one another. Walked up to the put my arms around their shoulders pulled them close and said ” I love the smell of pre-rape in the air right now” blowed a kiss at one . They left.
–  Had a guy show his dick to o e of my waitresses. I walked over and offered to show him the other end of it if he didn’t leave. Captain Perv decided to run.

On DISRUPTING people:
– Had a middle age white guy in golf shorts an flip flops decide to get froggy one night this fall. Said I wasn’t tough enough to make him leave. I kicked him in his toes an peeled 3 toenails right up. Help him walk to his car.

– One steroid monkey last summer told me I wasn’t big enough to make him leave. Punched him in the dick with a knuckle duster . Folded him right over. Straight into a chicken wing arm bar and damned if his head didn’t find ever hard corner on the way out.

On DEBRIEF:
– Always remember. Speed equals innocence. The faster its over the more likely you are to Influence the testimony of the witnesses.

  20. Приветствую, уважаемые форумчане! Хочу рассказать о важности и необходимости профессионального ухода за деревьями, особенно в условиях городской среды. Речь пойдет об арбористике – комплексе мероприятий по уходу, лечению и, при необходимости, удалению деревьев.

    Многие считают, что уход за деревьями ограничивается поливом и обрезкой сухих веток. Однако, современная арбористика – это целая наука, включающая в себя диагностику заболеваний, укрепление деревьев, защиту от вредителей и формирование кроны – http://www.bisound.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1556214 – Расчистка участка

  21. Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based upon on the same ideas you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my subscribers would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e-mail.

  22. That is really interesting, You are a very professional blogger. I’ve joined your feed and stay up for looking for more of your fantastic post. Also, I’ve shared your web site in my social networks!

  23. I would also love to add that when you do not already have an insurance policy or maybe you do not take part in any group insurance, you could possibly well really benefit from seeking the help of a health agent. Self-employed or people having medical conditions ordinarily seek the help of one health insurance brokerage service. Thanks for your writing.

  24. hello!,I really like your writing very much! proportion we keep up a
    correspondence more approximately your article on AOL? I need an expert on this area to solve my problem.
    Maybe that is you! Taking a look ahead to look you.
