walked us through four things we can do to make ourselves less vulnerable to an attack on a run.
Given that the Israeli military requires all men and women to serve in their armed forces, Morrill believes Krav Maga’s universality and simplicity makes it the best self-defense technique. Additionally, it’s important at all times to be aware of your surroundings and your posture, she says. Before something bad happens, know where the nearest exit is or recognize side streets where you could escape if need be.
In her classes, Morrill talks through the idea of giving yourself mental permission to be mean or offensive, so when you when you get uncomfortable you’re not afraid to react.“If you’re cornered or can’t run, go high-pitched and scream and yell, ‘Back the f— off,’" she says. Or if your attacker is angry and thinks you've offended them by bumping into them or cutting them off, try to be soothing."Go low and be more placating and say, ‘I’m sorry, calm down,’” says Morrill.
