5 Ways to Handle Confrontation

Being confronted is a difficult circumstance in life that can be made far easier to handle with the right tools and strategies.

For some of us it may be a rarity that we would encounter a situation and may need these skills and for others perhaps due to their occupation, it may be more frequent.

Either way the following tips can be very useful to know and apply.

  • Stay Centred; being grounded and centred in yourself allows you to stay open and aware to what is happening around you, and also feel safe in yourself that you can respond in the correct way you need to.
  • Stay Calm; remaining calm can take some training, but being able to do so when being confronted and in difficult situations, can prove to be very helpful in being able to respond in a safe and correct manner.
  • Speak Softly; if another person is agitated and trying to agitate you, then the best thing you can do is remain calm and speak softly yet sometimes in a firm way where necessary.
  • Maintain your Distance; keeping a safe distance from someone who is confronting you or attempting too is also essential. In doing this you are maintaining your safety and also preventing them from being able to attack you physically.
  • Know your Exits; as a last resort you need to know the actual exits out of any place or situation, in order to be able to get out safely. However in the best case scenario this can also mean simply calming the person and situation down in order to find a reasonable solution for all involved.

I hope you may find these tips useful if or when you may ever need them. First and foremost however remember, if you can always stay safe and avoid any potential confrontational situations.

3 Fundamentals of Self Defence

Understanding self defence is something important for every one of us today living in the unpredictability of modern society and the increasing likelihood of unfortunate attacks.

For this reason I have put together the following 3 fundamentals, so that it may be helpful to some in this respect.

  1. Stance – Having a good stance is important for emitting a strength and confidence in yourself. Your positioning projects out a type of energy where attackers may be much less likely to attack when you emit a strong sense of self confidence.

2. Guard – Having a guard is a sense of readiness, where you have a ready and prepared mindset for whatever may occur.

3. Observance– This is a state where you are observant of all the small things around you and what action to take and not to take. It is not wise for example to walk under a dark underpass at night by yourself or be glued to your phone whilst walking along. These small things can make a big difference to the potential of an attack.

Stay on track of these small things and they can make a big difference to your life and safety. Don’t put yourself in difficult situations or allow yourself to stay in those that are harmful in the long term.

Self defence is not just about street attacks it is also about what you allow in your day to day life and communications. Therefore take the best care of your self and put yourself first where you have to.
