Self Defense How To

Do you think a knowledge of psychology is important in self defense training?

I do . I think its important in regards to some areas of self defense to get a jist of what an attacker is thinking and how they pick out victims( example : a mugger , rapist ), and how a potential victim can modify their own presence so as they look less of a victim to the attacker and possibly avoid the attack without ever lifting a finger , if that makes sense.

Of course this is only a small portion of self defense training but important i feel to know the mindset of attacker and can be applied to other areas of self defense where fighting back is the only option .

Do you agree ?



Definitely. I believe alot of self-defense courses examine the psychological aspect of a predator. Understanding a predator is key into not becoming a victim. For instance, predators or bully's always look for a victim that looks like they will not put up a fight. If they look like they will put up a fight, they will not bother. So understanding what goes on in their minds, is key into avoiding conflict.

How can Israel killing 14 unarmed people be considered "self-defense" in International waters?

If the Somali "pirates" killed their captives, could they too claim self-defense because they thought the captured oil tankers were going to attack Somalia?



It's a little different. You've got to listen to both sides of the issue, and at this point I'm still not sure what to think. Yes, from an emotional standpoint it sounds terrible. But listen to the rational Israeli side.

Apparently (I'm not going to pretend I'm 100% sure this is fact) there is an international agreement about the Gaza military blockade. It is generally agreed that the Israeli military has the right to attack anyone who interferes, since it is an area of conflict and they're supposedly trying to keep out people shipping in weapons. They allegedly allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza after inspection at an Israeli port, the option they offered to the flotilla that approached the blockade. But the freedom flotilla refused and entered the blockade, and the soldiers boarded the ships. They were met with violence (supposedly with knives and machetes) and shot in self-defense. Whether the people were all unarmed and benign or not determines whether the Israeli soldiers had the right to react with violence.

There are a lot of if's involved, and it's a complicated issue. You can't accuse Israel based on what we know.
