So far, the most important thing that we really miss in many martial arts courses focusing on self-defense is the clinical and systemized formula, which assists the learner to remain on the right direction who is acquiring the martial arts training in pursuit of self-defense. At the martial arts training centers and schools we should give a clear outline to the students that how they can do their self-defense bravely. A person must have numerous ways to foil the designs of the attacker so that he or she may cope up the situation cleanly. He should use efficient cover, concealment, and run away tactics to steer out of the bad situation immediately before any damage done to you.

There are several things you must be aware of to have a safe and sound self-defense strategy. Some of them are discussed below.

1) General Awareness

a. The threat does exist around you despite of the fact wherever you may be.

b. The nature and forms of threats, which you may possibly face
c. The places and locations where there are higher chances of risk

2) Situational Awareness

a. Your neighboring (what type of weapons, complications, and threats exist around you?)
b. You should take a notice of the actions of the people that are near to you. (You must have a very deep observation on others and check whether if anyone is behaving in a suspicious way.)
c. Your mind should be active and alert all the time.

3) Escaping to safety

a. Physically run away from an unsafe situation or location.
b. Hide yourself from a possible assailant or enemy.
c. Use blockades and helpful weapons, which can offer you protection from your enemy's gunfire, or other weapons.
