Personal Defense Self-Assessment Surveys

---

"Avoidance is 100% Effective 100% of the Time!" It sounds overly simplistic but avoidance goes much deeper than just simple observation, some call it Situational Awareness. We have taken S.A. and expanded it into what we refer to as the 4 Soft Skills of Personal Defense (soft because they require no physical contact): Predictive Avoidance, Environmental Awareness, Behavioral Indicators, and Situational De-escalation. Take the Assessment Survey and see how you fare.

To many, when they read and see news reports of everyday violence: killings, mugging, robberies, rapes and and other kinds of assaults, their first reaction is to buy a gun...or they might enroll into a martial arts program. Those are common responses but if there's not an understanding around the use of force, then we can find ourselves in hot water - quickly. Take this 20-question assessment survey to see how much you know about the use of force in Tennessee. 

Predictive avoidance is the first level of personal defense.  It is an attempt to qualify our activities for our safety and security and reflect on whether we have taken a serious look at what risks we may encounter and if we are prepared to deal with them. It's not an effort to disqualify where we might be headed but rather evaluate and answer the question, "what are we going to do  If...?" Take our assessment survey to see if you ask the same questions we ask ourselves.
