When choosing between life and wallet, usually people choose the former. If you are in a difficult situation and the robber has a knife or other weapon on your back, it is better not to show heroism and knowledge of martial arts. But if you know for sure that the attacker has nothing more than strength in his fists and foolishness in his head, you can act and at least gain time in order for help to arrive in time.

I myself have never been in such situations and I cannot say how I would react. The only thing that happened at the age of 16 was the extortion of a wallet from me and my friend from a passing alcoholic. The alcoholic got off with a slight fright and said in goodbye that if “here in the district, a thread touches us, so that they immediately say that we will complain to Chaly!”. He also mumbled something vaguely about the fact that he also had a 16-year-old daughter and that he wanted to buy us some discs with some garbage.

So from my personal experience advice number 1 works. If they start to harass or threaten you, your not quite adequate and predictable reaction can confuse the attacker, scare him and completely discourage him from getting involved with not very healthy people. How did we react to the extortion? My friend began to look scared for a wallet in my bag, and I just started yelling at the whole street that they had already got it that in broad daylight two poor schoolgirls were already not allowed to walk down the street and something else. What exactly, I do not remember well, because I was also frightened and my non-standard behavior was simply a kind of defensive reaction. I'm not sure if this same trick will work with someone stronger and less intelligent. But it's worth a try, because everyone has weak points.

Council number 2. Try to reach the enemy's weak points. Weak points are the eyes, ears, nose, neck, groin, knees and legs. With fists, fingers, palm, elbows, feet - whatever you can reach. You will have only a few seconds to figure out where you reach best and how to hit.

I think that it is worth avoiding dark courtyards, entrances, underground passages and just trying to keep a distance from the people around you, everyone knows.

We will continue to collect videos and advice on various methods of protection, rules of behavior in extreme situations and how to better protect your home and other movable and immovable property. Since this topic, unfortunately, has recently become more and more in demand.

I would also like to know how you act in case of danger? Have any unpleasant stories happened to you and how did you act in those cases.

And once again I want to remind you that not a single wallet, phone or trinket is worth your life.
