Street Effective

Self Defense for EMS Professionals

There are a few things about violent encounters that the average person doesn't understand.

First and foremost it's nothing like what you see on television.

The FBI says that the average violent encounter last about 8 seconds.

Many attackers are raised in a violent culture and violence is simply a tool that is used to achieve a goal.

These attackers are trained, maybe not in a formal dojo but they are taught how to fight, inflict harm and conditioned to tolerate pain.

These types of people are well seasoned and experienced criminals. Odds say that the average law abiding citizen has never been in a violent encounter and hence lacks the experience of a seasoned criminal.
