[QUOTE="grwd, post: 1038634, member: 459"] [B]Principle Three: Aggressiveness[/B] In defense we do not initiate violence. We must grant our attacker the vast advantage of striking the first blow, or at least attempting to do so. But thereafter we may [B]return the attention with what should optimally be overwhelming violence[/B]. "The best defense is a good offense." This is true, and while we cannot apply it strictly to personal defensive conduct, we can propose a corollary: "The best personal defense is an explosive counterattack." Aggressiveness carries with it an incalculable moral edge in any combat, offensive or defensive. [B]And the very fact that the assailant does not expect aggressiveness in his victim usually catches him unaware. [/B] Now how do we cultivate an aggressive response? I think the answer is indignation. Read the papers. Watch the news. These people have no right to prey upon innocent citizens. They have no right to offer you violence. They are bad people and you are quite justified in resenting their behavior to the point of rage. Your response, if attacked, must not be fear, it must be anger. If it is ever your misfortune to be attacked, alertness will have given you a little warning, decisiveness will have given you a proper course to pursue, and if that course is to counterattack, carry it out [B]with everything you've got![/B] Be indignant. Be angry. Be aggressive. [/QUOTE]
