How to avoid being robbed  

You need not live in fear of crime and
violence,
but you need to take reasonable
precautions that will deter most criminals from
choosing you as their victim.

Your best weapons are knowledge,
awareness and avoidance
.  In this Self
Defense course we will discuss 5 areas that will
help you
without years of martial arts practice.  
Unlike the Arts
violence has no rules.

Your best weapons are knowledge, awareness
and avoidance

It’s the unspoken secret no one’s ever explained
about saving your life in a true hostile situation.
Why criminals have always owned the
advantage… and how you can finally snatch it
from them.
Everyone tells you that to protect yourself from
violence you’ve got to learn a martial art or
combat sport — that you must learn self defense.
Facts are, training like that is exactly how to get
killed!
The truth is…
your best self defense in a life-
or-death confrontation is injuring the other
guy.
  And it’s the one thing that makes us so
different.
Because if you try to keep yourself from being
stabbed – you’ll get stabbed.

Try to avoid being shot – and you’ll get shot.
It’s the dirty little secret every predator knows
but no one in the self defense world talks about.
When facing violence on the street today,
the only thing guaranteed to get you out
alive is injuring your assailant.

We recommend you visit the Using The "No
Nonsense Self-Defense Site page"

Gordon MacYoung. after perusing the material

No Nonsense Self Defense
       - Evade and React
It is hard to get robbed, raped, shot,
assaulted or murdered if you are not there.
      Marc MacYoung
Robbery is taking something by use of
force, or threat of violence."
Theft is committed through stealth (i.e.
a pickpocket) or when you are not
present (i.e. burglary)
.
You don't need to become a martial arts
master to defend yourself
or become
paranoid and buy a gun.

Learning to use a little common sense is a big
step in understanding what's actually
involved in keeping yourself and loved ones safe.
 .With solid information you can make the right
decisions in dangerous situations.

No Nonsense Self-Defense is a  'low impact
approach' to personal safety.  Our goal
is to live safely without years of arduous training.
So the solution for self defense in a true violent
confrontation is simple.
Use the same tool right back at them, but
use it better and more efficiently.

Take their exposed weak spot and destroy it and
then destroy the next one and the next one and so
on, until they are not functioning anymore.

It doesn't matter if you use a rock, your fist, the butt
of a gun or your foot.
Just get the job done and live to walk home another
day.

Simple, but brutally effective self defense moves are
completely different than sport and martial arts.

Combatives  
Originally taught to soldiers in only a day or two.
Then they were sent off into harms way to get the
to put their skills to work.

I believe martial arts and sports are outstanding and
provide the best defense in a school yard or bar
fight scenario where the intent is to prove yourself
or knock somebody down a peg.

However some situations can quickly become life
or death situations under the wrong circumstances.

So how to avoid being robbed?

First Mac says and I agree.  "
Most Survival Plans Are A Joke.
Tons of survival books, websites, and "experts"
have terrific information, but people mistakingly
think that reading a book or some entries on a few
websites means you've got a workable plan.  In
addition, all of them miss one of the seven key
factors for helping you create the perfect survival
plan.

Until you are looking down the barrel of a gun, many other things seem far more
important. But when you find yourself staring into the gaping chasm that is a gun's
muzzle, you suddenly realize exactly what is, and what is not, important. All of those
thoughts, feelings, emotions and confidence that lead you into the trap, suddenly seem
very small in comparison to just staying alive.

It is a sad truth that most people who are robbed, didn't have to be. A significant majority
of personal robberies could have been easily avoided -- had the person taken these
simple, non-violent steps. But if the person - for whatever reasons- decides to ignore
these basic crime avoidance tips, then
