What If You Cannot Maintain The Distance?
Oh no. It should not be happening. But it is happening now. The thing is, you cannot get the same environment that you get at the gym, dojo, or training institution. You have enough space to move, make the distance, and strike. It works perfectly.
We talk about distance and how you can use it to your advantage in a fight. You can defend yourself without doing any block or parry if you can control the distance. How? Whenever the attacker strikes you, you move from there, so you are out of the attacking range. As a result, the attacker will not be able to touch your body, let alone hit you.
Again when you want to strike, you get in to close the gap so that you can hit the attacker. Where you are when you are being attacked, that's really important. You need to adapt to your environment.
If you are on a bus or train and there are people around you, you might not get space to move freely. In case the attacker is close to you, you cannot maintain the distance since you cannot move freely. So what you learn about controlling distance might not work in the situation.
You can move your body to the side instead of standing straight to the attacker. If you can position yourself to the side of the attacker, he might not find it easy to attack you. You can make it difficult for the attacker to attack you.
If there is any object, you can use that against the attacker. You can stand behind any wall or object so that you do not become the easy target. You can use your umbrella, bag, or anything you have to protect yourself and counter-attack. You can use anything as an improvised weapon. Don't get stuck to a certain thing, have an open mind. You will find a way to defend yourself.
