• Review decisive targets and strikes, combos, and other components of physical skills.
• Increase your practical agility and footwork to better leverage your strength effectively.
• Learn to continue even if the fight hits the ground.
• More practice with verbal tactics, including de-escalation, the ""Broken Record,"" confrontation strategies, assertion, and ""energy matching.""
• Dealing with two attackers
• Basic strategies for facing an attacker with a weapon.
• Simple joint manipulation to stall or disable an attacker.
