Darkness in the parking structure

Last week in Sydney, Australia when I was doing a self-defense seminar, a group of us went out to dinner.

When we arrived at the parking structure it was quite full, howeverwe did find parking near some lights.

The problem was that we had to walk through a long distance where the lights were all off.
Even as someone mentioned that they were glad that two Kutainstructors were with them, I felt my hyper-alert mode come alive as I prepared to face violence.

It turned out that no violence occurred that night, however let meanalzye this scenario for you to give you some tips to help you bemore secure.

1) Always park near some lights just in case you return to your vehicle after dark.

2) If you have to walk through a dark section, try to walk alongwith others who are walking or use your cell phone to call your friends to come out to walk you in. There is safety in numbers.

3) Anytime you walk somewhere in public, keep your head up and lookall around for possible signs of danger. Be sure to use yourperipheral vision to see off to your sides. You don't have to turn all the way around to see behind you.

4) Watch for places where a person or persons might try to ambushyou. Example: behind a van or truck, or a concrete column where theycould be standing behind.

5) Arrive a few minutes early so that you can take your time todrive past the entrance so that you'll know where it is in relation to your parking space.

6) Stay AMP'd.
A = Attitude (be willing to do WHATEVER it takes to survive.)
M = Movement (Keep moving or start moving if your standing still.
A moving target is a harder target.)
P = Power Move (Learn how to defend yourself with power and quickness, just in case you need to.)

I hope this has helped you to be more prepared to face danger.

All the best,

Al Abidin
