Sitting Duck Self-Defense
They teach their students to step back with one leg to get into a wide stance.
They say it's helpful for balance and to be ready to defend andthey call it 'getting into a good base' (stance).
Who are they? They are martial arts instructors all over the world.
I disagree with getting into a stance because it makes you a stationary target, a sitting duck.
A much better idea is to start moving. Then you'll become a moving target.
If you've ever shot a BB gun at a moving target at an amusement park you'll remember that the moving targets were always the hardest ones to hit. So it is with people. If you've moving, (preferably away from the attacker) it's more difficult for them to attack you.
Just about their only option would be to tackle you. If they do try to tackle you, just quickly spin your body about one quarter of a turn, right where you stand, and the attacker will deflect off of your body and probably fall down.
Moving works well because most fighters train standing still, so they're not used to fighting while moving. That includes the good guys and the bad guys.
So if you feel threatened by someone, don't become a sitting duck,get moving to someplace safer.
Stay safe,
