Another idea I just had: set up some hypothetical scenarios in the dojo where you talk through the woulda, coulda, shouldas. Set the scene with an antagonist and an second and third party. Discuss who says and does what, then act.

Definitely, scenario replication is a crucial part of self defence training. One drill you can do is start with a very basic 1 on 1 scenario and work through the complete situation from the verbal to the shoves and the physical if it is required. After you have done that a couple of times start adding variables, 1 at a time and work through it. Things you can add include:

more attackers, weapons, girlfriend or boyfriend is in the bathroom and will be back in 30 seconds, give yourself a handicap (arm in a sling etc), under the influence of alcohol. And anything else you can come up with.

You'll begin to realise that the physical technique you use become one of the least important aspects of the situation, and verbal tactic and situational awareness become far more crucial. Also you will notice that the response required is extremely different depending on each variable you throw into the mix.

Finally, has baron mentioned, breakdown and discuss each aspect of the scenario with your training partners and share your thoughts and ideas.

Very nice, cross and Baron. I think that interaction during and after the training like that is important. You can't do enough of that, in my opinion.

You would be surprised how many tight spots you can talk your way out of if you teach your self to stay calm
