Defensive tactics refer to the strategies and techniques employed to protect oneself or others from physical harm, aggression, or threats. These tactics are often used in various contexts, including personal safety, law enforcement, military operations, and self-defense situations. The primary goal of defensive tactics is to neutralize a threat while minimizing injury to oneself and others.
In many training programs, defensive tactics encompass a range of skills, including awareness of surroundings, de-escalation techniques, physical maneuvers to evade or block attacks, and methods for restraining an aggressor when necessary. Effectiveness in defensive tactics requires understanding an adversary’s behavior, predicting their actions, and knowing when to engage or disengage from confrontational situations.
Defensive tactics are designed to prioritize personal safety and the safety of bystanders while ensuring that the response to a threat is appropriate and proportionate. They can be learned through formal training programs or practical experience and are an essential component of self-defense education.
