When it comes to personal defense, there are several key principles to keep in mind. First and foremost, it's essential to be aware of your surroundings at all times. This includes not just the physical space you're in but also the social dynamics. You see, humans have a tendency to be quite...testy when you startle them in the middle of the coffee shop line.
Next up is the concept of "The Three S's": Size, Speed, and Surprise. You see, the larger you are, the less likely someone is to take a potshot (no pun intended). Speed, however, is where things get a bit dicey. If you're moving too quickly, you're more likely to catch someone off guard, but if you're moving too slowly, you're just a bigger target. And then there's Surprise. If you can surprise your attacker with a well-placed kick or a strategically placed trash can, you're golden.
But don't get too cocky, folks! The key to Riposte Theory is adaptability. You see, every situation is different, and what works for one person in one situation might not work for another. It's all about reading the room, so to speak. Or, you know, the room's security camera feed.
