Personal Space and Self Defense
I couldn't have said this better myself. Marc MacYoung and his self defense system say this about personal space: Become a stickler for distance etiquette when you are in public -- do NOT let people approach you at inappropriate times. Unless you are in a line, crowded elevator or a crowd, don't let anyone get closer than five feet. In a deserted parking lot, it's 10 feet or more. That is your space, and he has no right to be there. If he tries to close, move wide. This will show you if it is an intentional or unintentional invasion. If you move and he continues on his way, it was unintentional. If he again veers towards you, be assured the invasion is intentional. Practicing this is a good habit to build, one that will keep you safe more often than not. ~TJ Read the full article here; http://www.nononsenseselfdefense.com/personalshared.html ...read more
