The Ready Stance is a foundational technique to get ready for escape or action. This is your go to move when you sense danger.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1) Take a backwards step to blade your body into a fighting or boxer’s stance
2) Keep your hands up in front of your face to block punches
3) Keep your hands open to give you more flexibility and a non-violent posture
4) Use loud and strong language (such as Stop! Back off!) to get the bad guy to know you mean business and alert others nearby.

And remember – confidence comes from being prepared!
