Men's Self-Defense Stay Safe Tactics offers men private, semi-private, and group self-defense sessions. Pat Collins, the founder of SST, draws from his personal, professional, training and research experience to offer what he believes is a realistic and simplistic approach to self-protection. Self-defense strategies include awareness, avoidance, verbal de-escalation skills, physical tactics, and the use of personal protection devices, such as pepper spray. Pat believes that there is no need to know numerous techniques in order to protect oneself on the street. The “bad guy” usually only knows several moves that he uses on the street including, but, of course, not limited to the right over-hand punch, two-hand shove, tackle, headlock, and “low-rider” kick. The “bad guy” street fighter often beats a trained martial artist because the “karate guy” hesitates under stress while trying to remember a technique and ends up hugging concrete. Since action is faster than reaction, there is no time in a real street fight to think of a technique that usually doesn't work on the street anyway. In this very litigious society, the days of ‘stepping out into the parking lot to settle things' are over, unless the participants want to risk not only injury, but also being arrested or possibly sued. Participants in a fight better be able to legally justify their actions in a court of law. For this reason, a physical confrontation should be avoided if possible, unless necessary to defend oneself or family.
