In an emergency, it takes calmness, decisiveness and skill to quickly subdue the opponent. Here are some key steps and suggestions to help you react best in this situation： ### 1. **Stay calm and assess the situation** -**Stay calm**: No matter how urgent the situation is, staying calm is the top priority. Panic can affect judgment and lead to wrong decisions. -**Assess the environment**: Quickly observe the surrounding environment to find out if there are available tools or escape routes. At the same time, evaluate the opponent's intentions and abilities. ### 2. **Judge the threat level of the opponent** -**Whether the opponent has a weapon**: If the opponent possesses a weapon, especially a gun or a knife, give priority to self-protection and avoid direct confrontation. -**The opponent's size and strength**: If the opponent is larger or stronger, try to avoid head-on conflicts and look for opportunities to use skills to subdue. ### 3. **Use non-lethal self-defense techniques** -**Target weaknesses**: The weaknesses of the human body include the eyes, nose, throat, jaw, abdomen and knees. Attacking these parts can quickly weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness. -**Use joint locks or control techniques**: If the opponent tries to catch you, use joint locks or control techniques (such as wrist locks, elbow locks) to quickly subdue the opponent. -**Use the principle of leverage**: Even if you have less strength, you can use the principle of leverage (such as using the opponent's weight or strength) to subdue the opponent. ### 4. **Use items in the environment** -**Look for available items**: If you have the opportunity, use items in the surrounding environment (such as chairs, sticks, stones, etc.) as self-defense tools. -**Create obstacles**: Use furniture or other items to create obstacles to delay the opponent's actions and buy time for yourself. ### 5. **Call for help** -**Shout for help**: While subduing the opponent, shout for help to attract the attention of others and increase the chance of getting help. -**Use your mobile phone to alarm**: If possible, quickly use your mobile phone to make an emergency call to alarm. ### 6. **Retreat and self-protection** -**Give priority to protecting yourself**: If the opponent is too threatening, or you are unable to quickly subdue the opponent, give priority to retreat and self-protection. -**Find a safe place**: Quickly evacuate to a safe place and ensure that the opponent cannot continue to pursue. ### 7. **After-the-fact treatment** -**Alarm and report the incident**: After ensuring your own safety, immediately call the police and report the incident in detail. -**Seek medical help**: If you are injured, seek medical help in time. ### 8. **Prevention and preparation** -**Learn self-defense skills**: Learn and practice self-defense skills regularly to improve the ability to respond to emergencies. -**Stay vigilant**: Stay vigilant in daily life and avoid entering dangerous environments or coming into contact with suspicious persons. ### 9. **Legal and ethical considerations** -**Reasonable use of force**: In the process of self-defense, ensure that the use of force is reasonable and necessary, and avoid excessive use of force leading to legal problems. -**Understand the law**: Understand the local laws and regulations on self-defense to ensure that actions in emergency situations comply with legal requirements. ### Summary In an emergency, it takes calmness, skill and strategy to quickly subdue the opponent.
