In street brawls, maintaining calmness and quickly evaluating the surrounding environment are the key. Here are some suggestions to help you quickly find and use obstacles in the environment for self-defense in an emergency.： ### 1. **Stay calm and observe quickly** -**Evaluate the environment**: Quickly look around for objects that can be used to block or defend, such as walls, vehicles, railings, trash cans, road signs, benches, etc. -**Keep your distance**: Try to keep a certain distance from the attacker and use obstacles as a buffer. ### 2. **Use fixed obstacles** -**Wall or building**: Leaning against a wall or building can prevent being attacked from behind, while reducing the possibility of being surrounded. -**Vehicle**: Use the vehicle as a cover, hide behind the car or use the door to block the attacker. -**Railings or fences**: These can restrict the movement of attackers while providing you with protection. ### 3. **Use moving obstacles** -**Trash cans or road signs**: These objects can be used to block the path of the attacker, or as throwing objects for self-defense. -**Benches or tables**: These objects can be pushed down or moved, creating obstacles and delaying the attacker's actions. ### 4. **Create obstacles** -**Tear down objects**: If there are movable objects, such as chairs, tables, or trash cans, they can be quickly torn down, creating obstacles to prevent the attacker from approaching. -**Use of terrain**: If there are steps, slopes, or uneven ground nearby, you can use these terrain to limit the attacker's movements. ### 5. **Keep moving** -**Keep moving**: Don't stay in one place, keep moving allows you to make better use of obstacles in the environment while reducing the chance of being caught by an attacker. -**Looking for an exit**: While defending yourself, always pay attention to possible escape routes and try to avoid being forced into a dead end. ### 6. **Use voice and call for help** -**Shout for help**: Attracting the attention of people around may scare off the attacker or attract help. -**Make noise**: Beat on surrounding objects, such as metal railings or trash cans, to make noise and attract the attention of others. ### 7. **Maintain a defensive posture** -**Key points of protection**: Always protect the head and torso, and use obstacles to block the body. -**Avoid head-on conflicts**: Try to avoid head-on confrontations with attackers, and use obstacles to detour and avoid. ### 8. **Ask for help** -**Alarm**: If possible, call the police quickly and seek professional help. -**Looking for witnesses**: If there are people around, try to get as close to them as possible to increase the psychological pressure on the attacker. ### 9. **Avoid excessive use of violence** -**Self-defense as the main**: Try to focus on defense and escape to avoid unnecessary violent conflicts. -**Legal self-defense**: Understand local laws and ensure that your actions are within the scope of self-defense permitted by law. ### 10. **After-the-fact treatment** -**Record events**: If possible, record the characteristics, time and place of the attacker in order to follow up the alarm or provide evidence. -**Seek support**: After the incident, seek psychological or legal support to deal with possible trauma or disputes. In street brawls, the most important thing is to protect one's own safety and try to avoid escalation of conflicts. Using obstacles in the environment for self-defense is an effective strategy, but always prioritize escape and seeking help.
