"What we tell them is don’t stay in the fight. Get out of the fight as quick as possible," she explained. "With your thrust with your palm to the nose, you’re gonna make the attacker's eyes water. They’re going to be distracted for a second. That’s your split second to get away."A bus driver spotted a man trying to lure one of her students into his car as she arrived. She then managed to calm the student down while figuring out how to capture his license plate.
"What we do want them to know is when they come in here, they’re going to learn how to distract and how to get away and escape and know where those exit escapes are," she said. "After the class, I felt like I’m not going to get myself in the situation. But if somehow, I’d land in one of those situations, I know how to try to defend myself. I have confidence that I can get away," she said.
