My older sister dated a guy who was a Sgt in the Marine Corps.
he taught hand to hand combat. He taught me this one when I was a young kid.
If confronted, casually pull all your change out of your pocket, and if things escalate, drop it on the ground. Without fail, your opponents eyes will follow the money and you have your opening. Worked real good for me when I was
growing up.
So what did he tell you to do then?
Run or give them a good swift kick to the face when they weren’t looking?
