CHAPTER FOUR
Self Belief
Firstly it would be hoped that having reached this stage of the book, you would not be assessed as the weakest link by any criminal, but just in case, lets look at the next stage of your self defence/protection development.
If an attacker tries to take you to somewhere more secluded i.e. like down a dark alleyway or away from where you are situated at present, you must stop this from happening by any means necessary.
The attacker obviously can’t do their sinister deed there and then, it isn’t safe for them to attack you so by any means necessary, get to safety.
Throughout the study of attackers and their victims, there was not a single incident identified that could not have been avoided through the practise of enhanced personal awareness.
The more hardened street civilians who participated in the treasure hunt exercise scored low on the reaction scale due to over confidence in their abilities to handle any given situation. This over confident self imagery/visualisation clouds the individuals personal safety senses by creating an unbeatable fictitious image, which nullifies any idea of pain or what the potential attacker could do to them.
CHAPTER FIVE
Development of Key Points
Now that you know how to reach a relaxed state of mind and body, you can develop your key points through visualisation and self-imagery as mentioned earlier. In your relaxed state, focus on repeating the following words to yourself:
- “Criminals are frightened”
- “Criminals are not invincible”
- “Criminals are terrified”
- “Criminals are looking for easy prey”
- “Criminals are petrified”
As you are going through the preliminary key points process, confirm in your mind by repeating the following key points:
- “Criminals are only Human beings”
- “Criminals do not want a fight on their hands”
- “Criminals are bullies who want it all their own way”
- “Criminals underestimate the threat you can be to them
- “Criminals do not know what you can do to them”
- “Criminals do not know what you are like when cornered”
- “Criminals have no defence plan”
The criminal is a coward and not a special agent trained to give you grief. Even the well-practised criminal falls into the aforementioned criteria, and especially falls into the category of “over confidence” in their prowess and underestimation of you.
Positive Anticipation is not paranoia
Anticipating potential incidents involves a constant psychological exercise.
Always be aware of your surroundings and the potential problems, and then mentally handle them before they occur.
The better you become at anticipating problems the less likely they are to occur. To protect yourself against the possibility of attacks of any type, you must be prepared in every way.
Prevention by anticipation requires an acute knowledge of your proposed plans and routes.

Sylvan came about the idea for this book after listening to his students concerns about the literature available on self defence and he thought it necessary to have a book out in the market that appeals to people who maybe can’t make it to the gym and workout every day.
Sylvan wanted to reach people with disabilities, parents of young children and educational establishments to give them an insight into what is meant by ‘Protect You’.
Sylvan identified that some women in sheltered housing accommodations are so badly damaged both mentally and physically that they can’t or won’t be interested in training at a gym but would hopefully feel some warmth and safety in the words of his book which is designed to ‘Protect You’.
