How to defuse a situation where a guy is threatening you?

Don’t get yourself in them in the first place.

But in a real self-defense situation you should always try to talk your way out of it rather than just fight. As romantic and badass as it may sound getting into a fight in front of a girl is a huge frame error, unless you’re legitimately being mugged or something.

Don’t be a bitch but try to reason with the guy. “I didn’t mean to offend you” is always a good one.

Just leave

Walk away. If some guy takes what you say in the wrong way, it’s not your fault he has a vagina, so therefore it’s not your responsibility/job to apologize or calm his clitoris down (unless you actually are wrong, then go ahead and diffuse/apologize). Best to walk away and not waste your time that could be more valuable elsewhere. If he has an issue he can fix it, and you always have your self defense if needed.

Don't supplicate.

Mentally reduce him to rubble or just remove yourself from the situation.

I tend to control the space if I can, don't let them within arm's reach. If they get within arm's reach, I control their arms at the bicep and tell them to move back. This reduces their ability to strike and also informs me the moment they pull back for a punch. In this position z try talk then down just saying you don't want to fight and that you're both just out to have a nice time and it's be a better night for everyone if we can just agree to be men and brush this off. Offer to shake hands, but get agreement and read their face and body before you drop your guard for the handshake.

There is always a build up. Recognise the signs.

Walk backwards with your hands up in the interview situation. If he comes at you, put him on the ground softly. I always try the belt buckle and finger in the dip in the collar bone first. Words are useless, sometimes they cannot hear you in a loud bar, drunk, or on drugs, Trying to physically leave, puts you in a better legal situation.

Belt rankings don't exist in muay thai

There’s this thing call “rack the side” it’s when you cock a gun as a warning. Oddly enough it hardly ever works on attackers, people who want shit cant usually be deterred. It’s better to face it head on when you know it’s coming, but try not to instigate.
