This is way too deep into it.

Self defense #1 strategy, run away. #2 create a distraction or diversion so that you can run away.

If someone really had to physically defend themselves the tips by OP need to come with the message that THEY MUST BE ACTIVELY REGULARLY TRAINED IN. Self defence isn't about reading how to punch, or one boot camp. That is dangerous when it creates the confidence to stick around and create a more dangerous situation.

Never forget the #1 tip. Run like hell.

I used to assist in self defence classes as part of my own martial arts training. Women come out feeling great and that's cool, but honestly they need to sign up with the club and be out there every week. Otherwise they can't effectively use what they think they learned.

Came here to say exactly this. RUN.

And scream FIRE instead of "help" because people care about property damage more than they care women lol (an actual study was done proving this - horrific)
