Robert,

 

I was curious/concerned as to what motivated this question. Partly this is a

concern that while being cooperative may be the best policy once a hostage,

it might not be the best strategy during an initial attack or during

opportunistic situations. These directions were for business travelers in

foreign countries who were either randomly kidnapped or were kidnapped as a

political strategy.

 

Personal attacks can have greatly different rules, depending on the

scenario. I spent a few years teaching a women's self-defense course as part

of my martial arts experience, including simulated muggings. The people I

know of who have gone along these lines are BAMM. See http://www.bamm.org/

 

If this is appropriate to the initial motivation of the question, please

pass this part along to the Bodymind list also. In that case, I would feel

much more comfortable with the completeness of what was attributed to me.

 

Thanks.
