Another women was attacked while running. This is the third attack on women runners in Utah in the last couple of months. This woman fought back and was able to drive her attacker off. 

Ultimate Defense starts with the mentality that you will not be a victim and that you are willing to fight for you and your loved ones if the moment arises. 

Most attacks happen like this one without a weapon but still women don't fight back even though studies show if they do fight back they are more likely to survive or have the attacker give up. 

The key elements that most benefit a violent criminal are time, isolation, and control. Your actions need to work directly against all three. If you have any question about how you should respond to a situation, the experts say that there are four survival rules to live by:

React immediately. Your best chance to escape violence

and minimize injury is in the first seconds.

Resist. Your only alternative is to submit. Resisting gives

you the better chance for survival.

Avoid crime scene number two. It is always more

isolated than the initial point of contact and always worse

for you.

Never, never give up. Your attitude can keep you alive

when you’re badly injured.
