What would you regard as the most important things you have learned/used in self defense/protection? I'll guess that the majority will say "awareness" in some way (including me), but please try to be more specific than that. For me (in no particular order) it would be: 1) Awareness of how quickly things get "nasty" and a little about what "nasty" really means. 2) Self awareness (self confidence) 3) The Fence 4) Verbal Judo
