Years ago, in my early 30s when my blood ran hotter I was at a bar with an older female cousin, both of us drinking for a few hours. We both grew up in NYC and she was particularly street smart. We were sitting at a U shaped bar and across from me a guy wearing a cowboy hat and I caught each others' eye and started staring at each other, neither one breaking the stare. It felt like it was heating up and both of us were ready to go for it. My cousin saw what was going on and gave the bartender $5 and said "Give that guy across the bar a beer on us and tell him we like his hat." When he got the beer he smiled at us and tipped his hat and all the bad vibe evaporated. My cousin said to me, "Billy, we just bought that guy for $5." And she was right, instead of an ugly night we were able to continue a nice evening between 2 cousins and I even thought that if we had a problem with someone else at the bar that guy with the hat would've helped us. It was a nice lesson in deescalation.

To tell you as an experienced street fighter, keep the target distant and your brain wired in this way: “i’m ready to attack”, so your body is ready, is for me the most important thing when encountering a stranger that is aggressive towards me. And communication: “keep your distance!” and even backed up by pushing when the target gets to close… My motto: when somebody acting aggressive towards me and coming at me, if he can fight or not, i am fully (100%) ready to fight.

I was parked at a local empty reserve after a workout & someone pulled in a few spaces over, I could feel them looking so I looked back, he looked away 1st. He drove off then came back walking up to my door 2metres away, I stayed in my car but opened the door a bit asked what he needed. He asked if I rang him, & what did I want to talk about. He looked fit & had a rough face. He rambled a bit, i said I can’t help him & closed my door without locking it. He walked back to his car, stood at his door staring for a few more minutes. I looked up occasionally to meet his eyes, then back to my phone. He didn’t look happy. I drove off casually a bit later. He must’ve been butthurt he had looked away 1st and drove back to try & confront me. I think I did the right thing after watching your video & actually thought of your channel as I drove home. I didn’t want to escalate things by recording him as he stood near my door, but took a pic of his plates as I drove away. I should’ve check his hands for weapons more, as he was near my door, but was mostly looking at his face at that point. He also didn’t know if I had a weapon on me. Dumb move by him to escalate something from nothing.

I use poor eyesight as a way to both de-escalate and make space . If they ask what I'm looking at I say "Sorry , thought you were my buddy Mike , I think I need glasses man! I'm getting old!" And if they get too close I ask them to step back because I'm nearsighted . Neither are true but it's a way to switch the focus. My ace in the hole is an old Roy Rogers line he would use when drunk and somebody tried him. "Buddy, you don't want to mess with me . See I've been in 32 fights, and I lost them all. So the way I see it I'm long overdue for a win. "

I once worked on a job site with this bloke who was both useless and trouble making. One day we were in the first aider's quarters,and in a front of the first aid bloke,this turd said to me out of the blue that he would knock me out. I have this energy about me,(due to having had a tough life) that some people find challenging and unnerving. in this instance it was this troubled bloke,I didn't have a plan of action,but I just reacted naturally as I always do when threatened. The way in which I reacted was combative,which is a result of nature and nurture,(having being beaten in the family home since I can remember)the moment he said it my eyes instantly became narrowed,and I replied "I'd love to see that" he didn't respond,and was uninterested in a challenge. The first aid bloke quickly jumped in and intervened,it was de-escalated quite quick,but I was itching to deck this turd. The first aid bloke thanked me later for not hammering this prick,and said to me I saw your eyes changed right away,and thought you were going to batter him,he looked visibly shaken,moral of the story is show them who you are if your up for a scrap,they'll shit themselves and go home.

A few weeks ago there was an incident between me (62) and lad late 20's early 30's. I agree with all of your points except my order is different. I studied martial arts. I close the space on 2 and at 3 i get myself positioned to give myself a quick response advantage. I pause and hold that position before turning my back on the aggressor. In that incident the aggressor walked away when I turned my back. With my back turned my spacial awareness kicks in looking for objects I can use for instance watching the aggressors reflection behind me in the self checkout screen in front of me. The martial arts training never leaves my mind.

When you look away, look to the side or up. This is to avoid the submissive gesture of looking down. Unless your intention is to actually convey submissiveness (maybe that's a good idea if someone is brandishing a weapon or threatening a hostage or something). You should remember this in all interactions, not just potentially threatening ones. You should even remember this when you are walking alone. Don't stare at the ground like someone who had their spirit beaten out of them!

He noticed me looking and i spiced my look with a little confident ( dont even think about it) smile - His loud yapping simmered down after 2 stops and in the end, he stood up, shook my hand in farewell and left the train....

As a kid I was hanging out with two friends setting off firecrackers by a swingset. We each had about 10-20 firecrackers, when these local bullies ran up over the hill nearby and charged at the playground. They were there to steal our firecrackers and intimidate us. The two kids I was with bolted in fear, I just stood there and looked at the group of bullies as they ran up, showing no fear. They approached me, I think there were 3 of them, they were a good foot taller than me and teenagers, while I was about 11 years old and short. They asked me if I had any firecrackers, I very casually said that I had a few of kind, and then purposely offered them some of them. I did not act scared at all offering them, but just like I wanted to share the fun. They didn't know what to do with me not being scared, so they just said "Nah", then they turned and ran down the hill and into the trees chasing my two friends. After I met up with my friends a few minutes later, they said they had been pushed around and had all their firecrackers stolen. Truth is, most bullies have been bullied to learn the behaviour, i.e. made to feel powerless, so they want to do the same to others. But if you don't act scared, bullies just don't know what to do with you! This is a great video, it's all practical stuff.

For me? Prevention is often better than the cure. I don't go to a lot of places that typically have "stare down" contests anymore, mostly because I'm older and I get tired at 9pm lol. I stopped drinking when one beer would give me a hang over (again, age) so I don't go to bars. I'll go to a concert but it's usually with a lot of friends. I make sure my tank is filled up so I'm not stopping at gas stations in bad parts of town late at night. I don't look at my cell phone in parking lots. There is always the chance of random violence, sure, even in a nice grocery stores, so the best thing to do if you catch someone staring at you is meet their eyes, give them a brief nod, then walk the other way but glance over your shoulder every now and then. That doesn't take a lot of confidence, but it goes a LONG way in making sure IF that was a bad guy, you saw him looking at you, you acknowledged his look, and went about your business but kept an eye on him. Bad guys mostly go for the EASIEST prey, and often those are those who are oblivious to their surroundings and others,. The Gift of Fear book was an eye opener for me. It was recommended to me by my Muay Thai instructor. A lot of people get into trouble with violence because they DON'T listen to their fear, thinking it's weak and / or they don't want to seem weak in front of others. Fear is a self defense tool, given to us back when we were prey for any large animal (including other tribes) stalking the jungle / plains. If you're getting stared at and your fear is telling you this person has bad intentions, the REAL courage is to listen to that fear and just leave the bar, get back in your car instead of finishing your fill up, walk the other way but with your head on a swivel! One of the best things I've used in my own life was given to me by my instructor. If you see someone approaching you in a parking lot, just put your hands out to them and say, loudly (don't shout, just say), "Hey. Can you stop / wait / pause right there for a moment?" It's worked on everyone that I've tried it with, from accidentally doing it to the cart collector who didn't have his orange vest on (lol), to the bums who try to get money off of you because "their car ran out of gas". Will this work against someone super drunk or high on drugs? Probably not, but it buys you enough time that if they DO keep coming forward then you know it's with bad intent and you can run, deploy your weapons (even if it's just hands / feet), and protect yourself.

Fundamentally, staring down is an invitation to sniff derrieress, initiated by the dog who thinks he smells the best. Most of the " successful" assaults in humans, I have studied, are associated with the victim standing in front of the assaulter, hands down, not minding space. This is usually done to show submissiveness and unwillingness to engage. It doesn't work. Your tips are super, with the addition of hands up.

I feel like looking away would send a weak message that “hey, I gave you the power.” I don’t look away when I dominate a dog with my stare. I wait for them to look away. I don’t know about this one. If you look away you also give that split moment of taking your focus off that potential threat. Like looking at the side at something while driving. Eye on the road, eye on the ball, eye on the target, so then why not eye on the aggressor?

You'll miss more when locking eyes. Looking away doesn't mean turning your head. Scan them, look at their chest. Interesting case as it shows people also stare out of fear (fear of missing cues), not aggression.

@@gbormann71 interesting. I never knew some people get locked into a stare out of fear. Completely counter intuitive to my thought process. Then again I’m a combat veteran and I have a hard time not seeing aggression constantly. Still working on it. Good info. Thanks for the explanation.

@@UnkyJosh420 I was only drawing conclusions from what you wrote. I'm as surprised as you are 😀 I was not implying strong general fear but specificly fear of missing cues. What's not clear is whether you would be initiating the stare or returning the stare? At least in a combat situation, the intention of the other guy is clear. He/she probably wants to kill you and your role is also clear if the RoE are clear. On the street it is not always clear.

@@gbormann71 I never stare first. I don’t see the point in unnecessary aggression. If they have hostile intent, I see why being observant is important. Thanks for explaining and clarifying.

I'm not sure if the gentleman narrating is associated with "Fight Science". Because I've viewed this video way longer than 7 days ago. If I'm correct the video was pirated, excellent video otherwise... example: many parts, like the old guy being challenged by hooligans thru the eyes of security camera... I saw years ago.

That's what pretty much every amateur street fighter tries; glance away, throw a haymaker. If you want to surprise someone, ask him a question; it's hard to think and (re)act at the same time. Try doing multiplication in your head while you work a heavy bag.. you'll probably notice your tempo dropping while you're processing numbers.

Solid advice, but if you want actual real confidence,join your local mma gym dont be intimidated believe me it will be full of geeks (they are the real killers) start off with a couple of bjj classes a week , throw in a couple of striking classes and within 6 months you will be a different animal who exudes confidence, bullies will sense it a mile off and give you a wide birth.

I'll assume because we're winking and blowing kisses, this advice doesn't extend into prisons. Well, unless you're already warped. To be clear, if someone is starting at you in prison and you wink at them and blow them a kiss, you might have just put yourself on the valentines list of a bunch of guys. Who knows how many guys are going to want to punch your dance card after that. Sounds like a good way to get really saddle sore.
