An aggressor’s motivation is one of five different situational components that you will need to take into consideration when determining solutions. These five different components are:

1. Location/Environment—Where does the incident take place? A public street, your house, etc.?

2. Relationship—What is your relationship with your aggressor? Stranger, acquaintance, friend, etc.?

3. Motive—What is motivating your aggressor? Financial gain, sexual satisfaction, ego, injustice, etc.?

4. State of mind—What are you thinking/how prepared are you? Are you surprised, resigned, in denial, etc.?

5. Third parties—Who is with you? Are you alone, with friends, with kids, etc.?

Not all violence is the same. A person who puts a knife to your throat may do so for a number of reasons. They may be attempting to rob you, or they may want to abduct you, or they may have just become enraged by something you have done (or they think you’ve done). This could occur on a street, in a parking lot, or in your own home. It could be committed by someone you know, rather than a total stranger. You might not be on your own; you may be with friends or family members, and if you have kids, they may be present, too. Knowing how to perform a knife control or disarm is really only one part of the story, as depending on the situation there may be more effective solutions, and a disarm may in fact be detrimental to your safety. Understanding how these different components interact and change the dynamics of a situation will allow you to choose and implement an effective solution. This book attempts to educate you about how to solve these situations safely, rather than just how to perform various Krav Maga techniques.
