Verbal Dissuasion

When avoidance is gone and escape is no longer possible we
are left with verbal dissuasion. Verbal dissuasion means
talking the situation down. There is not a lot to say here that
isn't obvious, other than the fact that you should never
undertake mediation without some sort of protective shield,
that shield is what I call 'the fence'. Now the fence is a whole
subject in its own right and should be studied in-depth. For
this I recommend that you read my book, or watch my
video; The Fence. I shall give you a brief outline of it here
because, as I said it is very dangerous to start negotiations
without a fence and a book on avoidance tactics cannot be
complete without its inclusion.
Therefore, as soon as you are approached in a potentially
confrontational situation take up a small forty five degree
stance (as illustrated) by moving your right (or left) leg
inconspicuously behind you. Simultaneously splay your
arms (fence), as though in exclamation, whilst replying with
your dialogue. The lead hand is placed between you and the
assailant, the reverse hand back, ready to control or attack.
As you will see in the illustrations, the fence allows you to
control the distance between you and your attacker,
disabling any attempts he may make at grabbing/striking
you. Though it may be on a subconscious level, your fence
will act as a barrier between you and he. Try not to touch the
assailant with your hands, unless you are forced to, the touch
may
