Instructor’s note- Discuss the importance of knowing when it is appropriate to use an offensive technique (Preemptive attack) The following three conditions must be met (We are not lawyers and cannot give legal advice, this is our opinion only)
5.    Opponent in some way implies he is going to try to cause you bodily harm (says it, aggressive body language, etc)
6.    You believe he is telling the truth ( I.e. He’s not walking away saying “I’m gonna get you”)
