Drakulic Self Defense System 1 & 2

Self-defense is the act of protecting oneself from physical harm by using reasonable force to prevent or respond to a perceived threat. Legally, it refers to the right of an individual to use physical force to protect themselves, their property, or others when faced with imminent danger or unlawful aggression.

The concept of self-defense varies by jurisdiction, but in general, for an act to be considered lawful self-defense, it must meet certain conditions:

1. Immediacy: The threat must be immediate or imminent, meaning the danger is happening now or is about to happen.
2. Proportionality: The level of force used in self-defense must be proportionate to the threat faced. Excessive or deadly force is usually only justifiable if the defender’s life is in danger.
3. Necessity: The individual must reasonably believe that using force is necessary to prevent harm to themselves or others.

Self-defense can include physical techniques, verbal de-escalation, and, in some cases, the use of self-defense tools or weapons, provided they are used lawfully and proportionately.
