GAVSD
: What is GAVSD when it comes to self-defense?
ANSWER: GAVSD or "The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense" is one of the first steps an individual should use in Self-Defense. Awareness of your surroundings, staying out of those places and trying to walk away from a situation are the initial steps to successful self-defense. However, if these options do not bring about the result you are looking for, the art of verbal self-defense is a must. Using verbal skills could be your last step to diffuse a situation before it becomes physical. When you think about how many physical confrontations you have encountered personally in your life, they can probably be counted on one hand. Verbal confrontations are the most common types of problems we face in today's society. If one can develop their verbal skills, physical confrontations can, in most cases, be diffused. By the tone of your voice, the choice of words, the look on your face and the body language used can determine whether or not the confrontation will escalate to a higher plain.
