Yesterday night at about 10.30, I was returning home from office. I was riding my motorcycle.
Traffic signal was green for me and I was crossing the road when two guys in a scooty jumped the red signal and suddenly came in my way.
I gave them a verbal abuse and continued my way. After I had gone some half kilometre, I heard someone shouting at me.

I stopped my bike and both of us got down and abused each other for a couple of minutes.
I then realised that the guys were drunk. One of the guys threatened me that he knows that locality well and he will make sure that I don’t travel in that area again. He even tried to snatch my bike keys.
I threatened him back that I know the police inspector of that area and I will make sure he spends a month in jail. Then suddenly he tried to slap me.

I wanted to punch him on his throat, but I has holding my helmet with my other hand. But anyway I wanted to put that helmet in his face 🙂
But then I was not sure how much the situation might escalate if I threw in that punch. Already a crowd had started to gather.
Since I had never been in such a situation before and I was alone, I was not sure what to do if the situation escalates too much.

What if someone calls the cops and then they might haul us both to the police station.
I felt it was not worth all that risk and trouble.
So I told the guy that if he follows me, I’ll call the cops and I just left the place.

I knew I could kick his ass if I wanted to. This confidence itself helped me to keep my calm and not be intimidated by him.
I knew if I panicked and gave in, half the battle was lost.
Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru, India) also helped my sharpen my reflexes.
I also realised that on the street, it is a lot more difficult to use the techniques than in the class 🙂
If I wanted to knee the guy’s groin, I couldn’t have done it since I was too close to him and there was not enough space for that move.
I could’ve stabbed his face with my keys or a pen 🙂
I’m pretty sure this incident is not the last one I’ll encounter, since accidents and road rage are so common in Bangalore now.
