I deleted my original comment (felt kinda mean- insert emoji of grimace with teeth-) but I will reiterate how much I liked your essay!! It stirred up a lot in a good way, and I appreciate your tips! Thank you!
I took some Aikido classes in college. It was intuitive. I know Joe Rogan likes to discount Aikido because it is a sword based martial art, and without a sword is not much defense against MMA or simply jui jitsu.
But after having fashioned my own wooden swords, and dancing with deer antlers I harvested when I was in my late 20's, I'm pretty sure if I have any of those or like in hand I've got a pretty good defense even against the best MMA fighter, let alone some idiot petty criminal on the street. Even without, the confidence alone is good defense against morons.
Your spot-on, insightful profile of the predator's traits and tactics aptly describes another evil set of predators---the globalists/vaccine makers/oligarchs/health bureaucrats/depopulation advocates/One World Government cabal that is behind the plandemic according to Dr. Peter Breggin, M.D. in his blockbuster book "COVID-19 And The Global Predators: We Are The Prey". Peter Breggin, "the conscience of psychiatry," almost singlehandedly put a halt to prefrontal lobotomy. But ever since he and wife/co-author Ginger Breggin spoke out about the toxic, harmful Covid "vaccines" and the scamdemic, he became a non-person to the establishment.
By reading your article side-by-side with the Breggins' great book, one might come up with effective new strategies to defeat the Global Predators who are trying to force the WHO's 'pandemic treaty' down every nation's throat and the lethal jabs into everyone's arms.
Mickey, thank you. How does one study predators? Not sure how I’d do that, aside from what I’ve done growing up and learning to be aware through experience.
You're welcome, Deb, and it sounds like you have the basic idea. I also pay attention to predatory tactics from bankers and CEOs to politicians to business people - right on down to street criminals and even non-humans. You usually discover trends, mostly related to manipulation.

Yeah...I once had very thick Italian curls!
And I appreciate your very unique perspective on self-defense. As you hint at, it's more the practitioner than the style.

Thank you for sharing your expertise, especially with politicians like Hochul saying there is not a crime problem.

Remembered something concerning the pepper spray. OBSERVE the wind direction!
Excellent addendum!
