What To Do Immediately After a Self-Defense Incident

ClearSky Self Defense & Fighting System

After a violent encounter, your actions in the next 5 minutes could determine your legal and personal future. In this episode, John Hallett and co-host Josh break down the critical steps every responsible defender needs to take — immediately.

🔑 Episode Highlights:

• Why creating distance and assessing is always step #1
• How to properly call 911 (and what not to say)
• What details to point out to law enforcement (evidence, cameras, weapons)
• Why saying less to police protects you
• The simple script to use:
• “I was attacked. I defended myself. I want to speak to an attorney before making a full statement.”
• Legal and mental aftermath: adrenaline crashes, gaps in memory, and the emotional toll
• Why posting online can destroy your case — don’t do it
• The importance of having an attorney ready before you need one
• Why your training must include post-fight thinking and scanning

This episode also discusses why some of your biggest mistakes must happen in training — not on the street — and why mindset, movement, and the law are inseparable.

📌 Quick-Reference Checklist:
