Stay Ready So You Don’t Have to Get Ready: Situational Awareness Saves LivesSituational awareness isn’t just a martial arts skill.It’s a life skill.At the Christian Taekwondo League, we teach our :

Stay aware. Stay sharp. Stay ready.

👀 What Is Situational Awareness Really About?

It’s not just “looking around.”It’s about understanding what’s happening around you—before you have to react.

It means:

• Paying attention to people, vehicles, doors, and exits

• Recognizing when something feels “off”

• Trusting your instincts instead of ignoring them

• Planning your next move before you need it

Awareness buys you time.And time buys you options.

⚠️ When Do You Need It Most?

Situational awareness should always be “on,” but especially when:

• Walking to your car, especially at night

• Going through parking lots

• Entering or exiting public places

• Traveling alone or in unfamiliar areas

• At events with large crowds or distractions

Trouble often strikes when people are distracted—on their phones, looking down, unaware.Don’t be an easy target.
