Along with my "what do I do if," drill that I play, I have found another add on to something we all could use.
Quiz yourself. What scenario are you least prepared for? I'm not talking bomb defusing. I am talking about those things that may be a gap that you just may have a knowledge gap on.
A lot of people seem to lack a knowledge of grappling and hand to hand defense. I have watched fight after fight, been in self defense spars, and done all the grapple training. In short...if someone gets real close to you to start beating you down...you might try to grab ahold of them. Hockey fights look more real to me than boxing matches. Getting fist fulls and swinging away whole trying to throw someone off balance. Anyway. I digress.
The point is not many people have the knowledge of fighting, and specifically grappling, to handle a brute force charge/takedown. I'm ok with physical combat. My gap is multi targets, and knives...I hate knives. I am less afraid of a gun than a knife.
