In order to provide a way to express one's use of both aggressive and violent actions to defend-n-protect oneself from aggressive attackers using the terms, "aggression and/or violence" seems to carry with it an incomplete and inaccurate perception in society.
It has led us to assume violence is always wrong and to use it is always wrong when in reality everyone uses aggression and/or violence in the every day life they live. It just doesn't manifest as such except in the ways we are conditioned to label as aggression and violence from the entertainment industry and other media sources such as violent video games, etc.
If people do find themselves in situations requiring they use an aggressive violence to stop an attack they will gravitate to that which they know best and call it; first, self-defense even when it clearly isn't; second, be painted as the stigma of bad aggression and violence; third, used to win the prosecutor's case by painting that person who lawfully defended and protected themselves as a bad person who uses aggression and violence to hurt others.
In that light I decided to try and come up with a way to say a person protected themselves in a manner not of the taboo of aggression and violence so the nature of what they had to do is seen in a light that allows the others judging to consider their true lawful expression of self-defense, defense, as justified and acceptable.
In lieu of using both aggression and violence:
1. destructive appropriate natural force.
2. appropriate destructive physical behavior for self-protection.
3. lawful appropriate destructive physical behavior for self-protection.
4. lawful appropriate intense physical behavior for self-protection.
5. lawful exercise of intense physical behavior for self-protection.
What I do is write about how a person can learn, practice and apply their karate and martial skills toward self-protection, i.e., applying the “lawful exercise of intense physical behavior for self-protection.”
