And knowledge, because we have to know how to defend ourselves smoothly, only aiming to defend..?" Certainly uncertain.

And what i find iteresting about this pyramid is the part that is called Awareness. I believe that this section will be very important because you need to be as aware as possible to try and avoid places and situations that you will need to defend yourself." He finished with a nod.

"I believe this is at the bottom because to prevent violence, you have to have knowledge and understanding that it is out there." She then looked back at the pyramid. "I find it interesting that Physical Self-Defense is at the top because a lot of time, it just resorts to that right away." She was very proud of her answer.

If you don't, you can walk right into a scenario that will bring you harm or cause you to harm someone else in defending yourself."

"All of you have done well in your answers," Antonio nodded in satisfaction. "Evan, understanding is the most important element, because that is the thing which keeps us in control, keeps us from using extraordinary force. Four points to Slytherin for that answer. And another two points to Slytherin for the point which Fallon has added, which is very well taken. Copernicus, your answer is right on target! Four points to Ravenclaw for that very astute observation. Chris and Jason, you are both quite sharp, and have earned four points for Gryffindor." Finally, Gryffindor was coming around, Antonio thought with an inward sigh.

"Would you all like to try something fun? I hope you are all ready for some practice," he said. "You never know when a situation will arise when you need to defend yourself, so I am going to give you all a chance to do a little practice. But there are rules here. I want you all to partner up, and I don't want anyone to get hurt. You will take turns playing the attacker and the victim. Pretend that you are muggles, and that one of you is sneaking up on the other to rob you in the park. Without using force, what do you do? What have you learned in this class about self defense? Let's see some common sense as you put your ideas to work. And remember that I will be watching, and that I will not tolerate any violence."

With that, Antonio produced some thick, padded mats, which covered the floor of the classroom. "Just remember, common sense and absolutely no violence. Everyone partner up, and if you can't find a partner, then let me know."
