When coming under a surprise attack

Calming down is the only real way to protect yourself. It is not easy, but it is the most important.

Reduce the alertness of gangsters

Regardless of whether you plan to attack the gangsters or not, try your best to reduce their alertness and distract their attention in order to create a chance to escape.
If the gangsters are holding weapons, try to have them put aside the weapons.
Try to temporize and puzzle the gangsters. For example, you may tell them you are in your menstrual period, are pregnant and feeling ill, or ask them to move to another place that you are familiar with and where you can regain control.
