Often you must rely on your intuition.
Intuition, instinct, sixth sense - these are all the same thing. Learn to listen to it and just react to the feeling. If that means avoiding walking through a crowd or reacting to a physical threat, just do it. You will have time to think about it later. I have never seen this principle better demonstrated than on the Human Weapon Krav Maga episode that just aired on the History Channel. One of the top instructors commented that only a small percentage of what you learn in a martial art is actually useful in real life; all the fancy stuff is for the movies. The training is to react to what ever comes at you, and finish it in the quickest possible way. The best way to defend yourself is to be aware of what is going on around you, and avoid any possible physical confrontation.
