Rika - if you know how to prevent a dog from attacking you -- good for you. I believe I have enough understanding to keep a dog from jumping on my, and biting my vital parts as well.
However, if you haven't dealt with a pit bull and his jaws, I suggest you check out a friendly pit-bull up close. Play tug-of-war with him. Listen to the sound his jaw makes when it snaps shut. Feel his chest muscles. Keep in mind that once a pit-bull clamps down on something, it is very, very difficult to persuade a pit bull to release his jaws. Yes - they are THAT strong. And to clarify - I really like my bro-in-law's pit - he is truly a wonderful pit. Wonderful, but very, very strong - as in he can bite a golf-ball in half WITH ONE CHOMP! I've seen this firsthand.
So you may want to approach pit bulls with a modesty vs. an "I can handle it" attitude. Just sayin'
