How This Self-Defense Course Changed My Life.

I went to Europe last year and did some travel alone. I rented a bike and took it back and forth for my daily commute, groceries, and joy rides. That was something I would have never have done if I didn’t have the confidence in my own skill and the knowledge about predator and prey psychology.

I don’t think I could have volunteered for that experience if I didn’t trust myself and understand my capacity to recognize and react to threats. I don’t live in fear, instead I understand the characteristics of an attack. If I feel threatened then I position myself to be in a strategic place that forces the suspect to make different decisions.

Does that guarantee me that I won’t be attacked? No. Does it give me enough knowledge and understanding to not be dependent on anyone else for my safety or living in fear? Yes.

The situational awareness skills are not hard rules, there are no guarantees but once you use them (as I have) in many uncomfortable situations like a parking garages, or a crowed bus station with pick pockets, then you begin to feel more capable. I don’t just run out looking for trouble but I also would like to live my life feeling free, and confident. I know not all women live this way.

That’s why I’m so passionate about our upcoming workshop this Saturday the 15th. I can’t wait to share this information with young people and adults. Most self defense classes are based on technical skills that if you don’t practice religiously you won’t be able to perform under stress, or you do practice religiously and you still can’t remember.

Most of this program isn’t physical because if you understand victim and predator psychology and situational awareness you may never feel threatened. But if you do, the techniques are based on your own biological response to threat. No remembering just optimizing. It’s amazing knowing you can use all of your biological potential.

This course is Saturday November 15th, 2014 from 10am – 1pm. Register HERE.
