With in your own self defense you need to know how to disarm weapons

The world of self defense is violent by nature; no sport art here. If somebody is attacking you and you must protect yourself then it's certainly not some game. Your existence could certainly hang in the end result of precisely what you will perform to take out your attacker. To that end, many martial arts never train with weapons or weapons disarms. If you are really in one of these arts you may perhaps want to get some outside help to obtain the skills to defend yourself from basic weapons which can be used against you on the street. These fall into 3 types, generally they are: guns, edged weapons, and sticks (clubs or baseball bats). Here is the compressed list of strategy for each.


Guns: you close the gap between you and them so that the reaction time from attack to pull the trigger is really in your favor. You see, with respect to the adversary to pull the trigger he: first must recognize he or she is under attack. Second he or she needs to identify exactly where you are going (path). 3rd he must realize exactly where he is; that is, where the weapon is pointed plus his or her physical position. Next this individual must figure out exactly what course of action to put into action. At this moment is where he/she might decide they must rotate left, raise the weapon a lot higher, and fire. At last he/she has to execute the program. This all requires psychological time and by closing the distance you have actually reduced their successful response time down and also into your favor.


 Edged weapons and sticks ... you want to open the distance from your attacker. You want these people to make a long distance and committed attack towards you. This puts you in a favorable position as they need to move a long way to get you. You possess the time to observe the attack, decide what to do and execute the plan. You likewise drop their reaction time down as you close in to disarm or attack. Much like in the firearm scenario you have indeed shortened their perception along with reaction time.


Also paramount in self defence that you don't fool around. You need to disable your attacker so they can't return in order to harm you. What I mean here is you do not want them getting back up off the ground and being rather psychotic at you. You must ensure they don't want to continue the attack.


If you learn to disarm weapons you should also study the best ways to employ that weapon if required. You might learn how to shoot or at least how you may employ that gun to your benefit. There is actually a weapon called a defender (self defense weapon) which is a small plastic, unusually shaped, weapon which is actually utilized on pressure points. You can view this at PDWS. biz. You are able to utilize most everything you pick up like| a defender and that includes a firearm. A firearm can be employed on pressure points on the body as well as against boney locations of the body, just like a defender or even a Kubotan.


In conclusion, you are the weapon and anything that gets into your hands you need to know how to utilize it. Gun, edged weapons or clubs ... you need to know how to use them for your own protection or the protection of your loved ones. There are great videos to had on these subjects, all found on the web. So I encourage my fellow artists to broaden their skill sets in martial arts and turn them into self defense skill sets too!

DNA and the self defense weapon

A little known reality. If you utilize a defender to defend (self protection weapon) yourself as well as you obtain your aggressor blood/tissue or the like, you have DNA on the defender. Place it a plastic bag and send it to me. Also I have a buddy can process the defender for DNA. Might be of great assistance later down the roadway and also I will replace your defender for FREE! In some situations this could possibly be very beneficial and also useful to nail the criminal so he/she won't do any longer damage to the basic people. This can be your greatest self protection!

Listen... if you successfully defend yourself and the criminal gets away, why not consider submitting the defender with his/her DNA on it. The police might be able to help get the attacker and even tough you were successful, others might not be so talented as you were in purchasing plus using a self defense weapon like the defender. It could be your best self defense tool ever!

Be safe and we need all the help on our side we can get. This world isn't getting better, that is for sure...

Things you should know about women's self defense

There are some key things to consider in taking a woman’s self defense class or even a self defense class for seniors. Here are some of those things…

Knowing the natural environment is the foremost and vital womens self-defense procedure. Therefore watch out for individuals who display excessive concern in you or about you. If you're by yourself and also you find somebody taking uncommon curiosity about you, be wary. One more indicator of danger is when you discover someone watching you for abnormally long periods of time. Passes made at you more than once, or the same car which you come across over and again, close to you are warning signs of the oncoming trouble.

Males historically target women due to recognized conduct. A womens self defense course is a necessary investment for your safety. One womens self-defense workshop will unlock what sort of similar characteristics that come into play prior to an attack and by knowing this, the attack can be prevented, especially by unexpectedly assertive behavior, (which is learned) to avoid becoming the victim of an attack. Unexpected things happen to individuals in every day life. That's why you should take that what you learned in womens self-defense classes, and be sure you apply the techniques when you are attacked. Even though it has not taken place to you however, you usually want to be ready just in case it does.

Many colleges are starting to be a lot more associated with their student’s basic safety by giving sexual assault awareness lessons, women’s self-defense classes, and all around information regarding college or university crime. This is the way in which it ought to be at all schools. For hundreds of years, males have considered women of all ages, an object of want. It's all right until the ideas remain confined deep-down in the brain, but can develop plenty of complications when place in to motion. It always transposes to stalking, sexual attack, as well as rape in some scenarios. For the man it's just a clear case of satisfying his perverted desire, however it turns into a life shattering occurrence for that woman which simply leaves a lasting scar for the remainder of her life. To prevail over and steer clear of this kind of situations, you must know some fundamental concepts and aspects of womens self defense, to be able to save your self ending up in such tricky situation.

Finally, I believe that self defense classes should also consider follow on self defense weapons classes, as well. Such would be with the self defense weapon known as the defenders. You can learn more about them at http://www.pdws.biz

Top Reasons Not to Take Self-Defense

Now think of Chelsea King, the 17 year old from Poway California who was apparently murdered... might she still be with us if she had a weapon to defender herself with? Or at least a weapon that might have given her a fighting chance... A self defense weapon like a Defender 2 would be easy to carry and if she could fight, would give her a fighting chance! Here is an article I found very interesting so I wanted to share it, on this sad day. Please say a prayer for Chelsea King's family.... Thanks Peter Brusso


Top Reasons Not to Take Self-Defense: "Having become certified to teach Women's Self-Defense, I want to offer the class to as many women as possible. When I tell people what we cover in the course and how it can help them, I am often met with one of the following responses. I would like to address them here."

How to Avoid Becoming a Road Rage Victim

Now.. lets talk road rage. It can happen to anyone. In the following article you will find some great tips on road rage. One I might add is have a defender handy in your car and ready to deploy in a heart beat! Also, practice deploying your defender with one hand, and operating your car with the other. These are the two skills you might need to get out of a road rage situation. You will not always be moving in a road rage situation and that means you might be physically attacked by the other person. Keep your defender handy at all times. Now, enjoy the article....

How to Avoid Becoming a Road Rage Victim: "First, understand the importance of your driving style. If you know you are a slower driver, keep to the right lane, to avoid agitating drivers who want to speed past you. Use your turn signals, and do not cut anyone off, even if it means missing your exit."

Consider these odds

Consider these odds:

• 1 of every 39 Americans will be the victim of a violent crime THIS YEAR
• 1 of every 6 women will be raped in their life time (80% are unreported)
• 35% of adults will be a victim of a violent crime sometime in their life
• there is a 100% chance that you will experience a theft in your lifetime and an 87% chance that you will experience theft 3+ times
• 3 of every 4 households are burglarized every 20 years

Isn't it time to consider your safety? Home safety and home invasion are on topics you should really consider for yourself and your family. Take a look at the Defender line of tools (self defense weapon)... not the only thing you need but its a great start. Give yourself a fighting chance against these odds...

The Thin Veil Of Empowerment

This is a great article from a fellow Defender Instructor (self defense weapon)... worth the read

The Thin Veil Of Empowerment: "I want to talk to you today about a very sensitive issue. This happens in many dojos worldwide but i don't want to focus on that today. I want to focus on an even more serious issue. I want to focus on women's self defense. As a martial artist i don't believe there are instructors out there that want to teach something bad on purpose. I think people who say that are negative people that only want to tear things down. However i do believe their are many martial artists who are well meaning but actually do more damage than good because they don't understand the issue when it comes to women's self defense. So i want to talk to you about what a women's self defense course should be and why i believe it.

The biggest problem i see is that most of these course tend to focus on empowerment alone. Now i want to say this right off. You must have empowerment as a part of any self defense course. It doesn't do any good to have great techniques if the students will never be empowered to use them. A course without empowerment is pretty much useless. However a course with only empowerment is very dangerous and could get a student killed. The fact is learning how to punch and kick and yell loud while standing still isn't going to do any good. I've seen some of these course where they even teach wristlocks and fingerlocks for self defense. So why do I scoff at this? One need to only have a rudimentary study of human physiology to understand why.

You take a woman who has been battered and is scared and put them in one of these classes for a couple hours and show them this stuff. You think if something goes down and all they've done is stand in one spot with a compliant partner and do this slow that they won't panic when it actually happens 10 times faster than they trained? So what happen to the body when it panics? Well first of all when your heart rate gets above 115 beats per minute you lose the ability to perform fine motor skills.
What constitutes a fine motor skill? A perfect example would be a wrist lock or finger lock. Get it now? Someone teaching a woman to perform a technique she doesn't have a chance in hell of pulling off. Thats pretty dangerous to me.

The fact is this goes much deeper. Dojos today simply don't pressure test their own techniques. Pressure testing means they've tested the techniques at full speed in scenarios where things such as heart rate increase are mimicked so they know for a fact that the stuff they teach works under the conditions they are teaching. It's simply regurgitating the same thing they were taught which could have been for a completely different circumstance. Now i have black belts in 5 martial arts. Three of them are 5th dans (Midori Yama Goshin Jujutsu, Shin Shin Jujitsu, and Koga Ryu Ninjutsu respectively) This not withstanding i will make the bold statement that none of these ranks qualifies me in any way to teach women's self defense, and none of yours do either. A martial arts rank only qualifies you to teach to curriculum you learned to get your belt and thats all. Otherwise if I had a black belt in one thing it would mean i had it in everything. Women's self defense is a separate issue all together and must be treated as such.

Now when I was doing my research on this subject i tossed my martial arts out the window. I interviewed social workers, Police officers, victims, and even attackers in jail to get the info I needed. I did this because i understood it was an important issue and needed the respect it deserved. I didn't care about promoting some dojo or some art. I only cared about protecting women and put my own ego and knowledge aside to get to the truth. By understanding the real issues and how attacks go down and what leads up to them i then put together my program. I believe this is the right way to do it.

As I mentioned earlier most of these courses tend to focus on empowerment alone which can be very dangerous. If the well meaning instructor doesn't understand the issue then you could be empowered to put yourself in a situation where you should've ran. By using techniques with a low physiological success rate thats a good way to end up dead. As far as physical techniques the consensus among the experts is that target aquisition is best. Pick 5 areas on the attackers body that could be hit from anywhere. Some good high line targets would be the eyes,throat, or ears would be good. Low line targets that could be used to set up high line targets would be inside of the thighs, instep, or groin. Notice I said the low line targets were setup targets not the main targets themselves. Alot of these courses focus on the groin as a primary target. This is a HUGE mistake. Most men are hardwired to protect this target. It's one thing for them to be standing there and you whack the ol' nads and drop them. It's different when they are hopped up on drugs or adrenaline. I promise you they won't feel it like you think they will. It can turn a rape into a murder fast. It is however a good set up target to bring the head forward and maybe drops the hands to get at a highline target to by the time to make your escape. Yes i said escape. This isn't about winning a fight this is about living or dying... Get out of there!

Even with that physical knowledge it isn't enough. Because nothing is %100 percent and all life is precious. The fact is the education is much more important than the physical stuff. If your doing the physical stuff then it's because you screwed up at least 5 times and missed alot of signs to get there. Things like understanding when your being abused emotionally,cycles of violence, crime trends in your area, how violence escalates, what makes a psychopath tick. Things like this could help you never be in one of these situations. On our website (www.stonewalltactical.com) if you go to the article section you will find two links. One for pre-incident indicators and one for women's self defense support material that has clickable links for further study. This info is yours for free to begin your education that is so important.

I want to say something now to the potential instructors that could be teaching these courses. When you teach these courses you need to spread the educational material throughout don't put it all in one spot. Your going to feel pressure to make everything entertaining. Don't buckle to that. You cannot let the students dictate the content. Some will think the educational portion is boring but you need to make it clear that it IS the most important part. The students have a responsibility to understand they are there to be informed not entertained. This stuff could save a life someday and you need to make sure they know it. This is a serious issue that deserves respect and reverance. When it comes to the physical portion let them try the techniques a couple times to make sure they know how to do it, but as soon as that happens make sure the attackers in class stop being compliant. It does know good to fill someone with false empowerment. Make sure they can do the techniques and feel how the body changes during them. This will also help with the educational material and bring more focus to it when they understand this isn't easy. They need to really understand the issue not be lied to. This is why techniques need to be simple and direct because it will increase their success rate unders stress. If your going to teach then teach the truth and do it right.

In closing I want to tell you a true story about a girl i met. I'm not going to use her name because the family still lives in this area. I only met her once and learned of all this later down the road years later. A friend of mine was dating her and had been doing so for a couple months. She was separated from her husband going through a very ugly divorce. She was deathly afraid for her life because she felt he was dangerous. She always had someone staying with her in case he came by. She once made the statement to my friend that if he kills me promise me you'll hold my hand. He of course promised he would. One night she heard something outside and thought it was him so she called a friend to come over and he did but saw nothing. He did agree to stay on the couch. No none is exactly sure how it went down but the guy on the couch was found shot in the back of the head in the front yard and she was shot to death in her bed. The husband is now in prison serving a life sentence. When my friend got there the body hadn't been moved yet. He asked if he could hold her hand. He was told he couldn't because her hands hand been blown off when she went to cover her head in fear. This is a sad story but it's completely true. This is how these things happen. All the empowerment in the world would have never saved this girl's life. Education however, might have made a difference. There was help out there. Alot of women's shelters in our area keep their location hidden from the public. She could've been safe there. At least til things blew over. The police weren't told either they could've got more involved, but no one was told and she never knew she could've done it. Empowerment is a thin veil that is nothing without education. You put them together however and you may have something special. So please respect this issue and do the work. Life is beautiful and precious and this has to be done right. I hope if your an instructor that you won't be offended by this but instead use it as a call to action to make a change. A real change for a real solution that could help someone special. Because everyone has somebody that loves them and will miss them when they are gone. So together lets make a difference to insure when someone reaches out that there's a hand there to hold them. thank you

Sexual Assault Suspect Arrested

This is a perfect case of the four rules of attack! After you read this blog post head over to http://www.anjingbanfa.com/The_four_rules_of_a_violent_attack.html and read the rules for a violent attack... this blog post follows them to a tee! Also, if this woman had a defender (self defense weapon) thing would be different! One thing to note, which I have not written about is that during an assault try to take as much data in about the attacker as possible.


Sexual Assault Suspect Arrested: "

Los Angeles: Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detectives announce the arrest of a sexual assault suspect 28-year-old Salvador Jesse Solis of Los Angeles.

On October 15, 2009, at around 12:30 p.m., a female victim was walking southbound on Soto Street from Alcazar Street when Solis walked alongside the victim and attempted to engage her in a conversation. The victim told Solis to leave her alone, but he continued following her until they arrived in front of Hazard Park. He then pulled the victim into the park’s female restroom and sexually assaulted her. After the alleged assault, Solis ran from the restroom and the victim ran from the park. The victim called police via her cell phone and police officers located her at Fairmont Street and Soto Street.

The victim provided a description of the suspect-Solis and a crime broadcast was issued over the radio frequency. The suspect was described as a male Hispanic with a ‘Nike swoosh’ symbol tattooed on the right side of his head. Police officers located and arrested the suspect at Huntington Drive South and Fithian Avenue. The suspect was identified as 28-year old Salvador Jesse Solis.

During the investigation, Detectives learned of a previously reported attempted sexual assault of a female victim at 5150 Huntington Drive, at about 10:00 a.m. and the suspect’s description was similar to Solis’ appearance. A witness positively identified Solis as the person responsible for the attempted sexual assault at 5150 Huntington Drive.

On October 15, 2009 at 1:35 p.m., Solis was arrested and booked at the Parker Center Jail for Rape. Solis is being held on $100,000.00 bail.

Detectives also believe Solis may be responsible for additional assaults on other female victims in the area of Huntington Drive South and Soto Street. Solis has a distinctive Nike swoosh symbol tattooed on the right side of his head.

Anyone with information about this crime or similar assaults by Solis is asked to call Hollenbeck Detective Division Sex Crimes Detail at 323-342-8992. During off-hours, calls may be directed to a 24-hour, toll-free number at 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (527-3247). Callers may also text “Crimes” with a cell phone or log on to www.lapdonline.org and click on Web tips. When using a cell phone, all messages should begin with “LAPD.” Tipsters may remain anonymous.

Dallas police: Man gave woman ride near Fair Park, then raped her

What was this woman thinking? If you have to do this... arm yourself! The driver doesn't have to see anything until he plays his hand out... then its your turn... Self Defense Weapons....

Dallas police: Man gave woman ride near Fair Park, then raped her: "

Police say the woman was walking in the rain soon after dark Saturday night along Grand Avenue near Fair Park. A man offered her a ride. She accepted, presumably unaware that he had done prison time for, among other things, a 1991 conviction for aggravated sexual assault.

Police say the man was 44-year-old Gernard Gordell Chapple, and that he drove past the direction of the woman's home. When she asked him where they were going, he said 'That's what b----es like you get,' according to a police report.

"I knew it was him," rape victim says of man since cleared of 1985 Richardson rape

A good case to collect DNA samples during an attack.... keeps everyone from being a victim... and puts the right person in jail!


"I knew it was him," rape victim says of man since cleared of 1985 Richardson rape: "

Looking at photo No. 2, she knew Thomas McGowan was the man who had beaten, raped and held her at knifepoint in her Richardson home.

Jurors believed her, sentencing him to two life sentences in separate trials for the 1985 rape and burglary. The judge ordered the sentences to be served consecutively.

More than twenty years later, DNA testing proved McGowan didn't do it.

'For 23 years, Thomas McGowan was the monster in my mind,' said the victim, speaking publicly Tuesday for the first time about the events surrounding the case. 'I am truly sorry that he spent 23 years in jail for something he didn't do.'

The victim, along with the McGowan, and Richardson Assistant Chief Mike Corley, the investigator on the original case, all spoke during a panel today on wrongful convictions at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Convention in Denver.

--Tanya Eiserer/Reporter"

Women... beware, bad people come in all sizes and shapes

Being skeptical isn't altogether a bad thing, read this story and see that even a father figure can be a deadly item. Sad but true, it's horrible to see things like this happen; however, possibly of this woman had some type of self-defense weapon she might not have become a statistic. It's something to think about.

The Top Ten Most Popular Self Defense Products

This is good background, and I say that somewhat tongue-in-cheek because this person didn't know about the self-defense weapon, but downstream I'm going to be producing some articles that discuss the various natures of different types of weapons and their particular use. A well thought out self-defense strategy needs to include various weapons as well as good empty-handed techniques. This particular article is a good overall article to understand what types of self-defense weapons are available to the public. Make sure and visit http://www.selfdefenseweaponsite.com for other more powerful weapons and options.

The Top Ten Most Popular Self Defense Products: "Self defense products have become a first line of defense for men women and kids throughout the world because they work. Here are my top ten most popular self defense products from my experience. See how they might help you defend yourself."

Crime Clock of Index Crimes in Texas

I read this article and I wondered what the crime Index or crime clock might look like in other states? However, what's shocking is about three quarters of the way down the article you get a chance to see what the crime rates are in Texas. Rape every hour? That's a shocking number and something that I find totally appalling when we have options to not be a victim. Take control of your physical well-being and learn self-defense and to carry self-defense weapons such it you're not one of these statistics. Make sure that when you take a martial arts or women's self-defense class that you ask your instructor about carrying self-defense weapons.

Crime Clock of Index Crimes in Texas: "What is an index crime and how often do they take place in Texas? In this article I will identify what index crimes are and how often they take place in Texas. The statistics are really going to blow your mind and give you some perspective on the importance of personal security and self defense."
