Self-Defense Awareness, Training, And Being Mentally Prepared
Over the weekend I attended an NRA Refuse To Be A Victim Class in upper Michigan. This is a program that I am getting certified to train others in - so I wanted to see exactly how the program was structured. It is primarily designed to provide safety awareness in about 7-8 areas of our daily lives that can keep us safe and ulimately help save our lives. A big part of the program discussed self-defense and personal security.
Many of the areas that were covered are areas we all know about but because we are so busy with our "everyday life" we tend to become complacent about our personal security and forget. Safety awareness reminders are good for all of us. If we learn one good concept from a training program like this, it will definitely be worth the time and investment we put into it.
People say you shouldn’t become paranoid about your personal security and start to question every action by another person. I totally agree that we should not become paranoid, but that we should develop an acute awareness of what’s going on around us at all times. Almost like a silent "watchdog" who sees and knows everything. Read more
Realtor Safety At Open Houses - Tips And Safety Warnings
Next Wednesday I will be talking with a group of realtors about "Realtor Security and Safety Awareness." We will cover personal safety and self-defense techniques, personal protection products and how and when to use them, and home security issues and concerns. Personal security begins at home so it’s important that we cover good home security tactics.
Over the next week I will be posting about realtor safety concerns as well as the self-defense class I am currently taking (RAD Self-Defense).

RAINN-Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network
AWARENESS AND EDUCATION. The public needs to be educated about sexual violence. Women of all ages need to take charge of their personal protection and security through self-defense awareness programs and personal protection options. They need to become empowered with the knowledge and confidence of how to defend themselves in any violent situation. The violence against women needs to stop! And one of the first steps is being armed with the tools that will make you mentally stronger than the predator who picks on women and young girls.
This video portrays the Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network (RAINN) organization. Their statistics indicate that every 2.5 minutes another American is sexually assaulted, 44% of sexual assault victims are under 18 while 80% are under 30 and 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men in America have been sexually assaulted. They need our help. Please watch this video.
Through A Rapist’s Eyes
This is an article from iKickback.com, but it has surfaced on many emails and blog sites, so I’m not sure who the final credit goes to. It is definitely important information for females of ALL ages.
A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1. The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2. The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women whose clothing can be quickly and easily removed. Many said they carried scissors specifically to cut clothing.
3. They also look for women on their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4. Men are most likely to attack and rape in the early morning between 5:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Read more
