Survival Facts From Dr. Ruthless - A Lady With A Kickass Attitude
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
When you read information about women who have made self-defense initiatives for women their life’s work, it is inspiring to realize that there are options for women to stay safe (and stay alive) when confronted by an attacker. When you know how to fight and defend yourself against a predator, you no longer have to live in fear!
Dr. Ruthless (Melissa Soat), self-defense/black belt expert, teaches self-defense and speaks to audiences of women and men about overall self-defense techniques, awareness strategies, and how learning these skills can give you a tremendous sense of empowerment and self-confidence. I have seen Dr. Ruthless’ self-defense videos and she is one "tough" fighter. If all options are exhausted and you must fight for your life - fight back with explosive power and find that "ballistic" alter ego inside that refuses to become a victim of some predator’s assault, attack, or worse..murder.

Safety Tips For Staying Alive in Parking Garages & Mall Lots! (Part 2)
Safety Tips for Staying Alive in Public Parking Garages-Mall Parking Lots
For violent crimes, parking garages and lots are ranked second after crimes committed on residential property. Specifically, in parking garages, dim lighting combined with several parked vehicles make it easy for criminals to hide.
As you are walking to your car in a public parking garage, remember where you parked your car. Keep the parking level information handy to make it easy to find your car. As you approach your car be aware of others who may be lingering nearby. This is a perfect time for a criminal predator to be waiting for an unconscious victim as she walks to her car while looking in her purse for car keys, talking on a cell phone, or juggling packages totally unaware of what is going on around her.

Your Personal Safety Weapons - Tip of the Week
Are you knowledgeable in martial arts training? Have you taken any type of self-defense class? Has your business or company provided you with security and safety awareness training? Chances are that not many of you have had any self-defense type training.
The following video is our Tip of the Week talking about "Your Personal Safety Weapons." For someone with no defensive training or education, this video will show you that you already possess personal safety weapons right on your body. You just need to know how and when to use them.
As always, my recommendation would be to take a self-defense class in your community to learn how to defend and protect yourself in an attack situation. These classes are usually 4-6 weeks and 1-3 hours a class. This is a short timeframe when you consider how effective this training could be to you - if you had to use it!
Remember, Stay Aware…Stay Alert…Stay Alive!

I’ve talked about "self-defense and safety tips to know" before, but saying it once is not always enough. Sometimes we must have certain things drilled into our head because we are so busy with life in general - work, kids, work, activities, work, meetings, work, luncheons - that our own personal security and safety becomes less of a concern. When you feel safe like nothing bad is going to happen to you - complacency begins to creep in.
The moment you totally let your guard down that is when some type of physical attack, assault, robbery, home intrusion, or carjacking may happen to you. Why me you ask? Because you must have given the attacker the impression you weren’t aware of what was going on around you or you appeared too complacent. In any event, the predator/attacker is looking for an easy target - one exactly like I just described to physically attack and take advantage of.
Making security and safety a priority has to become a habit. Just try it for 30 days and you will see it become a natural part of your daily habit. If you live in cities considered high risk or listed as one of the top 20 worst crime cities to live in, you definately need self-defense and safety tips to know and stay safe. Make your security and safety a priority today! Read more
Keeping Her Wits About Her and Awareness Saved Her Life! (Part I)
It was August of last year that Cidney Smith, IUPUI student, and a friend of my son was carjacked and kidnapped outside an upscale mall parking lot in Indianapolis. Luckily, Cidney kept her wits about her and was able to ultimately escape before her kidnapper could do any major harm to her.
One thing Cidney said that actually helped her know what to do to save her life was something she had seen on an Oprah show. There was a self-defense security expert and victims of crime on the show discussing what to do if you are attacked, assaulted, or kidnapped. She remembered some of the things the expert and victims had said to do and she did them.
What a brave young lady. Most women without any knowledge of what to do in a situation like this would tend to give up or do something to cause the attacker or kidnapper to do grave harm to them.
Here is an excerpt of the events that happened to Cidney on that horrible day in Indianapolis. It is my belief that self-defense, safety awareness, and knowledge of how to protect yourself if attacked or assaulted can ultimately save your life as it did for Cidney. Read more
Gutzy Self-Defense For Women-The Ultimate Palm Strike
Checkout Dr. Ruthless’ website @ www.dr-ruthless.com
This woman has definately got the self-defense moves, the self-defense techniques, and the gutziness to make me want to learn what she knows so I can add it to my safety plan of action. I never want to be a victim of crime. To be one step ahead of a predator, I want to know if attacked that I have the confidence, the fortitude, the know-how and the flat out strength and power to fight back with everything I have to survive!
When you think about it, why should some dirt-bag predator determine that your life is worth nothing and he has the right to take it from you…and your family. Just the thought of that scenario should make women angry as all get out!!
Watch the self-defense palm strike moves in the video and learn them. If attacked, this could be one of the ultimate weapons you effectively use to get away to safety.
Look at taking a good self-defense class - you know I highly recommend the RAD Self-Defense class.
Remember, Stay Aware…Stay Alert…Stay Alive!
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
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
