Deadly 911 Operator Error - Take Charge Of Your Self-Defense And Personal Security
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
The word is DON’T totally rely upon others for your personal safety. You must take charge of your self-defense, your personal security, and your protection. It’s your responsibility so make sure you fight to live another day - for yourself and for your family.
The links below are of an audio/transcript of a crime victim, Olidia Kerr Day, who was calling a 911 dispatch operator to send a police officer to help her. She was being violently pursued by a crazed stalker. She must have known he was going to murder her.

This audio is a horrible reminder that there are MANY 911 operators who are totally incompetent. Don’t put your life completely in their hands and expect that the police will arrive and be able to save you from a violent crime. You should be proactive in your own personal safety and learn what options you have to protect and save your life. You don’t want to end up like Olidia Kerr Day!

Are you are in a relationship of domestic violence? If so, seek help from the local authorities or domestic violence organizations. Take charge of your self-defense and personal protection by becoming educated, both physically and mentally, on how to protect and defend yourself.
By taking some type of self-defense training, you will gain the self-confidence and self-empowerment to know what to do in a dangerous assault situation. Remember to continually practice your self-defense techniques so they remain fresh over time. The RAD Self-Defense training offers former students refresher training anytime at no addtional cost.
If your attacker is truly a crazed, violent person, you may have to resort to carrying some kind of personal protection for the safety of yourself and your family. Many women carry non-lethal protection such as a stun gun, advanced Taser, a Taser C2, or pepper spray. Read more
Self-Defense-Defending Against A Sucker Punch Attack
Being aware not only of your surroundings but the people around you is so important. Michael Pace is a self-defense expert who does an outstanding job of providing self-defense instruction videos for women…and men. One of the self-defense tips he gives is about the sucker punch. He says when a perpetrator is about to throw a sucker punch there are some signs that the punch is about to come your way. If you are observant and knowledgeable, you may be able to block the punch and give the attacker an element of surprise. And that surprise is being able to defensively fight back enough to disable the attacker and get away to safety.
If you are in an aggressive confrontation with someone, be sure to watch and see if their right (or left) shoulder drops back slightly. This could be a clear signal that they are getting ready to throw a sucker punch. If you are observant, this may give you enough time to prepare and defend against the incoming punch by throwing your left (or right) arm up to meet the punch. Then you can go into action to quickly defend yourself.
Knowing what to look for and how to react is part of "being prepared." Michael Pace has some excellent self-defense training DVD’s for women. Checkout his website at www.womens-self-defense.com for more information.

Be Prepared, Be Ready, And Know How To Fight For Your Life
If You Come Face To Face With An Evil, Violent Predator - Be Prepared To Fight For Your Life!
Back in the old days women were told if faced with a confrontation, physical attack, or sexual assault from a male prepetrator – don’t fight back you’ll only inflame the guy and that will make him madder and meaner. You were told to try and reason with the attacker – try to negotiate your way out of being raped or brutally beaten up - unfortunately many women were still violently murdered.

Realtor Fights Off Attacker In House - South Bend, IN
This past weekend there was an incident where a realtor (female) was attacked by her prospect. As I have written about on many occasions - it doesn’t matter that you live in a small community like South Bend, Indiana where crime may not be as prevalent as in the larger cities - but crime still happens! And these criminals are looking for the avenue of least resistance. Realtors are considered a high risk profession and they need to do everything they can to ensure that their personal safety is one of their highest priorities.
That means ensuring you have a Safety Plan that includes taking self-defense training to learn simple, yet effective defensive techniques and tactics that will enable you to protect and defend yourself against an attacker. Also, take a personal safety awareness class that reviews and reiterates many realtor safety guidelines that are designed to promote everyday awareness to keep you safe. Read more
Simulation Night For Our RAD Self-Defense Class
Tonight - Tuesday, 3-25-08 - was the last of our RAD Self-Defense class held at the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department in Elkhart, Indiana. (Although I was able to videotape some of the ladies in class, I forgot that we are not able to put the videos on youtube or our website). The last night is known as "simulation". This is where you have scenario-type situations set up in which you will be attacked by a perpetrator. The ladies in this class seemed pretty excited about our last night…maybe even a little apprehensive because we were all unsure of exactly what would happen and how we would respond using the self-defense techniques we learned over the last (3) weeks.

Prevent A Crime By Having A Safety Plan In Place - Part II
By Susan Bartelstone, Crime Prevention and Personal Safety Specialist
Making a Safety Plan. Perhaps the most important component is #4—coming up with a plan of action quickly. But, how can you be sure you’ll be able to think of response options if you’re terrified? And, in 20 seconds, no less?
The best way to be mentally prepared for a criminal encounter is by having a Safety Plan in place beforehand. Start your own process off by doing the Safety Plan Exercise below:
1. Identify at least five potential safety problems or dangerous situations in your personal life or daily routine that cause you concern.
2. Do some research: collect safety tip pamphlets; read personal safety and self defense books; watch videos. Also study books on defusing confrontations and maybe take a self defense course or three. *
3. Then formulate a plan of action for each of the problems you’ve identified that details everything you could do and say in that instance. The more options you’re familiar with, the quicker you’ll be able to come up with a safe response should something happen.
4. Write down your Safety Plans on your computer or in a notebook and rehearse them periodically so they become internalized (component #5 of the 20- Second Response). That way your response to any anticipated danger will be automatic and speedy. 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!
Realtor Personal Safety Awareness Program
The following video gives excellent safety tips for realtors. Many of the safety tips will seem pretty obvious. But we all can become a little complacent - especially with our home and personal security. Just when we let our guard down the unexpected happens. That’s why it is a good idea to review personal safety habits that should be a part of our life… and could help save our life in dangerous situations.
On Wednesday my business associate from ADT Security and I will be giving a Realtor Personal & Home Security Safety Awareness Program to one of the largest Century 21 offices in Northern Indiana. Our program provides targeted personal safety and home security strategies that each agent can use on a daily basis. We believe that personal security starts in the home. Therefore, your home must be a safe haven whether you or family members are home or away.
Experts agree that the single most important step towards ensuring an individual’s total personal security is to make the decision to refuse to be a victim. That means you must have an overall personal safety plan or strategy in place before you need it and be able to aggressively defend yourself if attacked.
Our goal is to provide a program of personal safety and security, self-awareness, and empowerment that will enable real estate agents to protect themselves and not become a victim of an attack by a perpetrator, an unruly prospect, or customer.
We all need to make personal safety and security a proactive habit 24/7. We can then ensure we’re one step ahead of a predator who preys on defenseless women.
Remember, Stay Aware…Stay Alert…Stay Alive!
Self-Defense With An Attitude: Don’t Mess With Dr. Ruthless!

Dr. Ruthless, Self-Defense/Black Belt Expert
You need to watch this video of self-defense/black belt instructor Dr. Ruthless. She definitely has an attitude that says, “I will not become a victim of your crime today, Buddy.” And she looks like she can beat the crap out of guys twice her size.
Melissa Soalt aka Dr. Ruthless has developed self-defense techniques and tactics that when used appropriately will absolutely surprise a male attacker and send HIM running in another direction. It’s all in how you carry yourself, your mental attitude, your mental toughness, and what you have learned from your self-defense training that will give you the confidence to fight off an attacker.
You need to find your inner strength. If you have taken a self-defense course or purchased self-defense videos/DVDs, you should practice…practice…practice the techniques you have learned. After your self-defense class is completed and over, you will want to occasionally visualize in your mind the techniques you learned and how they would apply to specific types of attacks. It is a good idea to have a basic self-defense training video on-hand, similar to ones listed on my site, that you can refer to from time to time. Read more
