It's So Close It's Scary!

 


It’s getting closer!

The anticipation grows…

The dark, foreboding day when all of the ogglie boogilies come out… And we Trick or Treated.

You know…

Election Day! =)

(Hahaha! Don’t be afraid, get out there and cast your vote confidently, like Hermione casts her spells…)

Many Walk in Fear

That’s why…

"WE TRAIN SO WE CAN WALK IN PEACE..."

~Imi Lichtenfeld 

Conflict & violence is an Event and a Process. The more you can recognize the process, the easier it is to avoid & navigate an Event!

Yes, there are places and situations where crime, conflict and violence are more prevalent, but make no mistake... It can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. It can happen to you too, so you have to be prepared.

Awareanoid?!

Being paranoid is no way to Live.

However…

AWAREANOID is a constant state of readiness.

It’s North of aware and South of paranoid. =)

Don’t over think it…

It’s simply being curious and prepared to do something about it.

If you want to be able to avoid a situation or have more confidence that you can handle yourself, you have to have a plan!

Pay attention! Be aware of your surroundings and the people in them.

Stay alert! Keep your head up, look around and stand tall. Don’t have your head buried in your phone or your earbuds, don’t look lost, distracted or like a push-over. Remember, the baddies are looking for folks who look vulnerable, the ones they can control or overwhelm. So, you don’t want to look like the easiest mark out there.

Know the risks…

Risk Continuum

  • Acknowledge that there is risk out there.

  • Identify the risk.

  • Assess the risk – Everyone will assess risk differently depending on their own risk tolerance.

  • Manage the risk for yourself and your Life.

The Day After…

After the trick or treating, the costumes and candy… When all of the Jack-o-lanterns have gone out (or been smashed)… When the goblins and ghoulies have gone to bed and All Hallows Eve is but a memory until next year, remember that…

Walking in Peace means having confidence that you can handle the conflicts inside of you and around you. From the small things that annoy you, to the big battles that threaten more than just hurt feelings, learning how to protect yourself is more than just punching and kicking.

Making Waves

  Well, that last blog really made some waves and rattled cages. Several phone calls, emails, and I see that my unsubscribes were almost triple what they typically are. Sign of the Times!? I didn’t mean for folks to get all freaked out, it’s really just a public service announcement. A tough conversation that needs to be brought up now and now again to check in make sure we’re all on the same page. Open the door for some good (yet awkward) discussions for everyone. I have a similar conversation about cleanliness so you don’t stink during training. You know, take a bath and wash your gear, come to class w/clean clothes, so you don’t smell of B.O. when you’re rolling around with someone in class. Now those academy members who called me were just curious if there was something going on. Don’t worry, it’s just a precautionary measure to open further discussions if necessary. It’s Interesting… I know, tough conversations are… Well… Tough! And these days they are happening less and less ...

Ebb & Flow

Image
  Your training and life has an ebb and flow to it. There are times of exertion and times of recovery. Times of activity and times of rest. For instance, at our local Krav academy, we just got finished with a testing rotation. Testing rotations are a couple months of longer, harder training for all of us at the academy. It can get pretty intense for folks. At the end of the training period we have a big 4ish hour test. A gauntlet really that everyone goes through. Afterward we chill things out again. Our training slows down and eases up. We go from exerting a lot of effort. Working on a lot of gross motor skill drills. Lots of PT and higher intensity training. However, most folks, myself included, can’t safely or comfortably keep up that pace. It’s not sustainable. You have to… Chill Out for a While… Your training has seasons to it. You have to learn to ebb and flow. Learning different things at different times. Your life’s that way too. There are times of exertion and times to rec...
