Rethinking Self-Defense: The True Meaning of Being Your Own Bodyguard
THE REAL COST OF VIOLENCE IS WHAT IT COSTS YOU!
A real assault, even an unsuccessful one, leaves a permanent mark on your psyche, spirit, and life...
It affects how you think and act from that moment on.
No matter your spiritual, psychological, or material wealth, neither you, your family, nor your business can afford to be victims of violence.
So what can we do to protect ourselves, family, and community?
Take Control of Your Safety: Be Your Own Bodyguard®
I created the BE YOUR OWN BODYGUARD® (BYOB) program in 1988 during my inaugural Cerebral Self-Defense seminar.
Around the same time, in a feature in INSIDE KARATE, I wrote:
“There are more people who successfully defend themselves with no training whatsoever than there are trained people who get attacked and then successfully defend themselves!”
What does this mean?
It means untrained people CAN fight back and win/survive!
How?
Because we are already hard-wired for personal defense.
Our survival system has an intuitive radar that alerts you to danger….
Our body’s prep for trauma & impact and our mind can supercharge us to do amazing things.
My research and the evidence showed that spontaneous responses to danger, fueled by indignation and a personal directive, almost always worked in the defender’s favor.
SUCCESS ALWAYS LEAVES A CLUE.
The common thread in all successful ‘personal defense’ encounters is a determined mindset.
It wasn't a secret martial technique.
It was the power of will fueled by indignation.
Those who manage their fear, manage to fight.
READ THAT AGAIN: It wasn't a technique; it was the power of will fueled by indignation.
Those who know me understand I’ve been on this path since 1977 when I taught my first private self-defense lesson.
This is the focus of my life’s work.
My commitment to making YOU safe compelled me to develop a program that transcends gender, age, size, or occupation and ultimately led to the creation of the KNOW FEAR® program.
