There simply is no denying it!  We are a violent species.  We also are caring, compassionate, tender, loving and so much more.  Still deep down at our core the human species is a predatory species.  Our eyes are set together and forward so that we can see our prey and focus on it.  Just like a cheetah’s, lion, wolf, etc.  Prey animals in general have their eyes on the side so that they can keep a sharp lookout. (there are of course some excepetions to this)  Societies rules of behavior or laws and their upbringing keep people in check.  This is important to note.  However, every now and then someone goes outside the law and we in turn need to be prepared to protect ourselves and our loved ones if we are to survive.

     So what to do?  How to prepare?  Where to start?  Well first off you need to be aware that their is a need for you to be prepared.  Once that is accomplish then there are many outlets to get prepared.

Here are some general guidelines:

1)  Be aware of your surroundings and train yourself to notice details.

2)  Have a mindset that you can and will defend yourself and your    loved ones.  

3)  Understand that you will need to train and constantly perfect your skills.

4)  We humans as a whole use tools so work tool usage into your personal defense system.

5)  Have a never give up attitude!

     These are just some basic skill sets that might help you out.  Now when you make that switch to get ready and learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones then it is also time to find a teacher that can show you the way!  Find a teacher whose method works well for you and check out several before you make a commitment!  It is easier than ever to do this because you can look online as well as in person and see what and how different instructors teach.

     There are predators out there who will go outside the law and societies norms.  You do not have to be unprepared for the event if one of them ever attacks you!  Instead Prepare, Train and in the moment you will have a chance!  What more can you ask!

We regularly conduct intensive training for people men and women who are interested in protecting themselves.  Here is just one article: http://www.alma.edu/academics/departments/humanities/womens_studies/MacCurdy_house/events_0607/irtx06
