Jerri looked at her opponent\u2019s intent as he all at once drove straight for a hard tackle after she\u2019d made a less than polite response to his rude comment. Jerri had a couple of older brothers of her own and both were wrestlers so she\u2019d seen it coming. As the much larger boy dropped his level Jerri carefully timed his tackle and fell her full body weight on his advancing head and mid back.\nHer graceful DISSIPATION to all his speed and power sent him face first into the grass between them. Thunk! By the time her aggressor had shaken off the stunning blow and he\u2019d spat out the grass lodged in his teeth Jerri was on to the next class no worse for the wear.\nThis is what DISSIPATION looks like in self defense. DISSIPATION happens subtly in conversation as well when someone aggressively states an opinion and the receiver chooses to DISSIPATE through humor, silence or changing the subject. Just like in self defense the response is everything.\nDISSIPATION lessens the energy and allows it to \u201cgo to ground.\u201d No energy is added and in fact any effort to increase response is DISSIPATED to zero.\nSuch an effective way to deal with a headlong attack\u2026So powerful!\nWhat will you DISSIPATE today?
