The woman walked up boldly to Mary in an attempt to intimidate the young mother of 3 after the community meeting. She stepped rapidly toward her with raised hands, gesturing in a threatening manner, and ear pricing screams to match. Mary had been willing to discuss, debate and listen to what she had to say inside, even after she was shouted down on the steps of her own city hall on the way out. Suddenly she was a little surprised by all the strange faces that were out on the streets of her town tonight.

Mary\u2019s 3 little girls were at home with their father, and she was thankful for that. Mary was also thankful for her Hapkido/self-defense classes and really wasn\u2019t intimidated by this strange woman\u2019s shout downs, wild accusations and threats.

All at once the woman\u2019s arms went wide, and her head dropped low as she rushed the final few steps toward her target. Mary had never turned her back, and saw the attack coming from small visual clues the larger woman had given seconds before the attack was initiated.

As initial contact was made, intent on driving Mary to the lawn, she embraced her attacker\u2019s head and arm and DIVERTED all the woman\u2019s forward tackling motion by turning in a half circle, with her attacker\u2019s head and arm in tow, at the last moment to face the exact direction this strangely aggressive woman was facing. All at once she saw what her attacker saw, and what was directly behind her only seconds before. More strangers, and angry signs. They had been slowly closing in and were now stepping back as the larger woman\u2019s body hit city hall\u2019s lawn with a dull thud, silencing the threats immediately as her attacker gasped for air.

The small crowd of strangers seemed confused and angry all at the same time. Suddenly it all made sense. Her attacker\u2019s emboldened actions were part of a larger group of strangers and their agenda. Her attention in fact had been DIVERTED, and Mary hadn\u2019t seen this attack as part of the larger group and their agenda...

...In our LIFE DEFENSE scenario Mary had indeed DIVERTED the tackle of her attacker. However, if she hadn\u2019t turned fully in the direction of her attacker\u2019s vision, she wouldn\u2019t have seen the DIVERSION being created directly in her blind spot, or recognized the larger DIVERSION that was happening right in her own little town.

In this scenario DIVERTING an attacker requires \u201cshared vision.\u201d Until Mary turned and \u201cshared vision\u201d with her attacker she truly didn\u2019t see.

To DIVERT energy, self- defense experts turn fully, engaging their whole being, mind body and energy to \u201csee what their attacker\u2019s see!\u201d This simple concept is where the positioning for powerful throws actually happen.

What are you missing by not \u201csharing vision,\u201d even with people, or persons you identify as opponents? The buzz word, \u201cshared-vision\u201d is used a lot in business, teams and partnerships. However, sharing an attacker, or opponents vision requires looking to really see what they see, and then see DIVERSIONS as what they are. DIVERSIONS.

Look for \u201cshared vision,\u201d from teams you trust, and people you don\u2019t trust. It is only then that you will truly \u201cshare vision,\u201d and if you must, DIVERT any and all harm from your life. DIVERT, is a shared vision. DIVERT!
