EXPAND, and Take Control of Your Life!
\nIn the world of self-defense we use the PRINCIPLE of EXPAND when holding someone down in a MOUNT position. We like to reference a \u201cdrunk uncle\u201d showing up at your daughter\u2019s wedding reception and knocking over the punch bowl, insulting the guests and maybe taking a swing at the best man.
\nAlthough most likely not a tremendous threat, he might appear greatly menacing to your friends, neighbors, and Aunt Martha, and could actually hurt himself or others in his altered state. Consequently, perhaps you struggle with him, taking him to the ground and end up holding him, while calling for assistance.
\nAs he turns this way and that in an attempt to overturn you, and once again gain access to the wedding party, you EXPAND arms and legs out on either side and whisper something like, \u201cWhoa big fella, I got you, just settle down, it\u2019s okay\u2026\u201d
\nIn the world of Life Defense true, powerful control of your life might call for EXPANSION. In place of legs and arms \u201cposting\u201d from side to side,\u201d EXPANSION of relationships, skills and coaching might be called for.
\nAfter all, there is a direct correlation between success, failure and coaching. In fact in the world of success, a common theme or mantra might sound something like, \u201cEvery top performer has a coach, mentor or life-improvement program going on at any given time. So invest in yourself. \u201c In fact the more successful one is the more likely it is that they had help getting there.
\nEXPANDING in the context of Life Defense then is essential. Reach out and take control of life. Your life. EXPAND.
