Bobby was a State Wrestling Champ, and Deborah was his friend. After the water balloon fight in the hot park he said, \u201cHey Deb why don\u2019t you show me some of that Jiujitsu stuff? Deborah was 110 lb. dripping wet and declined. At that, all of their friends started egging her on, but to no avail. All at once Bobby tackled her playfully in a very over exaggerated, theatrical motion. What happened next surprised the little cheering crowd of onlookers.

To be fair Bobby\u2019s tackle was gentle, however Deborah\u2019s response wasn\u2019t. On her back was a familiar place to be in this situation, and as Bobby landed, she wrapped her legs around his waist to stop his advance, and then around his arm, LEVERAGING her strongest assist, her lower body strength, against the ground. Deborah then LEVERAGED the planet by pushing up, engaging her hips, and straining her attacker\u2019s elbow joint.

Within 5 seconds Bobby was tapping, \u201cOkay, you got me, ouch\u2026\u201d Deborah playfully let go, and pushed him off with her legs, and laughed. As Bobby lay back, in the wet grass, he began rubbing his elbow. Standing, and brushing the grass from her jeans Deborah had a smile that said it all, \u201cDon\u2019t mess with me.\u201d

The LEVERAGE we use in self-defense is powerful and life saving. In Deborah\u2019s case her LEVERAGE was literally the planet. Our lives are the same. When we are on our backs, in the fight for our lives, in relationship conflict, business conflict, or even conflict with a teen gone suddenly off track, we have LEVERAGE all around us that we can use to save life. That life saved might be ours, our business, or our precious child\u2019s.

LEVERAGE is how we accomplish greater things than we can ever imagine. LEVERAGE powerfully, and save life!
