Defend Yourself!

Published: April 6, 2015, 11 a.m.

Now things are starting to get REAL serious with me because the topic of this LifeFight segment is self-defense. The reason that this is more serious is because now I am speaking in regards to you defending your life and/or the life of someone that you care for. And as drastic and imperative a topic as this sounds in this letter, most today pay it little attention. Self-defense is something that you may or may never have to use in your life. However, it must be understood that if you do ever have to use it, your life may depend on it. Thus, it is probably a good idea to be very well trained in defending yourself. Self-defense isn’t as difficult or life altering as most think. Excuses are mustered up every day to avoid the task of finding a good self-defense instructor and attending his or her facility for a day of life saving lessons. Sometimes these lessons will take less time and money that it takes to shop for a pair of shoes. The most powerful element of self-defense is awareness. Basic awareness can eliminate your chance of being attacked to 1%. Attacks are planned in certain areas and executed upon certain types of people. This “Defend Yourself!” segment of LifeFight will verse you with the knowledge to predict when someone is planning to make a move on you! Believe it or not there is something that many fear in regards to self-defense over the attacker! That fear is of THE LAW! Numerous innocent people are confused on when they can legally defend themselves! Are you confused on this too? This can be a difficult thought when fear begins to creep under our skin because fear can convince us to respond before we should and/or to overreact when we response. I go in depth with an explanation on when it is appropriate for you to turn it on and issue an old school John Wayne on a perp! Self-defense doesn’t always mean that you have to develop the fighting skills of an MMA, Boxing or Kickboxing great. Some of the best self-defense lies within self-defense tools like, Pepper Spray, Kubatons, Batons, and even firearms. However, there still has to be proper mental training to use a defense too properly. You’d actually be surprised at which self-defense tool is my favorite. It’s one that I have used repeatedly during bodyguard and security situations on some of the toughest gangbangers and bikers on the planet! Be sure to find some time to listen to ‘Defend Yourself” so you can put yourself and your loved one’s a step ahead of those who are out there waiting to make you a victim. Because your protection lies within what you know to Defend Yourself. Sincerely, Jermaine Andre’ Life Fight - Show 003 - Self Defending
