Author unknown….TRUTH 💯

Those who fight monsters inevitably change. Because of all that they see and do, they lose their innocence, and a piece of their humanity with it. If they want to survive, they begin to adopt some of the same characteristics as the monsters they fight. It is necessary. They become capable of rage, and extreme violence.

There is a fundamental difference, however. They keep those monster tendencies locked away in a cage, deep inside. That monster is only allowed out to protect others, to accomplish the mission, to get the job done.....Not for the perverse pleasure that the monsters feel when they harm others. In fact, those monster tendencies cause damage...GUILT, ISOLATION, DEPRESSION, PTSD. There is a cost for visiting violence on others when you are not a monster. Those who do so know one thing...The cost inflicted upon society as a whole is far greater without those who fight monsters. That is why they are willing to make that horrible sacrifice so that others may live peaceably.

Elbows and knees are fabulous defensive weapons. If the assailant suddenly closes distance in an effort to grab you, a properly placed elbow will ruin an attackers day! Self defense does not need to be fancy! Use simple techniques which tend to be most effective. If they close - deliver aggressive and repeated elbow and knee strikes.
Stay tactically conscious my friends.

Travel day! Essential defensive countermeasure items once our feet hit the ground in Baltimore! We may look like vulnerable victims, and we will always first pursue peace, practice avoidance, escape and de-escalation when possible. However…their actions will determine the outcome.

Peace or Havoc had the privilege of delivering a Strategies of Safety and Security Awareness session for the National League of Junior Cotillions, Montgomery Chapter, with more than 100 young ladies in attendance.

This was our first exposure to this organization, and I came away incredibly impressed. If you have a high school-age daughter or granddaughter, I strongly encourage you to GET THEM INVOLVED.

The leadership is doing an outstanding job preparing these young women with valuable life skills—many of which are rarely addressed in a traditional school setting.

This group of young leaders is certainly on the path to success in life. It was an honor to spend time with them!

Where were you on this day? I’d like to hear your story….
I was teaching a SWAT School, we immediately shut it down and were deployed strategically to high asset locations. Deb was eventually sent to ground zero to assist with evidence recovery efforts.
NEVER FORGET!🇺🇸

If they can’t see they can’t fight!
In self-defense, eye pokes/gouges are a highly effective. The primary objective is to create an immediate opportunity to escape an attack, not to stay and fight. Delivered effectively they cause immediate pain and visual impairment. Be sure that your defensive actions are justified and you’re not delivering a disproportionate defensive response since attacking the eyes can cause serious injury.

Stay tactically conscious my friends.

Post incident recommendations if you have been involved in a self-defense incident…..

Move to a safe place FIRST!

Assess and self-treat your injuries if critical.

Call 911

Tell 911 you were attacked, feared for your life and had to defend yourself.

Request police and ambulance.

If safe to do so, cover your weapon but keep accessible.

It’s a personal decision if you decide to render aid to the attacker.

When police arrive listen to instructions.

Repeat to officer “I was attacked, feared for my life and had to defend myself.”

Point out evidence and witnesses.

It’s always best to state that you will cooperate but request an attorney.

Stay tactically conscious my friends!

Will you be “present” to recognize the earliest detectable signs of an attack? Or will you be elsewhere like most of our distracted society?
