Considering the unfortunate degree of crime in our communities,
considering
the fact that 1 in 4 Black women is raped during her lifetime in
America,
and considering in over 90% of violent crime cases the police don't
get
involved UNTIL AFTER THE CRIME HAS OCCURRED, I am offering this basic
knife defense class to increase the probability of surviving a violent
confrontation with minimal harm to yourself should you be unlucky
enough to
be chosen as someone's potential victim. Before you decide that this
isn't
for you, or you could never cut or stab another human being consider
the
following questions/issues:
1. Very few, if any violent crime victims ever thought they would
become a
victim until it happened to them.
2. If your child is killed, you will never see them again, if you are
killed they will never see you again. Either way you will never see
each
other, therefore, never be
too quick to say what you couldn't or wouldn't do to someone who is
trying
to take your life, think about the people who love and depend on you.
3. Think about your job. How long would it take you to realize that a
person pretending to know your job didn't know what they were doing?
Understand that criminals do crime for a living just like you do your
job
for a living. Human predators, like animal predators have a heightened
sense of who is prey and who is not. Most can tell by looking in your
eyes,
listening to your speech, and looking at your body language to
determine if
you would really do whatever it took, to defend yourself. What would
"Pookie" see if he looked in your eyes?
4. Not thinking about an unpleasant subject doesn't mean it won't
happen to
you...it just means you won't know what to do if it does. Remember,
the
definition of panic is knowing something needs to be done immediately,
but
having no idea of what to do!!!
