00:00The following is brought to you by Ghanie.
00:51The world is becoming more and more a violent place to live in, and it's not just about
00:56our children being educated academically and sending them out, not just about us getting
01:02jobs and working.
01:04The world is a global village.
01:06Everybody knows everybody using the phone on cyberspace, and there are so many different
01:11types of predator crimes, physical crimes against the person, home invasions, women
01:18are being attacked, children are dying, their schools' violence erupting everywhere.
01:21If that enough is not a reason for people to learn how to take care of themselves and
01:27to protect themselves, which equals self-defense, then what is?
01:53Know your combat environment.
01:56Understand the speeds of approach.
01:59Watch the hands of people as they pass you by, because it's the hands that are going to
02:03grab you, not the eyes or anything like that, whether they pull a gun or reach out for you
02:07or something like that.
02:09Be prepared to disengage from an attacker 31 feet, because that's the average distance
02:15from where somebody can point a gun at you.
02:17And if you're standing still or you're in their line of fire, they will hit you and
02:21you can die.
02:22And that's happening in Trinidad and Tobago.
02:26Remember the different angles in which people can attack you, and be able to find an escape
02:33route for every place that you visit.
02:36Be aware, not paranoid.
02:46People on their phones, people walking or training with their headphones, those things
02:52lock off the outside sounds that you're not aware of your own environment.
02:57And we talk about being able to see 21 feet all around you, even if you're sitting in
03:03your car, for example.
03:05And so some of these practices that we have help us to become more vulnerable.
03:10Threat plus vulnerability.
03:12Threat plus risk is called vulnerability.
03:14So if we are not aware of those threats in the environment, how are we going to be able
03:19to mitigate it?
03:30I'm not fit enough.
03:32I'm too small.
03:33I don't fit the mold to defend myself against so many different attackers.
03:39But if you develop a blueprint for your personal safety, like I say in my books, then you would
03:44have catered for one of those scenarios where the attacker or attackers are bigger than you.
03:47And in training, you develop reflex action, you develop responses.
03:52You will not get it right the first time.
03:55And it's the reason why you train to survive.
03:58The fact that gender is an issue, that because I'm a boy or because I'm a woman or a girl,
04:04I can't defend myself.
04:06That is so totally wrong.
04:23I'm going to come with a knife as I'm going to stab in there, right?
04:28When you're lying on the ground, all you need to do is to move the head out of the line
04:34and
04:35swing your hands out to defend that, to push that knife out of the way as you come over
04:40him.
04:52So you can come in a little bit.
04:54You can come back to me.
04:55I'm going to step up.
05:08I чтобы you have a knife out of the way we just saw this.
05:10Right?
05:12I'm going to step up.
05:16I'm going to step up.
05:17I'm going to step up.
05:19I'm going to step up.
05:21The face of the right is a lot.
05:23I'm going to step up.
05:35The proceeding was brought to you by Garnier.
