Self-Defense Show 072

[CLEAN] Ready, Set, Go... Violence Vocals are the topics of this 72nd episode of the Self-Defense Show. Before we dive into that topic, we answer a general question asked to us on the DefenseChat.com message boards. Why did we leave the traditional martial arts world and do what we do now? Ready, Set, Go are three stages of vocal (and semi-physical) responses to verbal aggression. This episode is a continuation and/or extension of the topics discussed in episode 065. So if you haven't heard...

Self-Defense Show 071

[CLEAN] We talk about 3 violence stories in the news recently. In the first story, a women and her boyfriend are verbally and physically assaulted on a public bus by a group of teenagers. The second story is about a father in the UK who fights back against armed home invaders to save his children. Finally, we read a letter from a wife who predicted her own murder by her husband by way of poisoning. There is some mild PG-13 language a couple of times, but it is as a quote from a news story. ...

[MOSTLY CLEAN] We review the book "Lucky" by Alice Sebold. Except for one explicit yet non-gratuitous quote from the book, the language in this episode is clean. The main part of the show is a bit shorter then normal just because we were pressed for time. However, there is some good bonus "recorded in the car" stuff after the ending music to fill out the hour. In the book, Alice Sebold tells her story of how she was raped and all the repercussion of that violent act on her life. This is an...

[CLEAN] At last! Talk of physical resistance (offensive) techniques!!! I know you all out there have been waiting for it. Now, here it is. After 68 previous episodes on all kinds of other violence protection issues, I feel there is finally enough in the can to go ahead and talk about this over emphasized subject. Now it's in the correct proportion to the other topics covered. 1/69th of effective self-defense is physical offense techniques! LOL Well, sort of. Anyway, Charles is alone on...

[CLEAN] We talk about the 30 warning signs of an abusive boyfriend or husband. Not all abusive partners have these signs, but most do. And abusers don't need to have all of these characteristics either. However, if a partner does show several of these traits, it should raise your concern. If they show most of these signs, that should be a huge red flag. We use Gavin De Becker's The Gift of Fear book for our discussion reference here. This is a highly effective book that everyone should re...

We also talk about police interactions in general, and what to do if a tricky police officer is trying to get into your house without proper authorization. The ultimate goal being how to ensure that your legal rights aren't violated in interactions with the police. Not that the police are bad or the enemy, but they are going to play the game towards their agenda, and know...

[CLEAN] What do you do if the police pull you over in a traffic stop? How can you assert your rights and maximize your legal survival? What things should you say and do, and maybe more importantly, what things should you NOT say or do? Knowing your legal rights in a traffic stop helps you avoid violation. Understanding what the officer is thinking also smooths your interaction with them. This is the first in a 2 or 3 (we're not sure yet) part series that will inform you of all the ins and o...

I'm just glad we recorded it so you guys could hear. Matt shares with us some very interesting stories of him growing up in Japan, and how he developed some of the fundamental ideas about self-defense training. We go on to talk about the ins and outs of the training system and how each part cam...

Sure, we have been lazy, but there is another excuse sure to sooth your Self-Defense Show blues. Although this episode is more of a catch-up episode (and thus light on the self-defense information) we thought we owed you an explanation of where we have been.

She reads the lyrics and we comment on what the artist was thinking or trying to say. This is a pretty unique approach to studying violence; but we need as many various cross sections through this topic as we can get in order to understand it inside and out.
