Text Box: Self Defense Tips Text Box: How to hold your keys in the parking lot. Example one: Our old way of teaching how to hold your car keys for protection in a parking lot was between the fingers as shown here under the navigation bar on the left. We found two problems with holding the car key in this manner. First Photo: It was harder to open the car door while holding the keys this way. Second Photo: The key was more difficult to control, often sliding around between the fingers. We discovered that a better way of holding the key was in the same manner as used by 10th degree Grandmaster Ron Browning, founder of Accelerated Fighting Systems in Dallas, Texas. Note: All great martial artists will continually look to better themselves and their teaching. Sharing knowledge with other martial art masters is the best way to perfect new ideas and techniques. Self-defense instructors must continue to create and share new information which meet the needs of a changing society. The third and fourth pictures to the left demonstrate a good way to hold your car key for defense as well as quick entry into the vehicle. To some this may seem trivial, but when seconds can mean the difference between escaping a rapist and/or murderer, this one simple technique could save a life. This manner of holding the key allows you to have control of movement and placement of key on the attackers hand, arm or face. It is also easier to place in the keyhole of the door on your vehicle. It is recommended to stand with the key down at your side and slightly behind you rather than in front of you where the attacker could grab your arm or hand. Knowledge of pressure points on the hand, wrist and arm can assist in a quick release from the attackers hold on your other arm; however, just digging the key into the arm, wrist or face of the attacker seems to have a pretty good effect.

Text Box: My Child Won’t Listen to Me!! We all know how important it is to develop good listening skills. But, we so often forget (or don’t recognize) that we also need to continue practicing our own listening skills. The mother of a four year old once told me, “I don’t know how you get her to listen for an entire hour. She won’t listen to me for an entire minute.” I asked the mom, “How do you listen to her?” Many times, we listen to the children while we are doing the dishes or while accomplishing some other necessary task. However, if we will stop and pay our full attention to the child for just 30 seconds, we will find them more receptive to us when we talk to them. In the motion picture industry, there is a saying when an actor is still thinking about the last scene, it’s called “Be Here Now.” We can teach our children to look at us when we speak by allowing them to mimic our action of giving our complete attention to them when they speak. Naturally, we can’t stop every other minute and listen to them, but we can stop and listen to the, then ask them to let us finish our task before engaging in more conversation. That way, we explain, we can give them our full attention and not be distracted by our work. The kids will usually want to help us and we can find some small task for them. Now, they’re helping mommy clean the house or daddy maintain the yard. Although small children often talk fantasy, we want to be sure that we don’t cut them off when they are speaking or even talk down to them. Sometimes we find ourselves stopping them and explaining why there thinking isn’t logical or realistic. Think about this from the child’s point of view and answer this question: Would you rather be engaged in a conversation or just listening to another lecture?
