The Myth of the "Good Neighborhood"

Okay, I had to add this one in-we'll get back to #2 of Kary's 6 Combat Principles tomorrow-but this is important so pay attention.

My neighborhood I'm sure is like most middle class areas-good parts and bad parts.
This got me to thinking-peoople who come up in bad neighborhoods have a certain sense about them that most folks in mioddle class areas don't have. The most dangerous neighborhoods in my opinion are those areas that are good areas but have certain sections that are just starting to "get bad." You know these areas, the ones with pockets of apartments that are "shady" or other areas where crime rates are high in town. Why do i say this? Easy. Bad areas have high crime-people who live there know this, so they are more vigilant. Rich areas have gated communities and private security services, house alarms and big fences. Crime does happen, however, not nearly as much, mostly by rich little pissants who have nothing better to do and whose mommy and daddy spoon feed them. Middle class areas are nice enough to keep people's minds at ease but still have the opportunity for criminal elements to begin filtering in, namely in the lo-income apartment complexes, breeding areas for drug activity.

It's for that reason that the working class/middle class areas are in the most danger-they're still pretty nice, which makes people think, "well, y'know, my neighborhood is good, no crime here." What they should be thinking is 'I have a nice neighborhood and good neighbors, but I'm always aware of who's around me."

Practicing vigilance combined with learning honest, effective and efficient techniques like those in the White Collar Warrior Self Protection Skills Home Study COurse will keep you safe and allow you to enjoy your life knowing that you won't be lulled into a false sense of security.

Develop an Offensive Mindset

Let's break down the first of John Kary's 6 principles of combat, specifically as it applies to learning and applying simple, basic, effective self defense.

Develop an OFFENSIVE Mindset.

Simply put, this means that your mentailty, when faced with an attacker or someone wishing to do you harm, MUST be "I will hurt THEM" rather than "I will defend MYSELF"

By taking this stance, your attitude shifts from one of "Please don't hurt me" to 'How F***ing DARE YOU ATTACK ME?!?" In doing so, you rob your body of fear, and replace it with righteous indignation. Your tools will then be able to do damage, not so much due to technique (although knowledge of proper techniques, such as those found in the White Collar Warrior Self Protection Skills Home Study Course, is essential) but rather due to the mentality and feeling behind the technique. In this sense the old adage, "He can because he thinks he can" actually, is true.

How do you develop this mentality? Through scenario based training drills and employing gross motor movements against an uncooperative opponent in mock set-ups.
Wanna know how to do this? The best course I have seen out there for this is either Peyton Quinn's RMCAT, Bill Kipp's FAST defense or specifically for women, a rape prevention class called IMPACT. Check them out if you have the means. I also encourage you to check out the White Collar Warrior site at

For 7 bucks, the info you will get is priceless.

Buy it and make yourselves and your families safer.

Til next time,

Remember-no one has the right to attack you. No one. If they do, make them sorry. You have the power to do just that. Believe it.

Something to chew on...

Im keeping this short and sweet today. In any system that teaches simple, effective and easy moves and techniques for self defense, techniques is only 10 percent. The rest is non-physical. What do I mean? Attitude. Mindset. Mentality.
The following is an excerpt from a book entitled American Combatives by Master John Kary, a decorated Vietnam veteran who has actually used close quarter combatives, much like the moves seen in the White Collar Warrior Self Protection Skills Home Study Course at www.whitecollarwarrior.com/Products.html

Read, and pay attention because these are very important.

1. Develop an Offensive Mindset.

2. Trust Your Instincts.

3. Attack with Ruthlessness and Aggression.

4. Keep your Attack BASIC and SIMPLE.

5. Attack Vital Parts of the Body.

6. Be Confident and Determined.

I will address each of these in turn over the next week, so stay tuned!

Til next time,

Be safe!

The Wrathful Goddess

Too often in today's society, the issue of returning to or getting in touch with one's base instincts or primal nature is not only discouraged but outright condemned. What is sad and at the same time ironic and comical is that it is this very state that will benefit one the most should they ever need to remove themselves from a violent encouinter with an attacker. Women especially have the capability to be either extremely loving and sweet or the textbook definition of vindictive. Don't believe me? All I can say is look around you! Men punch each other; women claw at the face, pull hair, bite and scratch. Men call someone an asshole; women mercilessly emotionally attack each other's reputation, start rumors and expose secrets previously held in the strictest confidence. There is truth behind why so many sitcoms feature a bumbling husband and his hell-on-wheels wife (aside from the fact that so many men today are nothing more than emasculated lttle children who transfer responsibility of their own lives and decisions from "Mommy" to "Wife"...this really pisses me off, but that's for another time). This is also the reason for the saying, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
Given all the evidence at hand, it seems ludicrous why women, who have it within them to be very damaging towards those who displease them, are many times told or believe that it is best to cooperate with an attacker. What?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? If someone wants your purse, fine. Screw it. No big deal. If someone tries to force you to do or go somewhere you don't want to, DO NOT ACQUIESCE. Simple moves to the most effective targets (Eyes, throat, groin, shins) and a "How dare you attack ME?!" attitude will be exactly what you need. Perhaps the best quote on the subject is from David Deida's fantastic book, The Way of the Superior Man



It reads:

Today's current fashion is to supprerss both the dark masculine and the dark feminine, so we have a large population of wimpy men and polite women. But beneath the nice veneer of most women lies the wrathful goddess..."

Do not deny your wrathful goddess. Bring her out when she needs to be brought out, and make the attacker sorry he ever chose to assault you. Don't deny who you are.
