  Personal Safety Training for Females-Physical Training

  PERSONAL SAFETY TRAINING - THE PHYSICAL ASPECT
  

  Every female has the right to protect and defend herself - if she fears for her life she has the absolute right to defend herself. You must keep in mind that unless an individual is ambushed that there are "warning signs/red flags" along with mental, emotional and/or verbal abuse and much more before physical altercations erupt; these are indicators to remove yourself from the environment. Ultimately, if you are in a position that you have and must react as a result of physical abuse you are not at zero option. You do have a fighting chance. KNOWLEDGE IS A POWERFUL TOOL! Embrace your inner strength and become empowered. Keep in mind, there are no guarantee's in any form of personal safety/self-defense but with knowledge and knowing how to use your mind, body and spirit you at least have a chance. DOING SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN DOING NOTHING.
  
  As you will see in the pictures the slide show, these ladies trained for the physical aspect of defending themselves. I personally commend each female that takes a step out on faith, realizes that violence surrounds us daily and that anyone is a potential victim.  To view the slide show please visit, www.annyjacoby.blogspot.com (copy and paste).
  
  Take care and STAY SAFE!

  Reluctant and Personal Safety

  Why are females so reluctant to be proactive when it comes their personal safety rather than heeding to warning signs, red flags and/or intuition (instinctive)?  It's time to get out of the sand, head first.

  Stalking - It affects every area of your life.

  "The more I gave in to his pleas to meet or talk with him, the more power he had over me, even though he made me believe I was the one in control." Stalking Survivor
  
  Dozens and dozens of unwanted phone calls/messages, letters - unwanted communication with the possibility of unwanted communication escalating to threats or even worse.  A near constant - victims and their stalkers - they almost always know each other well.  Trying to dissolve the relationship and one is unwilling to let go.  That is stalking.
  
  The gut instincts that are trying to tell us must not be disregarded.  For your safety in any type of crime we must pay attention to those instincts.
  
  Join Susan Murphy Milano and myself for her BTR show on Wednesday, May 6th from 4-5pm as we sit down together and discuss stalking and how you can protect yourself mentally, emotionally and ultimately physically if need be.
  
  See you on the radio.
  
  Take care and STAY SAFE!

  Redefining Rape

  Rape is a sexual assault in which a person penetrates a victim by force or the threat of force, against the victim's will, or when the victim is physically and/or mentally unable to give consent.
  
  It is important to realize that not every victim of rape has signs of physical abuse.  Just because her clothes are not torn, or her bones are not broken, doesn't mean that she didn't resist or that she wasn't raped.  The threat of force is, in many cases, just as intimidating as actual violence for the victim.  The rapist has used fear to get control of her.  Rape is an act of choice to commit a crime, to forcibly obtain power over another individual through the means of sexual assault.
  
  The difference between stranger rape and date/acquaintance rape is the relationship between the victim and the rapist.  The fact that she supposedly knows the rapist may make it more difficult to identify him as dangerous.  Even more, knowing him can also dilute a female's normal self-defense response to her attacker and cause her to hesitate in reporting the crime and seeking help for herself.
  
  REALITY CHECK:
  AFTER YOU SAY, "NO," IT IS RAPE.
  
  REALITY CHECK:
  ALL RAPISTS ARE SERIAL RAPIST - THEY RAPE UNTIL THEY ARE STOPPED, AVERAGING FOUR TO FIVE RAPES.  THEY RARELY GET HELP THEMSELVES, i.e., THEY DON'T STOP UNTIL THEY'RE STOPPED.
  
  REALITY CHECK:
  RAPE IS NOT JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING.  RAPE IS A CRIMINAL ACT OF CHOOSING TO OVERPOWER A FEMALE AND IMPOSE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE ON HER WITHOUT HER CONSENT OR WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE.

  Why Batterers Batter

  Batterers may be difficult to identify because they can be found in all social and demographic groups. They come from all walks of life, all professions, and all educational backgrounds. The vast majority of men who batter are not mentally ill. Their intent is not to inflict pain, but to cause fear and intimidation in order to gain and maintain power and control over their partners.
  
  Batters abuse their partners because they choose to do so. Outside circumstances (stress, alcohol, unemployment, the kids, the weather, drugs, etc.) do not trigger behavior or cause them to be violent. A batterer abuses to maintain power and control over his/her partner.
  
  The majority of the time - batterers don't know why they do it or they remain in denial and continue to blame the victim. Batterers do have problems but it doesn't give them the right to do what they do. There is no reason that constitutes the hurt and damage that is done in an abusive relationship. Abuse is against the law.
  
  Batterers batter and use power and control tactics because:
  *They have learned to do it.
  *It works.
  *They can.
  
  In order for batterers to stop, they will have to:
  *Learn differently.
  *Be held accountable and not get away with it.

  The Power of Fear

  The Power of Fear
  
  Where is all of the violence coming from in our world? Is it the powerful exhibiting their strength to the powerless? Is it the strong preying on the weak? Those are parts of the problem, but it’s usually someone trying to prove a point to themselves and they try to force their belief on the person being violated. The main ingredient of violence is usually the fear that is inside of the person being violent.
  
  * When a person is free of fear they don’t feel the need to prove anything to anyone.
  * When a person is free of fear they will overlook an argument because they are sure of where they stand.
  * When a person is free of fear they don’t need to restrain, harm or hinder the next person in any way at all because their strength is in their beliefs and actions.
  * When a person is free of fear they are not afraid to walk away.
  
  Does violence really make people respect someone’s power or does it just show people that a violent person has weaknesses of fear, insecurity, and ego issues? When a person is truly powerful, there is no reason to prove their power to anyone…People will recognize it.
