The unsettling truth of global sex crimes requires us to be loud.

Tip: If you need immediate help, yell "FIRE!" not "HELP!" People respond faster to the word 'fire' due to deep human programming. 🗣️🔥 #GlobalWomen #SelfDefense #SafetyTip

What's the best defense tip you learned in college?

Confidence is an age-proof defense. Training with a community keeps your mind sharp & body capable. Isolation is vulnerability. Find your community and empower each other.

Proactive defense is key. Simple, high-pain strikes buy time. Don't pull your leg back.

Target Knees: Kick or stomp the shin/knee for maximum, immediate effect. Zero strength required. 🦵

We need to normalize training for a reality where powerful people minimize abuse.

Mental benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: less stress, more focus, total confidence. Skip the spin class; learn a knee-to-groin. #PrivateTraining #BrazilianJiuJitsu #BillionairesRow

The cabbie's story is a call for accountability. Empowerment is action. Martial arts boosts focus and reduces stress. ⚖️

Innovative Tip: The "Weight Drop"—If grabbed, instantly drop your body weight like a stone by softening your knees and hinging your hips. Makes you exponentially harder to lift.

For college women, the threat isn't always strangers.Stalking is often a known person.Training with your sorority/entourage builds mutual vigilance.

TIP:Agree on a code word with your friends or family that immediately signals you need help without alerting a threat. 👯‍♀️📞 bit.ly/481NyIc #SelfDefense

Switching from boardroom to combat sports? Women’s Self Defense is fast & practical for street clothes.

Tip: Use the "Eye Swipe" (a quick, aggressive swipe across the eyes) as a universal panic button. It focuses on body mechanics and speed, not gripping. 🥋🚫

Being stalked feels like 'psychological terrorism.'

Tip: If grabbed, use the Keys/Pen Spike: stick a key/pen out from your fist and rake hard across the attacker’s throat or eyes.

Protect your peace. 👯‍♀️#EvaLaRue #WomenSelfDefense #NYCSafety #PrivateTraining #BrazilianJiuJitsu

Sledgehammer attacks are extreme, but the lesson is simple: Be prepared for anything. Your backpack is more than books.

Simple Tip: Quickly spin and use your backpack or heavy bag as a shield to absorb the first impact (Backpack Shield).

Public figures often face harassment.

PHYSICAL TIP: Learn the 'Fence' defense: hands up, palms out, non-aggressive shield. It protects you and buys time against an immediate, close-quarters rush.

The US Attorney's office attack confirms safety must be priority one, not an afterthought. For New Yorkers, that means a strong voice.

Tip: Power Shout: Yell "NO!" while pushing air from your diaphragm. Volume is your first weapon! 🗣️

Campus or city, unwanted touch is NOT a flex. Your confidence is your best tool.

Tip: Throw something (keys, water bottle) at their eyes, then immediately sprint! Distract & Run wins the game. 🏃‍♀️

Grab a safety crash course.

The Alexander case is a wake-up call for NYC socialites, execs, and students. Don't rely on security.

Tip: If someone is trying to force you into a secondary location (car, room), suddenly empty your bladder or vomit on yourself. Extreme disgust is a psychological deterrent.
November 13, 2025 at 2:25 AM
Are you comfortable setting a hard physical boundary? If a stranger/acquaintance gets too close, use the "Fence."

Tip: Your keys are a weapon. Hold them like a spike between your fingers for an improvised "Keys/Pen Strike."
Learn what to do when "No" isn't enough.

Should universities require self-defense? Anxiety is ⬆️. Combat training builds confidence.

TIP: Practice Breakfalls to prevent concussions if you're shoved. 🎓

You manage billions, but can you manage a crisis on the street? The confidence from martial arts is transferable to the boardroom. Learning to fall with grace is key. Train with your team. 🛡️

Safety Tip:If you fall, tuck your chin to your chest to prevent your head from impacting the ground.
November 12, 2025 at 4:18 PM
The mental load is heavy. Martial arts cuts stress.

Tip: If grabbed, make the most painful target you can reach the target: The windpipe. Hit it with the side of your hand or a quick jab. It's a universal disabler.

Protect your mind & calendar. 🧘‍♀️

That UC Berkeley deviant news is a call for mental resilience.

Safety Tip: If your throat is grabbed, immediately hit the crook of their elbow sharply with the side of your hand. Invest in your head & your hands. bit.ly/3Z1cScO #MentalHealth #SelfCare #SelfDefense #WomenOnly #UCBerkeley

Executive risk is real. That convicted dealer being back in the system is a systemic failure. Don't wait for another headline.

Actionable Tip: The Ear Clap causes vertigo & escape time. Fast, effortless, effective. Get the knowledge now. 📚

Global Travel: Your awareness is your bodyguard. Fugitive found in college after 13 years. Safety must be proactive.

Innovative Tip:If a car approaches you slowly, "The Direction Change"—Quickly change direction 3 times (left, right, back) to confirm you're the target, then run toward crowds/light.
November 11, 2025 at 7:10 PM
The chilling reality is that violence respects no location. Martial arts helps with impulse control & stress reduction. Find your edge.

SAFETY TIP: Use a loud personal safety alarm/whistle to stun and disorient an attacker instantly.
