You all might remember I've had two previous self defense reviews. One, when I first started my job at Examiner.com, and another a little more recently, which covered current events all over the place.
This one may be a little more laid back.
In retrospect, I should have mentioned the Krav Maga seminar, on September 11th, 2011. But, to be honest, I didn't know how many people here would have been interested.
However, never fear: I did a four-part review of it for Examiner.com anyway.
There was one part that reviewed how to use The Stop Kick to nail someone charging a third party, even though they may be armed. Trust me, I got kicked in the chest so often, my teeth rattled, and I had a shield.
You do this to an actual attacker, it's gonna suck to be them.
Then there was the choke... in this case, "the choke" is just a simple matter of t-rex arms.... you'll see what I mean.
And, of course, there is the inevitable gun defense.
And learning how to take down a guy holding someone hostage.
And, there's the latest in fashion: Bulletproof clothing.
When Examiner.com suggested I try something to do with 9-11 .... well, I did my best, and called it, simply, New York ten years after 9/11. Original, no?
Some people like to discuss how they can be perfectly safe ... I mention it here:How can I be perfectly safe? Again, another original title.
I briefly talked about How to spot a concealed weapon, a fun little article.
And ... well, there was a little incident lately in NYC's West Indian Parade, which led me to discuss Surviving a shootout, and an encounter with the NYPD
That one's a long story, I think.
And, that is it.
Although it has occurred to me: if anyone has an actual question about self-defense, feel free to ask in the comments below. I'll be sure to try and answer you.
Be safe, all.
