INTRODUCTION Dear participant, The following handout represents years of work and time. The information contained in it is intended for this Practical Self Defense course only. NONE OF THE MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THIS BOOKLET CAN BE COPIED OR REPRODUCED. This course or information alone will not make you a master of any martial arts, nor does it guarantee you will be able to defend yourself in an emergency.
The intent of this course is to help you become more aware of your surroundings and possible dangers that may be around any corner. An evasive move or two could be used to get out of an unpleasant situation.
The hand-to-hand techniques used in this course are derived from several styles of Filipino Martial Art's, which use weapons such as knives, swords, and sticks. Like anything else, to be good at martial arts it takes years of practice. I started as a kid, and still don't know it all. I learn something new every time I practice. So the more you sweat in class, the less you bleed in the street. Practice can make you better, not perfect. If you are interested in learning more about the real beauty and history of this wonderful art, feel free to contact me anytime. I would like to give special thanks to the following persons for their dedication and trust in me as an instructor. Brandon Arthur Lee Miraflor, Christina Moore, Florence Low, and Lynne Farrar. If it weren't for these people this course would not be possible.

Awareness - a way of life
AUTOMOBILE:
1. Always have your car keys ready in your hand to defend yourself as you open the door. 2. Always lock your car at home, gas station, & mall. Look in the back seat and under the car
before entering. 3. Always keep your windows up and the doors lock when driving. 4. Don't roll your windows down for panhandlers or people wanting directions. Never pick-up
hitchhikers. 5. Park in lighted areas at night, and always in an attended lot. Don't give the attendant the
key to the trunk or your house keys. Don't leave your identification, license number, your name, or address on your keys.
6. Store an extra key hidden under your car frame or in your wallet. 7. When going out of town, make sure your vehicle is in good running condition, you don’t
need a breakdown. 8. Never leave Christmas gifts or anything of value, open and exposed in the vehicle. 9. If involved in an accident, if possible, first thing get the license number; take a picture with
your cell phone before they drive away, some people take off on you. Next look for witnesses immediately.
10. HOTELS: 1. Park your vehicle as close to your room as possible, to hear your car alarm. 2. Always use all the locks on the door or jamb a chair against the door. 3. At night, close all the curtains, one of them are usually a see through, or hang a blanket
over the window. 4. When answering the door always peek through the peephole, or have them slide their
identification under the door. 5. Never use the interior back stairs in a building or hotel, especially if they are not well lit.
Use them incase of a fire, always. 6. Always rent a room on the second floor if they have one, its safer. 7.
TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN OR VACATION: 1. Stop all mail or newspapers, and have them hold it for you. Call the Police Watch
Commander, and ask if they can do a drive by. 2. If you get sleepy, pull over in a rest area or park in the City police parking lot. Park in a well
lighted area, like Wal-Mart parking lot. 3. Leave some timers on and a few lights, to appear like someone is home. 4. Lock or un-plug the automatic garage door opener. 5. Tell your good neighbors you will be gone and to watch the house. 6.
9
HOME: 1. If any agency, delivery service, or solicitor wants in your house without an appointment,
don't let them in. 2. Trimming all trees and bushes away from the house and a couple feet off the ground,
makes it harder for someone to hide. 3. Install security lighting that can be turned on manually or automatically. 4. Install security screen doors at the front and back with single dead bolts. Double dead
bolts that require a key can be tough when the house is filled with smoke, or the key is missing.
5. If you’re a single woman, buy some NRA or gun magazines, a size 13 pair of boots from the thrift store, and throw a handful of pistol casings around the front porch, should scare the average guy off, if he has any sense.
6. WORK: Parking Meter Personal: 1. Watch for dogs in vehicles with the window down. 2. If confronting an angry person, stay close to your vehicle. Stay at least an arms lengthen
away, while backing up to your vehicle. 3. Check between the cars if someone is hiding. 4. Code Enforcement Officer: 1. If confronting an angry person, stay close to your vehicle. Stay at least an arms lengthen
away, and have your metal clipboard ready to protect yourself, while backing up to your vehicle.
2. If the house is in question, call for back-up, park one house away, have your metal clipboard ready.
3. Office Personnel: 1. Women using the restroom should look around the corners and in the stalls before you use
them. 2. If you have one of those old school six inch, straight pointed, receipt holders, get rid of it.
Those make a deadly weapon for the bad person standing in front of your desk. 3. If you work after hours, and late, notify your family or another co-worker. Use the restroom
before the close of working hours. Don't trust the janitor. Lock all doors, don't advertise you are alone.
4. If someone in the elevator makes you feel uncomfortable, get off the next floor. Always stand next to the control panel, so you can pull the fire alarm.
5. Wear street or walking shoes to and from work, than change to dress shoes at work. You can't run or defend yourself very good in high heels.
6. Women can't run in confining clothing, or long narrow tight skirts. 7. Your dress appearance can attract the wrong attention. 8.
10
Bus, Cab, Train, or Airplane: 1. Sit near the driver in a bus, if you’re a single female. 2. Do not sleep on the bus or cab, stay alert. Unless your with a friend or secure your
personal belongings. 3. Be careful of people asking or wanting to give directions. 4. Sit at the back of the airplane, it’s the safest area in a crash. Maintenance Personnel: 1. If you know the client is upset from the Work Order Request, watch the eyes and body
language; listen to the tone of their voice. 2. Once you're inside their house, there might only be one way out. 3. Remember, you represent your company, so your reaction can make you or break you. 4. A clipboard is a great defensive tool.

A.C.T.I.O.N. what does it mean?
Alarm - The first thing you want to do is sound the alarm. Scream as loud as you
can, if your life depends on it, shout FIRE or HELP.
Control - Second you want to get control of your mind and body. Try not to panic,
take a big breath, THINK, relax, and gather your thoughts NOW. You only have a few seconds. Controlling yourself is controlling the situation.
Technique - Remember what you were taught in class, or from others. Of three
moves you were taught, remember that special one you can do with your eyes shut. What move is best for this situation or what are my options?
Initiate - Think the move through in your mind, if you have time. Think what if that
move does not work, plan "B". You are now getting ready to initiate the move and sizing up your opponent.
Offense - You are being attacked, but sometimes you have to switch to attack
mode. You don't have to just play defense, reverse and surprise them. You can't always run, turn and face your situation.
Neutralize - The element of surprise is your best defense. Move as fast and
strong as you can with accuracy. Don't stop until your enemy is down on the ground. Call the police.

A.W.A.R.E.
Aware of your surroundings. One of the first things we need to do is start using your FIVE
SENSES.
Hearing - ears - is one of the first senses that would kick in for an unexpected situation.
Sight - eyes - you should be able to see long distance, which is like an early warning
system. Identification.
Smell - nose - this sense will activate very quickly if you smell something that you
recognize as negative.
Taste - tongue - if you taste something bad, your body will reject it and, hopefully no
damage was done.
Feeling - hands - if you touch a doorknob and it feels hot, stop there could be a problem on
the other side.
With proper training, such as this class, you will have some options. I'm very sure you
would not have got the job you have without proper training. Training and experience go
hand-in-hand, one doesn't happen without the other.
Attitude is planning actions in case something happens. Having an attitude that something may happen and taking proper steps for knowing what to do give you an edge over the average person. When a man sees a woman in a state of undress (and this does not mean she
is naked but dressed too scantly) men make assumptions the woman is loose or less worthy
of respect. Nuns, Muslim women that cover, and modestly dressed women are treated
differently, with more respect and are much less likely to be molested verbally or otherwise
by men.
Respond and face the challenge. Don’t run, unless you’re a professional track runner and
can dodge bullets, which 99 percent of us do not fit that position. Last of all prepare
yourself to mentally deal with the possibility of gang rape. If men use violence against men
in the form of rape in prison then certainly it will be used against weaker and often less
savvy women. Women often first respond to an impending attack with fear and indecision
this conveniently paralyzes them at the most crucial moment. At that moment a woman
must react by doing what the attacker least expects, commit to combat "hit harder, faster,
more often, and hit him first"! Of course, sharp contact with vital sensitive areas of the male
anatomy can have the added beneficial effect of making any male attacker unable to
perform or perpetuate an attack. This is something that is not hard to do, regardless of
height weight or strength but women are almost never taught this, use Pressure Points.
Employee safety should always be first.

Verbal Self Defense Notes
"Verbal Self Defense represents harmless tactics to redirect anger and close the deal"
There are basically three categories of people
1. Nice people - are generally pretty easy to deal with.
2. Wimps - aren't really pushovers, they'll back off but will look for a chance to get you later.
3. Difficult People - insist on causal explanations. They want to know why -all the time. "WHY" is
the bottom line in America. It is the essence of a can do culture.
Empathy is not the same as sympathy. You don't have to feel the other person's pain, but you do have to
step into his shoes, or his head figuratively.
"Treat people with respect simply because it's right"
Sometimes you have to put a silencer on your tongue by;
• Using words to redirect the negative force of others.
• Practicing mind-mouth harmony.
• Taking control of situations without escalating stress and frustration.
"That the Rule"
Means a formal definition just throws up a brick wall. Rather than explain your purpose, pointly, briefly,
using logic to clarify.
"Calm Down" - This phrase can work the opposite and backfire. It could make the other person more
furious. Instead settle for, "Let's talk about this".
"GET AN EXPLANATION BECAUSE EXPLAINING DEFUSES ANGER" - Turn the situation into a
listening encounter.
Easy to say, hard to do. The longer a person talks, the less anger they can be.
"Be Reasonable"
The only way to stimulate rationality is to be reasonable yourself. After listening, repeat back to the person,
"Ok, here's what I heard you say"
Remember you are on display, your uniform and your position guarantees that. You also possess the
Hammer, but you don't have to use it. In some ways you are an Actor, you have to put on a show.
"The Benefits of Paraphrasing"
Repeating what the other person said, but not exactly the same way. Repeating back to them in clarity. In
your own words but to your advantage.
"How you say it"
The way you deliver or present yourself makes all the world a difference in gaining success. The three main
elements that effect communication between two people in a face-to-face meeting are:
1. FACTS - statistics show that only 7-10% of success is based on Facts.
2. VOICE - 40% depends on the characteristics of your voice.
3. NON-VERBAL SIGNALS - 50-60% body language.
When on the phone 90% of your success depends on your voice, 10% is on the information itself.
