Often times the bully is put off by looks alone ! It pays to have a
padded jacket if your going into a tough neighbourhood..Avoiding a
fight should always be your first priority ,so looks are
important.bluff is your best defense if you still get attacked then
anything goes ofcourse !I found that a bit of paper padding in the
biceps area works wonders ..and sticking out your chest is like a cat
sticking up her fur...dont under estimate the power of the BLUFF !

a friend sent this to me and i wasn't going to bother reading it but went ahead
and did so.  i had heard some of this before but that last one was new to me. 
good to refresh yourself now and then.

Subject: Fw: Please read this because I love you

Because of recent abductions in daylight hours,refresh yourself of these things
to do in an emergency situation...

This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, everyone
you know.

After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about. It
never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.


1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use
it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it
away from you.... chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or
purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER
DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights
and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't
see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working,
etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS!
The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him
to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to
go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

     a. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF!  Instead gun the engine and speed into anything,
wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat
they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It
is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
     A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side
floor, and in
          the back seat

B..) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger
door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans
while the women are attempting
to get into their cars.

C..) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the
passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may
want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you
back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible
places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at
NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The
predator  Will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it
most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP. It may get you raped,
or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man,
who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a
cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his
vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

AND, the latest trick:
************* Here it is *******
>
9. Another Safety Point:  Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying
baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it
was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her "Whatever you do, DO
NOT open the door."

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and
she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over.

The policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door." He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry
recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they
have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear
baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby ----

This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory
was  mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled
the serial killer in Louisiana.

I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A
candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the
ladies only, but guys,
if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass
it onto them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we
live in has a lot of crazies in it and it's better to be safe than sorry.

back in CT I used to carry sharpened pencils when I would go walking downtown
danbury. The reason was because I'd stab the person and snap the pencil off so
they couldn't pull it out. everyday item and even if I had 50 sharp pencils it
wouldn't look like anything out of the ordinary.. ;o)

Groin Strikes
It's just as effective striking the groin at a downward angle as it is
striking the groin at an upward angle

It's easy to blame your partner if you get hit whether he/she followed
the guidelines of the drill or not, but the fact is, you got hit, so
you need to fix it.

Hit an attacker with his own hands
if he keeps them to close to his face or if he
keeps any other weapon to close to his face
for that matter
