Self-defense is learning how to protect yourself from anything that could cause you harm.
Sure, we teach physical defense classes from Actual Bad Guys who might mean to cause you harm, but self-defense from a holistic point of view is creating a lifestyle that supports you being and doing the best you can in life, no matter what.
- Swimming is protection in water.
- An eating plan is self-defense from unhealthy diets, obesity, starvation, and low energy cycles.
- Meditation is protective self-defense from negative stress or anxiety in our bodies.
- Helmets are self-defense from head injuries (hopefully).
- Movement is protectiong and self-defense from back pain, sedentary diseases, weight issues, depression, and negative stress.
- Boundaries are self-defense from being overwhelmed, feeling pushed or angry, and danger.
We teach Higher Self Defense as a holistic part of creating a lifestyle that works for you and keeps you safe and sane.
*FACT: Teens are the highest percentage of assaults across the board and it’s imperative we help them understand HOW and WHEN and WHAT TO DO when they feel unsafe.
After one of our recent adrenal defense classes we got this feedback:
“I was in the parking lot at the grocery store and a man started coming toward me. My hands were holding bags and instead of hurrying to get them into the car, or getting away fast like I’d normally do, I did what you taught me to do. I turned toward him and took my stance. I looked him straight in the eye and put my hands up. “STOP. What do you want? That’s close enough” He didn’t say a word but mumbled something and backed away! He LEFT! I felt so powerful! “(paraphrased from an excited conversation)
Self Defense Tip: Use your voice. It’s your most powerful tool, and you can use it to your advantage. Combine that with your defense stance and your hands up and you are golden. It shocks the “bad guys” who don’t know what to do! They aren’t used to people telling them to leave!
