So, can you guys tell that I'm a worrier, yet?

I’m used to it lmao my mom is a major worry wart. And she always says not to sit in parking lots yet I always do been trying not to but it happens hahah

This is so fascinating lol

Very informative, too. Useful.
I've been meaning to start doing a little workout routine. Some pushups, squats, and stretches. Maybe a Conan pose and some planks. Work on endurance, flexibility, and strength.

Don’t hold your breath. Tighten up as much as possible. Exhale sharply as struck if you have time. Don’t hold it ever. Don’t panick if/when your wind leaves. You will not pass out. Damage is done. Surprise with motion. Whomever hit you is expecting a crumbling mass that’s afraid. Don’t be. Inflict enough damage to stop aggressor enough to remove yourself from that position.

Well said. Thank you so much for talking with us about this and giving us advice.

And don’t expect a kick to the jewels to stop anyone.

My son and I would have these conversations and I remember telling him to yell and whatever because you want to draw attention at this point. I would love to take martial arts classes, but they seem just so focused on testing, contests(?), and getting to move up to the next belt. I would just love it for the exercise tbh. I dont care about belt colors

All the advice in the world will do nothing. It needs put into practice. You will default to training when you enter ‘fight or flight’

Training is the absolute most important. I insisted my wife take a year of hand to hand self defense before starting to religiously carry her sidearm. We still glove up and brush up technique, as well as try new stuff every 4-5 months.

I get all the weirdoes. Ive been asked to pay for peoples’ gas at the station, hit up for money in parking lots, hit up for “other stuff” lots of times. Scary! Freakin’ weirdos! Thankfully it didn't go any further. Thank you Guardian Angel!

Remember to pace yourself young padawan.
