the best defense is knowledge and
fortunately there are ways to avoid
becoming another statistic hi I’m
Rebecca Britain and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
learning more about self defense my name
is George Manoli I’m a professional
simulator and personal safety trainer
and I’m dressed this way so I can attack
either men women children in order to
teach them how to defend themselves no
no beautiful very nice what kinds of
principles are stressed at a
self-defense course a self-defense
course a must be hands-on it cannot be
hocus pocus you know punching in the air
and blocking and throwing if I want to
learn to swim I must jump in the water
and swim if I want to learn to defend
myself then the instructor must put me
in situations where the adrenaline in me
forces me to deal with the confusion and
panic that happens during an attack so
it should incorporate what is known as
adrenal stress training therefore
pushing my buttons so I get stressed it
needs to incorporate stuff on the ground
because the majority of sexual assaults
do not happen standing up except in
movies of course also it doesn’t always
happen in the gym it doesn’t always
happen in a big empty room might be a
couch my tables might be against the
wall you don’t know so a self-defense
course must be hands-on and it must
incorporate what somebody does on a
regular basis is important for men as
well to learn self-defense yes
absolutely self-defense or some kind of
maybe martial art something that is
going to give them maybe a sense of
empowerment or a sense of personal
knowledge that’s where confidence comes
from now i know most martial arts the
goal isn’t to harm someone but is that
the goal in self-defense when we’re
talking about self-defense we are
defending oneself from something so the
goal here is to hit no hit no hit now
and get the hell out of there as quickly
as possible you have to understand is
not like martial arts is not where I
escape counter escape counter a million
times therefore becomes a reflex action
this is not what we’re trying to
incorporate here we are
trying to incorporate your natural
survival instincts no tools such as
pepper spray or mace or illegal are
there any tools that we can carry with
us that can help us in an attack you can
carry for example a hairspray with a
lighter and it becomes a blowtorch so
there’s a variety of things you can
carry but i think the negative aspect of
this is that whatever it is you’re
carrying becomes a crutch if you don’t
have it you feel like you can’t do
anything we know that the majority of
attacks happen in a private home so
you’re not always carrying pepper spray
and keys please understand that all
these things can also be used against
you so fine you have all these options
but I think your best option is what is
between your ears thank you very much my
pleasure
