How to Deal with an Intruder By: Chris Marshall Burglaries on properties when the occupiers are in are very rare, however they do happen from time to time, usually at night when the household is expected to be asleep. Despite this being a very rare occurance, you should think about what you would do to protect yourself and your family should you ever find yourself in this situation.

A System for Survival on the street, in the park, at your front door - in YOUR BEDROOM.
Yes there is!
Is it a Burglar Alarm? Well, not really. If he’s in, he’s in. And so are you! Problem! You have to face him there and then. The Alarm may warn you, and give you time to prepare - phone the police, hide under the bed, jump out the window …
Autogenic Training [AT] can have a significant part to play.
Consisting of a Mind–Body set of some ‘six standard exercises’, where one addresses various body functions seeking to regulate them into a more ‘in tune automatic response’ state of normality.
Self Defence 5: Protect Yourself And Your Dog By: John Roberts-James We read so much about pet owners being attacked, raped and murdered when walking their dog in the park or wherever..
Now, rightly or wrongly, I consider my first duty is to Tyson, my dog.
1. I make sure his collar is such that I can slide it off in an instant, freeing him and making it difficult for (my) attacker, mugger or would-be rapist to catch hold and hurt him.
Self Defence 4 – Which Martial Art? By: John Roberts-James You are elderly and unfit. And very concerned at the risk you face when walking our streets and parks.
Worried about mugging. Frightened about rape. Scared of yobs. You want to learn how to give yourself a better than even chance of survival.
You have decided to join a self defence class. But which one?
Karate? Aikido? Judo? Ju-jutsu? Kung-fu? Hapkido? The list is truly endless.
Self Defence 6: The Mandatory Warning By: John Roberts-James You are walking along when you see a suspicious looking character coming towards you. You adjust the hold on your umbrella or walking stick and prepare to defend yourself.
Aware of the need to protect yourself, as he approaches you suddenly hit out and break his head.
Good!
No! Bad! Very Bad!
The result? He lands up seriously sick in hospital.
Self Defence 7: Isometric Exercise And Brime By: John Roberts-James Exercise without moving as muscle? Yes, of course. A tried and tested system – perhaps not to turn yourself into a man or woman of steel, but nevertheless an accepted and documented way of reviving much of your younger days’ tuning.
There are many and varied training methods. When I worked in the London hospitals (so many years ago!) I was actively involved in Exercise Study. A passionate student of BRIME – Brief Repetitive Isometric Exercise, that was the ‘In Thing’!
Self Defence 8: Curdle His Blood! By: John Roberts-James Tyson, my dog, is a powerful Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Tremendously strong, huge jaws and a tremendous bite. Which I know to my cost when he misses his rope tug-of-war and accidentally catches me instead!
The only thing which subdues him is – a sharp command from my wife. And down he cowers. [A bit like me?]
Gorgeously natured, he is afraid of nothing. That’s how it should be. He is able to go wherever he chooses – when I allow him.
A small latch is fitted which would make a noise to wake you if the bedroom door was forced, but would allow emergency aid to easily shove it open. But tonight of all nights you forget both to latch it and to set the house burglar alarm.
Your dog sleeps in the bedroom with you but she is old and deaf. A bit like you… You don’t want her beaten and killed as she tries to defend you.
It could be a turning car, another dog – or even a mugger. We all read about young girls or young mothers with prams being attacked when walking their dog and left injured or worse.
I’m far from being a young girl or mother, but I’m very much aware of my surroundings. My big hobby is in fact the Martial Arts. A lifelong study, my interest now is drawing the attention of pet owners to sur... Tags: dog, pet, self defence, baby, mugger, chain
My Left Eye is rather different, due to a Judo accident thirty years ago. I was fighting in the British Army team against the German Police. To score a Full Point one has to deposit your partner flat on his back. This often entails falling on top of him to make sure he can’t twist out to safety. A few days prior to the match I’d injured my knee, and I was hesitant to risk it in an important competition.
A True Tail! By: John Roberts-James Jungle Scene 1
Tiger lay there, feeling somewhat hungry. As tigers tend to. Switching his tail.
Suddenly in the glade ahead appeared a fat juicy Antelope.
“Ah” said Tiger, “Dinner Time!”
He crawled on his belly, inching closer and closer to his lunch. But a Bird chirped a warning! ””DANGER”” The Antelope looked up, saw the Tiger and thought “Oh, Oh, I’d better make a move. It may be the Tiger’s dinner time but it’s certainly not mine!”
Self Defence: What Do You Think? By: John Roberts-James I am not a lawyer, I have no legal experience or skills. These are my opinions, but I hope they may be of use to you. To help you avoid problems.
As a keen sports (wo)man your interest may be cycling, running, gymnastics, whatever. It may even be the martial arts, karate, aikido, or any of a wide range of systems.
My concern here is that you may be out training by yourself, without a partner. Thus – at risk of being mugged or worse.
If you push both your thumbs into his eyes, or hit him on the back of the head with a brick. Both blows will cause the greatest inconvenience, perhaps even death.
There are certain ‘points’ in the body where a strike can cause much damage. As any cricketer or rugby player will tell you. As will most martial arts teachers.
The Incredible Six Inch Death Stick – Yawara-jutsu By: John Roberts-James Yes, it’s true! Yawara-jutsu is one of the old Japanese martial arts. One of its facets includes the use of a short, six-inch plain stick to strike ‘death and terror’ into the opponent.
The ‘experts’ will claim that it is used to jab kyusho or Dim Mak points resulting in severe shock to the system. This is only partly true. One hits vulnerable areas, it is true, but these are not necessarily surface ‘vital points’. They overlie deep nerves or organs which, if hit effectiv...

Self Defense For Women - Start With A Sense Of Confidence By: Jack Krohn Self defense for women has become a huge issue-from domestic violence to date rape, from assault in a parking lot to rapes on a college campus it seems as though women are the prime targets of these crimes, anytime, anywhere.
Hundreds and thousands of rape cases have been reported around the world, and studies and reports clearly show an increasing trend in this direction. Sadly, most cases go unreported-approximately 95%. Same is the case when it comes to murders, sexual ...
