Hi all, i'm going to do a new clinic in a few days for a local organization and wanted your thoughts/criticisms/ideas before i did a final draft.
It works like this: we'll spend about half the time doing awareness and defense against and attacker. Simple stuff we all know. Then I plan to change it up a little:
Statistically, our chances of being injured in an attack are miniscule compared to other ways of being hurt or killed. According to cdc statistics, assault and homicide don't even make the top ten once you get out of your twenties. So self-defense should include:
attention to diet
careful driving
having a fire plan
knowledge of first aid
reducing stress
basic fitness
seeing to your personal relationships
going on vacation
Anybody have anything to add to the list? Any questions or comments I should consider before going forward?
Also, one real specific question: i go back and forth on actually showing the cdc stats. On the one hand it makes my point, on the other it's pretty dark to be showing a bunch of noobs.
Thanks all
