HIT Self Defense: Time to Talk to Your Kids: Chelsea King

First, as always, let me say that this blog is only meant to discuss proactive measures. I do not mean to imply that parents of missing children did anything wrong. These are only suggestions. My heart goes out to anyone whose child has been involved in a violent crime. Also, just as important, even when we follow all of the safety guidelines, bad things can still happen.
Talk to your kids. We’ve posted this a few times over the last year. Have a heart to heart and discuss the ‘realities’ of the world: there are bad people out there who will target you because you’re young. Our kids have to understand that it’s o.k. to say ‘no’… that in order to survive, sometimes we have to fight back. We have to fight back with everything we have to create a moment of opportunity and escape.
Secondly, get your kids into a self defense class. What is one Saturday out of their lives? What they learn could possibly be the difference between life and death. Anyone in the San Diego area, contact my office for more information on my private courses. Sometimes we get a gaggle of kids and teens (with their parents) who take the course and the experience is a lot of fun. If you can’t make any of my classes, look us up on Youtube (hitadministrator). There are some valuable clips on self defense. Finally, buy the DVD and sign up for program. $19.99 is very insignificant if the safety of your child is in question. The DVD gives you and your kids preventative tactics and also demonstrates how to stop an attack and get to a place of safety. There are exercises which you can practice with your children to help them train. In addition to the DVD, you get a monthly eNewsletter and private video blogs we send out to our members.
Here is a quick clip from the DVD. This has to do with outdoor exercise and some preventative measures to take so you do not look like a potential target.
Our thoughts go out to Chelsea’s family.
Get the HIT Kit/Empower Yourself.
The HIT Kit includes: The HIT DVD; a monthly eNewsletter; and special video blogs sent to you with training updates, as well as, my personal interviews with police officers and other experts in the field. There may also be some clandestine shooting of real people making critical mistakes out in the real world (they may be surprised when I approach them and show them their footage).
