Hikuta or Kuta

Many people have asked is it Hikuta or Kuta.
Well, most people know our system by the word Hikuta.

This is because Hikuta is the name DOK Lee used in the early 1990's in his marketing effort.

Kuta is the core of all of our movement, however we sometimes refer to it as Hikuta in honor of DOK Lee.

If you have any questions about this feel free to let me know.

All the best!

Aspiring Broadway Dancer Stabbed to Death

'Aspiring Broadway Dancer Stabbed to Death '
Catherine Woods was discovered face down in a pool of blood on the floor of her bedroom. She had been knifed in the neck and hand, and the room was in "disarray, " police said.

What a tragedy to hear about things like this.
I'm not going to say that she shouldn't known self defense, and that if she did she would have survived.
I wasn't there and the article included very little details regarding what happened.

Just knowing self defense isn't always enough, there is also a mindset that goes along with it, as well as some preventative measures.

My prayers go out to the family and loved ones in this difficult time.

Until tomorrow, take care and be aware.

Music store gunman

"Yesterday in Tacoma, Washington a gunman opened fire in a music store, injuring six people, one critically."

I read that line in yesterday's paper, and it was just a reminder to all of us how quickly our world come be turned from calm and peaceful to violent and dangerous, so...

When you are out buying gifts this holiday season, be watchful for those who appear nervous or stressed, and stay clear of them.

Its better for you to let someone who arrived about the same time or even slightly after you to have the space in line or parking space, than for them to pull out a gun or knife and use on you.

What about my rights, you say, I was there first. Well, let's talk about rights. You have the right and responsibility to return safely home so that you can live another day with the hope of a better life.

(Quick side note of how to have a better life- it doesn't get dropped in your lap like a lottery jackpot; no it is earned by consistent hard work in your area of passion and skills, seeking wise counsel from several who you respect along the way, and its topped off with never ending persistence that makes a difference in the lives of other people.)

Have a great holiday season.

All the best,

Al Abidin

Nuts on boats

Did you hear about these crazy people (pirates) that have been 'trying' to rob ships out at sea off the coast of Somalia?

These huge oceanliners are being approached by a small 8 man boat. Okay, they have a machine, and oh, let's not forget their grenade launcher.

This reminds me of the godzilla movies where the police shoot godzilla with machine guns just before he steps on them.

I say pretend to cooperate and then as soon as the small boat is close, crank the wheel hard to the right, and mash the throttle down to the floor.

To add a cherry on top of this dessert, the oceanliner's crew could throw some heavy objects (a large conference table, a 55 gallon drum of whatever, a refrigerator, a large bucket of boiling water), overboard right before the captain runs over these scum.

Have a wonderful day!

Get a Cell phone

Do you have a Cell phone? If not, get one.

If you ever have an emergency you'll be glad you did,
and if you ever see someone getting attacked, you
could call the police. Be careful if you decide to help
the victim, during the attack, its best to have some
very powerful self defense skills in case you need
them.

Have a great day!

Be decisive

Have you been thinking about learning Self Defense, or thinking that I take a class one of these days? If you have been in this mental state, I strongly suggest you stop.

Successful people are decisive in nature. So are the world's healthiest people.

You can't think youself into learning Self Defense. If you've wanting to learn, then go ahead and take action today.

Here's one way to do that. Attend our February seminar.

All the best!

If they can't see you move....

If they can't see you move....How can they stop you from defending yourself?

Remember the last time someone surprised you from behind and you jumped.
You may have even got embarrassed because you jumped. Your 'jump' was so
quick though.

Well, imagine retraining how your body instinctively uses this 'jump/startle'
move to become a Self Defense move. This is Kuta. Every move uses this
quick movement. You'll be moving in the blink of an eye. So if the attacker
blinks he won't see your move, and if he can't see your move its too late
for him.

Have an awesome week.

Self-Defense in the restroom

Here's a self-defense tip for you.
When you are refreshing your face at the sink with water, keep your head up and stay alert.
When you dry your face with a paper towel, only dry one side at a time keeping your head up so that no one can surprise you from behind.

Have a great day!
