Last week in Sydney, Australia when I was doing a self-defense seminar, a group of us went out to dinner.
When we arrived at the parking structure it was quite full, howeverwe did find parking near some lights.
The problem was that we had to walk through a long distance where the lights were all off.
Even as someone mentioned that they were glad that two Kutainstructors were with them, I felt my hyper-alert mode come alive as I prepared to face violence.
It turned out that no violence occurred that night, however let meanalzye this scenario for you to give you some tips to help you bemore secure.
1) Always park near some lights just in case you return to your vehicle after dark.
2) If you have to walk through a dark section, try to walk alongwith others who are walking or use your cell phone to call your friends to come out to walk you in. There is safety in numbers.
3) Anytime you walk somewhere in public, keep your head up and lookall around for possible signs of danger. Be sure to use yourperipheral vision to see off to your sides. You don't have to turn all the way around to see behind you.
4) Watch for places where a person or persons might try to ambushyou. Example: behind a van or truck, or a concrete column where theycould be standing behind.
5) Arrive a few minutes early so that you can take your time todrive past the entrance so that you'll know where it is in relation to your parking space.
6) Stay AMP'd.
A = Attitude (be willing to do WHATEVER it takes to survive.)
M = Movement (Keep moving or start moving if your standing still.
A moving target is a harder target.)
P = Power Move (Learn how to defend yourself with power and quickness, just in case you need to.)
I hope this has helped you to be more prepared to face danger.
All the best,
Al Abidin

Eye contact self-defense
Eye contact is important for many circumstances, however it could costyour life at times.
Lets take a bear for example (and most other animals). If youdo make eye contact you might become fearful and the bear will seethe fear in your eyes and attack you. Either that or he’ll thinkyou’re challenging him and he’ll attack you.
Try to look at the bear’s claws as you try to stay clear of them.The claws are much less likely to cause you to be afraid. Plus, thebear won’t be able to tell what you’re thinking. He won’t know ifyou’re going to attack or run.
This also applies to the two-legged animal you'll see on the street.If you make eye contact for more than a brief second, he may challengeyou. Either that or he'll read you like a book.
So keep your eyes away from other eyes if you don't want them to knowwhat's inside you, especially when dealing with animals.
Have a great day!

A mother of five was found dead from multiple stab wounds and her boyfriend was found dead with his neck slashed.
The woman had many slash wounds on her hands and arms, which is a good indication she tried to block the path of the stabbing knife.
Most likely she then tried to cover up the wounds on her arms and was then stabbed multiple times in the chest.
The boyfriend, having received only one wound, a slash to the throat, indicates he was probably surprised and quickly taken out.
When a person attacks with a knife it's more likely to be fatal than even a gunshot wound because of the severe bleeding caused by the cutting of the knife.
Don't be fooled by the fancy moves they show in the movies when the star defends against a knife, because there is very LITTLE that one can do when attacked with a knife.
However, here are four things that the top experts recommend:
1) Run.
If you can avoid the person or get away do it immediately! Why stay in danger when it could cost your life? Also, use your sixth sense. If you sense that someone is dangerous get away from them.
2) Kick.
If you can't run and the attacker is about 10 feet away, explode a kick at the attacker's waistline and then use an open hand to hit him or her in the face, then get away.
3) Turn and Hit.
If the attacker is closer than 10 feet you won't have time to kick, so just hit the attacker as step toward him with your body turned away, giving him a smaller target.If he has the knife in his right hand, you'll step in with your right leg and hit him with your right side open hand, and vice versa if he has the knife in his left hand.
4) Don't touch.
Never try to grab the knife because your hand will be cut.
Have a great day!
