Again, another great post from Lynne Marie Wanamaker! This one's an article in a Western Massachusetts paper called The Republican/Girls Just Wanna Have Fun insert. I really like how Lynne Marie takes a really good look at your actual risks, and makes planning for your safety easy as putting on your running shoes. She's teaching this July at Special Training in Oberlin, and I'm looking forward to her classes!I may have two karate black belts, but I am definitely a white-belt runner. But as a National Women's Martial Arts Federation-certified self-defense instructor, I do have a leg up on strategies for keeping safe when I run. It's not that running is an especially dangerous activity. "Stranger-danger" is highly overblown -- most women are not attacked by a menacing stranger, but by someone she knows (often an intimate partner). Still, running can put us into vulnerable situations. By thinking ahead we can make workout choices to further reduce the chance of assault. And all runners -- male and female -- can plan ahead to avoid and survive injury and accident. Here's my list of tips: Be seen. Any time light is low-dawn, twilight, night, or inclement weather, reflective gear is de rigueur. This is one time that bilious phosphorescent yellow is a fashion "do." You will be more visible to motor vehicles, and more memorable to neighborhood folks. Keep in touch. If your running route is not within shouting distance of populated areas, carry a cellphone. Prepare to show ID. Order a snazzy runner's ID with your blood type and an inspirational quote -- or shove an old driver's license into your pocket. Either ensures that rescuers can locate loved ones if you are injured. Leave an itinerary. Tell friends and family your favorite running routes, which one you'll be taking today, and when you should return. I was appalled to realize recently that my sweet darling -- a confirmed couch potato -- has no idea where I disappear to when I walk out the door with my Sauconys on. Now I leave my itinerary on the dining room table. Use all of your senses. Save the iPod for the gym. Use your eyes, ears, nose and intuition to remain aware of your surroundings. Trust yourself if something looks, smells, or feels fishy. Be heard. If someone approaches you in a way that feels unsafe, use your strong voice and declarative statements: "That's close enough," or "Tell me what you want." If they try to touch you or don't respect the limit you set, yell your fool-head off. Don't be afraid to make a scene in the service of keeping yourself safe. Run. Always know where you are and where you can run for help. Save exploration of new trails for an afternoon hike with a group. When running alone, be sure you can sprint to a house or busy road. (If you experience an unexpected injury you will be glad that you don't have far to go to find help.) Fight. It is my sincere wish for every woman reading this that you never have to fight an attacker. But if you do, go for the most vulnerable parts of his body: the eyes, nose, throat, and knees. Consider taking a self-defense class to learn simple, effective fighting techniques. Tell. If you are attacked, seek help immediately for your physical and emotional well-being. It is never your fault that someone made the criminal choice to assault you. By alerting someone you trust, you can heal your body and mind and you may be able to prevent an assault on another woman.

Self-Protection Strategies for Women who Run
My post of Feb 21 was about Lynn Marie Wanamaker's article on raising a strong-voiced girl. Lynn Marie has a way with words, and she's done it again. Lynn Marie has her own blog, and in this posting she winds her way to talking about how to talk safety with her young daughter (who is 6 years old). Here's an excerpt:An episode of playground self-defense offered an opportunity to help Small listen to her instincts and step up to protect others this week. Yesterday Small and I were noodling around on the computer when she wrote this:“I need help ceeping my friend Corey safe from Leo”A lot of prodding led to this story: When Small and Corey run too close to Leo on the playground, he tells them, “Get away or I’ll kill you with a knife.”Small said, “I think it’s a game because it’s fun.”Then she said, “Corey is really scared.”Then she said, “I’m not sure if it’s a game.”Fortunately, we know Leo and his parents and we think he and they are pretty great. So we weren’t too worried about an impending playground massacre.But the teaching moment was before us. My parenting instincts were clear:And if you want to read the rest, click here. You'll go through a few paragraphs before getting to this story, but the journey is worth it.
How to Talk About Safety with Your Six-Year Old Daughter
This article in a California college paper describes a peer program of men learning to recognize when other men are setting women up for sexual assault, and how to interrupt it. There should be programs like this on every college campus. Only a small handful of men commit most of the sexual assault, and until other men hold their buddies accountable and call them on bad behavior, that handful will continue to get away with rape.One drawback, however, to this article is that is characterized all self-defense classes as a "fad" and of limited use because they focused on stranger danger, where the real risk is from acquaintances. The author got it part right. Yes, the real risk is from acquaintances. And yes there are lots of classes marketed as "women's self-defense" that do focus on physical skills and stranger danger. However, that is not true for all self-defense programs. Like any other service marketed in this country, anyone looking for a self-defense program needs to do a little research. The National Coalition Against Sexual Assault's Ad-hoc Committee on Self-Defense set these guidelines for assessing a self-defense instructor and class. The National Women's Martial Arts Federation certifies only those instructors who demonstrate in-depth knowledge of real risk factors, assault dynamics, and patterns of violence against women. VITAL Self-Defense's website has a questionnaire you can use to assess a class you're considering (you have to, however, contact them for the answers to the questions).After all, the best defense against anything is education.
Peer-to-Peer: Beyond Napster, into interrupting assault
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer opened a recent article with these words:"It would come as a surprise to the six Seattle women he's been convicted of attacking, or the family of another he's accused of killing, but Curtis Thompson is a victim. At least according to him."A surprise? Really?Maybe you think that others also think like us. A bad guy is a bad guy, right? (Check out reader responses to this article at the P-I's Soundoff.) But even if you could clearly label certain people perpetrators, can you expect them to agree with and own those roles? Really, most perps don't consider themselves Dr. Evils. Rather, they see themselves as regular guys who just can't get a break, who always get the short end of the stick, who are abandoned by family and friends and society. They are simply not getting their due. They feel entitled to take what should rightfully be theirs. If that sometimes involves a tad of intimidation or even a bit of violence, oh well.Maybe "surprise" wasn't the best word choice. Maybe the article's author should have used the phrase "slap in the face" instead. Most perps don't consider their actions wrong, but their targets and the larger society feels damaged, and the denial of wrong-doing offensive.The fact that so many perps claim that they are the real victims should no longer be surprising. To anyone.Read the article here: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/401457_thompson26.html
Surprised Yet Again!
My colleague Lynne Marie Wanamaker wrote this great article, Raising a Strong-Voiced Girl:http://www.mamazine.com/Pages/feature129.htmlEvery parent should read it.In my last blog entry, Just Yell . . . Part 2, I mentioned that one young teen was confident she'd never be an abduction victim, while her peers worried. Why should any young girl have to be afraid? Aware, yes. Living in fear? Is that what you want for your daughter?Why not teach children, from an early age, to use their voices with spirit?Lynne's new blog (not entirely about self-defense, but a lot of parenting) is at http://www.mindbodymama.com.
Just Yell . . . Every Parent Should Read This
Eleven-year old Carlie Brucia was kidnapped and murdered in Sarasota, Florida, in 2004. Her case made national news when a car-wash surveillance video showing the abduction was broadcast across the country. Many young girls, as well as their parents, were deeply troubled by the apparent ease that this young girl was taken, and later raped and killed.Among viewers were 13 year old Dallas Jessup and many of her friends in Vancouver, Washington. Dallas was certain that because of her martial arts training she'd never be an abduction victim, but many of her friends were not so sure about their own safety. According to Dallas' website, she was asked over and over to show her friends some moves to thwart potential kidnappers. Dallas was inspired to make a home video that could show her friends how they could fight back against a much bigger assailant and still prevail. And that's how Just Yell Fire began.Just Yell Fire grew into a much bigger project, garnering donations, professional production support, and cameo appearances from stars of a popular TV show. Dallas and her friend Catherine Wehage star in multiple scenarios depicting assaults, generally with Catherine portraying the target who falls victim by inaction or ineffective responses, and Dallas then showing the Just Yell Fire response. Interspersed between these vignettes are a "Dating Bill of Rights," with Dallas and Catherine affirming a teen girl's absolute right to control her own bodies and sexuality.Dallas Jessup was a girl on a mission. After releasing the video (available free online), she began running classes for girls and even a "teaching the teacher" program (she purports that "anyone" can become a Certified Instructor in a mere 8 hours) to make the Just Yell Fire method more widely available. The project has lots of energy and resonates with its audience.The vignettes in Just Yell Fire focus on stranger abduction. This is a horrible event, and for many parents their worst nightmare. The video re-enactments are "ripped from the headlines," which does focus on the more sensational and less common forms of assault. Only the last scenario concerns date rape. It's easier for most of us to demonize strangers (just think "stranger danger"), rather than recognizing that the more frequent threats are much closer to home. One of the most important lessons I teach parents of young children is that 90% of sexual assault on children under the age of 12 in Washington State is from people the child (and often the parents) already know, rather than the seedy stranger. This is still true as young children grow to become tweens, then teens, and young adults. For women, the more common assailant is someone you know. Of all the women to whom I've taught self-defense and who had previously been assaulted, the vast majority were targeted by those to whom they gave some measure of trust.According to Feeling Safe: What Girls Say from the Girl Scout Research Institute, kidnapping is a significant concern to girls ages 8 to 12. This concern decreases as girls get older, replaced by rising concerns over being forced to do something sexual, car accidents and disease. As girls get older, act more independently, and have to make more safety judgments and decisions, their awareness and worries do change.Dallas Jessup, young woman still on a mission, is older. Her first project reflected concerns of a younger teen. Now she and her friends have become more independent, and have undoubtedly been dating. Their experiences have changed. I am very interested to see what she comes up with next.
Just Yell . . . Part 2
[Warning: this post has nothing to do with self-defense.]Once upon a time we commemorated separately the birthdays of two of our most prominent presidents. George Washington, the Father of Our Country, had his own birthday party in January; Abraham Lincoln, who presided over one of the most difficult and divisive periods in our nation's history, got his day in February. More recently, added to our nation's pantheon of great men was the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., one of the most influential and inspiring figures in recent history. Rather than adding another day, our presidents are now sharing a birthday. Which we celebrate not on anyone's birthday, but rather on a nearby Monday in order to make it a 3 day weekend so that we Americans can spend the day and our money shopping Presidents' Day sales or taking a trip. So please do your part to stimulate our economy by refraining from productive work -- just buy something.However, if you do feel the need to celebrate a birthday, my mother will turn 88 years old on Monday. Happy birthday, Mom!
All The Presidents' Days
Here's a short video of the usual beginning of Self-Defense 101, a 4 week class. This pop quiz helps you recognize your risk assessment skills.
Self-Defense 101 Pop Quiz: The Movie
My ideal Sunday morning has 2 ingredients: brunch and the Sunday paper. The first section I read is the comics. Every strip gets some notice. This past Sunday's Frank and Ernest, however, deserves closer attention (click on the name to read the strip).Frank is telling Ernest why his relationship with girlfriend Ernestine is in trouble. The dialog goes like this:Frank: You criticize everything she says.Ernest: That just shows I'm a good listener.Frank: And you constantly tell her what a poor dresser she is.Ernest: That just shows how comfortable I am sharing my feelings.Frank: You spend 6 nights a week out with the guys.Ernest: I'm in tune with giving her lots of space.Frank: She says you show no sign of changing.Ernest: That just shows how stable I am.Frank: Ernie, do you realize your relationship has a serious problem?Ernest: I sure do! Ernestine doesn't appreciate me!This is kind of humorous and witty, and it's also close to identical to how abusive boyfriends and husbands begin to justify their violence. So I'm taking this strip on a test-drive. I will begin using it in my self-defense classes to open a discussion about domestic violence, and see how it flies. And, sometime in the future, will report back in this blog about how it went.

The Importance of Not Being Ernest
Author Ellen Snortland has often been in the media advocating for making personal safety and self defense a required class in high schools. Her article One Too Many in the Pasadena Weekly as well as her spotlight on National Public Radio points to the murder of Chelsea King as yet another reason too many to teach kids how to defend themselves.Yet there's a great reluctance to widely add self defense skills to young people's toolboxes. More emphasis and resources are given over to services once they've become victims, or to enacting laws intended to prosecute and punish offenders (but which sometimes result in unwanted consequences, but that's another post). Both these approaches are critical, but that third leg of prevention is keeping real safety from becoming a reality.We are the only creatures on this planet that actively strives to dis-empower large segments of our population by not only not teaching basic personal safety, but often by lying about its efficacy. Once upon a time (about 3 decades ago) conventional wisdom held that women should not fight back lest they get hurt worse. Studies now show that's not true at all, and in fact over 75% of women who even begin to resist assault chase off their assailant. Unfortunately, most women don't know that. And that is truly a crime.
Why Isn't Self Defense Taught in Our Schools?
Maybe you saw a demo at a health fair or shopping mall about women's self-defense, and you're considering taking a class. The group putting on the demo seemed friendly and knowledgeable, and now you're wondering if their program would be a good fit for your needs. Here's two important keys to watch for.In many self-defense demos, you see a male instructor as "attacker" and a female instructor as "defender." So far, so good. Now, who does the talking? Is it a male instructor, or female? Yes, this IS important! If you are teaching women to strongly face a real-life assailant, she should be the one talking to the women in the audience.Second, watch carefully for either (or both) of these two things to happen: the female defender does her moves but in a tentative manner and a male instructor describes her as being "nice" to her attacker," and over the next 10 minutes the demo actors get shifted so a male instructor has taken over showing the moves. Is this empowering for women? (Hint: the answer is no.)I've seen this scenario happen several times now. I have no doubt that these are very nice and well-meaning people, and their techniques can be effective. However, until the women show a real lead in their demos I have a hard time believing that the women they are trying to recruit as students will get two of the most essential self-defense lessons. Which are, of course, to take charge and use your voice.
Attention all women looking for a self defense class
Dr. Patricia Rozee, a well known rape researcher, and Michelle McKenzie are conducting a research project on examining characteristics of rape resistance strategies in completed and attempted rapes. They hope to document the most effective strategies in preventing future rapes. This research is through California State University, Long Beach. They are looking for women, 18 years old or older, who have experienced rape or attempted rape, to take an anonymous, online survey that takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.http://www.raperesistance.org/survey.html
Researchers Looking for Rape Study Respondents
Variation of this article are bubbling up here and there. I'd bet that this story from Boston can be written about almost any college campus in any city, just change the names and titles a bit.No Crackdown on Assaults at Colleges: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/02/25/no_crackdown_on_assaults_at_colleges/?page=fullOr how about this, from National Public Radio?Campus Rape Victims: A Struggle For Justice: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124001493&sc=emafIt's hard enough to get women to report any sexual assault, and it is even more frustrating (and, dare I say, abusive?) when nothing happens. When the perpetrator gets no more than a slap on the wrist, and the survivor gets the nightmares and therapy.When it's estimated that 1 of 5 college girls will experience attempted or actual sexual assault during their time in school, it's long past time that schools stopped being complicit in "boys will be boys."
How Can We Eradicate Rape When It's Not Really Treated as a Crime
That's one of the most common question I get in my self-defense classes. And I think women are very comfortable asking me, as I'm usually the shortest in the room.Well, here's a story of a 74 year old woman fighting off a young, strapping six footer. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/85934442.htmlAs I've mentioned (over and over), persistence is one of the keys in effective defense. And Grandma sure had that!
But What if He's REALLY TALL?
Not much is life is covered by a real guarantee, especially when it involves violence and assault. These tips, however, if diligently followed by would-be perpetrators, WILL WORK!I've read variations of this now on several sites, including Girl with Pen (who attributes authorship to Colleen Jameson) and The Huffington Post's Ellen Snortland (whose book Beauty Bites Beast is THE "why-to"book of self-defense). Sexual Assault Prevention Tips Guaranteed to Work!1. Don’t put drugs in people’s drinks in order to control their behavior.2. When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone!3. If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them!4. NEVER open an unlocked door or window uninvited.5. If you are in an elevator and someone else gets in, DON’T ASSAULT THEM!6. Remember, people go to laundry to do their laundry, do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.7. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public.8. Always be honest with people! Don’t pretend to be a caring friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.9. Don’t forget: you can’t have sex with someone unless they are awake!10. Carry a whistle! If you are worried you might assault someone “on accident” you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can blow it if you do.And, ALWAYS REMEMBER: if you didn’t ask permission and then respect the answer the first time, you are commiting a crime- no matter how “into it” others appear to be.
Sexual Assault Prevention Tips GUARANTEED to Work!
Heck, this article is so short I might as well insert the whole thing:A 24-year-old man arrested Oct.11 for kidnapping, attempted rape and gross sexual imposition said the woman he was visiting had actually been giving him “mixed signals,” according to an Elyria police report.Melvin Jackson III, of Elyria, got naked and tried to have sex with the woman at her Washington Avenue home, the report said. The woman said she invited Jackson over to watch movies, but he began to touch her inappropriately, got undressed and refused to let her leave the room. The woman was able to run to a neighbor’s home and call police.Good self defense on her part! She escaped and called the police. Now, go to the story in The Morning Journal of 10/15/10 to look over the readers' comments. As of the evening of Saturday, Oct 16, they are short and to the point: that poor guy was set up or played. Like, "everyone knows" if a woman invites a guy over to "watch movies," she's "asking for it," right?For all you women reading this, who cherish your freedom of association guaranteed by our great nation's Constitution (including the right to watch a movie with whoever you'd like without that being mistaken for a promise of sex), you are almost certainly sending "mixed signals" to someone. Yes, there are still those who assume that being alone and together means you want "it" (and they're not always men).So here are just a couple of red flags that you should be looking out for. While it's not an all-inclusive list, these are 3 biggies:He makes snide or even outright nasty comments about women in general, or about ex-girlfriends, He seems to want to get intimate very quickly, and gets upset if you're not comfortable with his timetable, andHe ignores you when you have objections or otherwise say no to his plans.For those of you in the Seattle area, this is covered in Session 4 of Self-Defense 101.
"Mixed Signals" is the new "Yes"?
