Conclusion
I wonder if the great orators of our time lamented over their words before they gave the speech that would unite so many people and motivate them to do something. I pray for those inspirational words – a call to rise and take our safety into our own hands, out of the dangerous grasps of sociopaths and away from the false hope and misleading rhetoric of government officials that there are enough, well-trained officers. You must know that our police officers are over-worked and have a back log of files to work on so that they can only respond in a reactive, defensive manner. It is up to you to take a proactive approach to your safety.
As I wrestled with a way to motivate others, I ran across a verse from the song Call to Rise by Manowar on the album Warriors of the World:
I now issue the call, are you ready to fight - yeah
Fight altogether as one for the right
To be free once again - tonight we will win.
Of course I cannot guarantee that you will be safer if you learn my self defense kata, practice it everyday and implement every one of the safety tips that I offer. At least, you should be stronger. Additionally, I can pray that you never find yourself in a situation where you do have to use your internal power and external force to protect yourself. Although it is too late for a few friends of mine, whom I have memorialized in the credits of my video, W.O.W.’s Fundamentals of Self Defense, it is not too late for you to learn how to defend yourself and set up a curriculum using the Safe-Chi™ kata to help others build their power within.
Best wishes for safety, heath and happiness,
