This is a repost as the price on silver is now record low, right now is the time to invest, I have paid more than US$20 for 1 troy ounce coin one year ago compared to now. Look at the price index for the last 20-30 years and compare, as the demand is higher than the reserves it is a bullet proof investment, the most popular coin the US Silver Eagle could not print enough coins this year due to lack of physical silver, the silver index does not reflect how much silver there is, as ETF is also calculated to the index but ETF is not by 1-1 ratio, there is less silver than what the ETF companies have, if everyone cashed in their ETF the companies would crash as they have as currencies less silver than the what is reflected by their sales of ETF, ETF is buying silver that is kept by a company so the customer doesn’t have to secure it, problem is that they sell more silver than they have.

 This is a guide for the aspects of self defence that is not on top of the list, in most cases and martial arts systems not at all, of vital survival components to keep focus on combat, to minimize the amount of things your brain has to process in combat, it is essential to have a few things cleared to avoid multitasking, which will lead to failure. One study I have read showed that the old paradigm that women are better at multitasking since the Stone Age is BS, scientific studies have shown that multitasking leads too many badly done task, this is not from a political agenda but facts. This about everything else than combative training, it is all the things that IMO are more important than only the hard skills.

1^st it is essential to one day in the near future tell everyone you care for how much they are important for you and that you love them, one can never know when death suddenly shows its ugly face in various forms, so to get assaulted and having to deal with the physical part and emotional will have a negative performance on ones capability to respond fast enough. To never have said the words you wish your family and friends you want them to know, now is the best time as you are alive. So to all my family, friends and amoks, thanks to all of you, I love you all as you have all made my life so more interesting and full of love.

2^nd the securing your family legally and financially, that removes the worry about their future in case you die which will make it hard to focus on surviving and not multitask with worry, that requires a lawyer for a testament and money for them. I have chose to invest in silver and gold coins, that is due to our tax laws, they are tax free and are not regarded as a capital that can be taxed but seen as collectors item and the profit cant be taxed as long it is not by selling huge amounts, I have found a loop hole in the VAT, toll and tax laws and buy silver coins from Estonia as they don’t have VAT and being a member state of the EU, I don’t have to pay VAT as it comes from an EU member state, gold is so cheap that now that I can purchase 1 troy ounce gold coins as the cost is so low that it is below the legal limit for purchasing from abroad, but buying gold coins is cheaper in every European state as its tax free, it is only silver that has VAT except the site I use for all my silver purchased in coins and not bar, as coins are tax and VAT free but bars are not VAT free which is 20% in Denmark. I have searched various sites but this one is the best and I am a very happy customer https://www.libertysilver.ee/en/ , the delivery can be tracked and traced and is the cheapest silver dealer online, created by people with an benevolent libertarian capitalistic agenda, to give everyone the opportunity to invest in the most secure way for when one retires and not exclusively only for the rich elite.

3^rd and most important to have done all the things you dream of, that usually requires money, having silver and gold coins are not only a safe way to invest and later have the funds to realize those dreams, but having a precious metal currency as silver that goes up when the stock or currency goes down, and is needed for all the electronic devices and medical product containing silver sterilize is far more better than gold, as there are huge gold reserves but there has not been any silver reserves for many years, decades, there has been found a huge silver mine in Peru with approximately more than 1 billion ounces, will keep the record low price down. We have cancelled all vacations until the price is back to its projected index price of US$100 pr troy ounce in 5 years time, as it is so cheap now, we prefer to be poor until the index is back to a high again. This gives us sense of security and future local or global catastrophic economics events are good news for our pension fund.

The common thing among these 3 critical points is to be prepared, to have the sense of security and safety for those you love, so when the day comes that all ones combatives skill are needed, one can focus on one single thing, survival and not anything else that can reduce ones response time.

‎THROUGH A RAPIST'S EYES

‎

"THROUGH A RAPIST'S EYES" (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.) Click Share Button to share it on your Wall.

It seems that a lot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not many people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such a situation. Everyone should read this especially each and every girl in this world.

THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG...

Through a rapist's eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women whose clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can't believe it is so cold out here, we're in for a bad winter. Now that you've seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can't beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and
armpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of
trouble. Start causing trouble, and he's out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked
audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, and go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL....

I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go "hmm I must remember that" After reading, forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in
this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans: if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you.... chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS, LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side, peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. (DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB).

b. If you! U are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard /policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers,
wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it's better safe than sorry.

Rauch's Rules

1. All predators are always killers. When they attack, your options for
self-defense are very limited.

2. The predator is smarter than you. Act and react accordingly.

3. Predators will use all the force necessary (and then some) to achieve
their goals, without regard to consequences.

4. Predators evaluate their targets before attacking. If you are attacked,
the predator has determined he will succeed without a heavy cost to
himself.

5. If you are about to become a victim, you have already made serious
mistakes.

6. Believe what you see; don't go into denial. Your attacker won't.

7. In a lethal confrontation, you will only have time to choose one course
of action – and your life depends on making the right choice.

8. Predators rarely act alone, although the ones that do are the most
dangerous. (If there's one, look for two; if there are two, look for
three, etc.)

9. Fear is the predator’s friend and your enemy.

10. Talk and negotiation rarely work.

11. Predators do not have a conscience. Don't waste time and effort
appealing to any sense of mercy or kindness.

12. Some people cannot be frightened or intimidated. Displaying a weapon
may well not solve and, in some cases, may exacerbate the problem. Be
prepared for this.

13. "Bullets don't work." Gene Zink, Former H&K Law Enforcement
Trainer. No hand-held firearm fires a guaranteed "one-shot-stop"
round. Anticipate needing follow-up shots.

14. Firearms don't work all the time and may well not work when you need
them most.

15. Carry only the biggest-caliber gun you can control.

16. Don't be overly concerned about caliber. No one wants to "leak" or
have holes put in him.

17. Carry a reload

18. Carry a second gun.

19. Be able to get to both handguns with either hand

20. Don't assume you can prevail in the conflict due to your superior
tactics and training. The predator only has to be lucky once. Avoiding
him is still the best defense.

21. The honest citizen pitted against a predator is an unequal contest.
The predator is a professional. Most honest citizens are amateurs.

22. No competition or training, no matter how well learned or practiced,
can equal hands-on experience.

23. Predators constantly validate their training with hands-on experience.

24. Getting hands-on experience can be fatal, but survivors learn their
lessons well!

Ankle Kick Snap Down

From Damage Control MMA

If you’ve been following our posts for a while you’ve probably been picking up on the theme that if you’re head gets lowered, you’re going to be hating it. On the flip side of the coin, if you can get your opponent to lower his head for you, it’s time to dish out some pain. Simply look at “The #1 Way to Avoid Paralysis and Fatalities in MMA“, and “The Gotch Toe Hold” (I digress towards the end and begin discussing the broken posture) and you’ll begin to see some of the many dangers of having your head lowered, and the advantages of breaking your opponent’s posture for MMA, Submission Grappling, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Self Defense situations.
Here CSW Coach Chris Regodon shares a unique trick for coaxing your opponent to break his own posture. Coach Chris uses the bottom of his foot to effect the sweep/kick. But I imagine you could also use the front of your shin on the inside corner of your opponent’s shin. I think it would hurt them more, but what you would potentially give your opponent an angle. But as Guro Inosanto likes to say, every technique is 100% legitimate, just not 100% of the time. Perhaps there are times and places for each.
Be sure to weigh in with your ideas and experiences in the comments below. Then tune in next week for DamageControlMMA’s very first Gi Specific technique!
