Continuation From Email:

3) They also look for women on their cell

phone, searching through their purse or doing other

activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4) Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning,

between 5:00a.m. and 8:30a.m.

5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked is

grocery store parking lots . Number two is office

parking lots/garages. Number three is public restrooms.

6) The thing about these men is that they are looking to

grab a woman and quickly move her to another location where they

don’t have to worry about getting caught.

7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year

sentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.

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.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.

10) Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: 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: “I can’t believe it is so cold out here”, “we’re in for a bad

winter.” Now you’ve seen their face and could identify them in a line-up; you lose

appeal as a target.

11) 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.

12) If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a

 huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,)

 yell I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a

 deterrent.

13) If someone grabs you , you can’t beat them with

 strength but you can 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 VERY VERY 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 hurts.

14) 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 a lot of trouble.

 Start causing trouble and he’s out of there.

15) When the guy puts his hands up to you , grab his

 first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with a s 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.

16) 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, go with your

 instincts!!! You may feel a little silly at the time, but you’d

 feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

Important Tips:

1 . Tip from Muay Thai Kickboxing: The elbow is the strongest point

on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in 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 GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

P.S. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF,

 repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into

 anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person

 is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car

 crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body

 in a remote location.

A few days earlier he was admitted into a local hospital in Itaipaiva, Rio de Janeiro for stomach problems. “His impact on the sport of mixed martial arts was profound. His son, Rorion, was credited with developing the concept that became the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and another of his sons, Royce, won the first two UFC tournaments in 1993 and 1994. Two other sons, Rickson and Royler, also competed in MMA.” – Sherdog.com

I had the honor of personally meeting and training with Grandmaster Helio Gracie many years ago. He was a kind gentle old man with a great sense of humor. He will definitely never be forgotten by me and of course the whole mixed martial arts community. I want to take this opportunity to send my condolences to the Gracie family.

Drew Heredia said he and a friend were walking a small dog Dec. 30 when a pit bull jumped on the dog. The unidentified 12-year-old girl reportedly tried to save her dog, prompting the pit bull to turn on her.

Heredia said he jumped on the pit bull and applied a choke hold that he learned while taking classes at a Brazilian jiujitsu studio in southwest Bakersfield.

“It was kind of a heart-pounding moment,” Heredia said. “It was very scary.”

He said he held the dog for 20 minutes until an animal control officer arrived.

“At first, I wanted to kick it, but then I thought it’s not a good idea, because it could get my leg,” Heredia said.

The girl was taken to Mercy Southwest Hospital where she was treated for puncture wounds.

The pit bull was quarantined at the animal control office, where it will be euthanized after 10 days. No one has claimed the dog.

The girl’s dog was injured, but it’s expected to survive. The dog ran away during the attack but returned home Friday afternoon.
