This is not inflammatory.

This is the Art of Self Defense.

It is my hope that when people hear this episode, they can walk away eager or at least curious to learn any new methods of self defense to help resist victimization, encroachment, and manipulation.

Instrumentalize yourself. Your mind, your body, your spirit.

Strength in the body, Knowledge in the mind, Courage in the heart = Empowerment.
