We Can Register Sex Offenders (If They Aren't Hiding) But We Can't Control Their Impulses.

Since earning a black belt in 1977, I've been fascinated with self-protection. During my senior year at Miami University way back when :) I had a documentary assignment and chose to interview people who escaped from attacks and abductions.

From the 11 year-old who crawled under a car to stop a kidnapper with a gun, the 9 year-old who chewed through duct tape, the 16 year-old who hid in her closet...

Or the women who stopped three abductors from tossing her into a van by sitting on the pavement and hugging a light post next to her car in a parking lot...

Or the college student who was being pulled from a laundromat by two guys but luckily slipped on spilled liquid detergent in the doorway and grabbed a table leg to stay.

Their split-second reactions were incredible and surprisingly non-violent because what they did had nothing to do with "fighting back" or battling force against force.

The notion that escaping from predators can be non-violent is counter-intuitive. Because when we think about "self-defense" we associate strength, striking, aggression and violence. After all, Physiologist Walter Cannon discovered the "fight or flight" response when we encounter a threat. So is it either fight or run?

After years of interviewing people who have survived violent confrontations, I've focused on a THIRD response - "FREEZE". And tragically, these first seconds are the most important, and there your kids are… frozen, like deer in headlights.

I developed KID ESCAPE to teach my family below unforgettable skills for these unthinkable moments, I thought you might consider doing the same for yours, if you are open to learning the KID ESCAPE approach.

Warm regards and enjoy moments with your family today,

P.S. After college, while working for General Mills in 1988, I was asked to give a self-protection program for an employee family event; so I began to develop sceanrio-focused training based on my failed abduction studies. One program led to another and to this very day I teach self-defense programs for corporations like Wal-Mart, Procter & Gamble, General Electric and IBM to name a few.

P.P.S. KID ESCAPE is taught in schools from California to New York City (and small towns in between) reaching to date over 128,000 children and counting... The KID ESCAPE DVD received a prestigious "Telly Award" (given out worldwide for video excellence by industry experts) in the "How To" category.

Not totally, but I think I can help out a bit.
