If you ask a kidnapper or child molester, “What is an important abduction secret you don’t want my kids to learn?” I bet they’d say: “Never let us MOVE your kids from the FIRST PLACE we approach them… No matter HOW nice we act, look or sound (It’s not what you say, but how you say it). Why? “Because we want your students to feel safe in the first place. We don’t want them to think we are ‘strange’ or seem ‘bad’ so it’s easy to move them to deserted locations.” By John Hall
A friend of mine was telling a co-worker about Grip, Dip & Spin™ and that person asked this post headline. Which reminded me of the cartoon I watched as a kid in 1974, Hong Kong Phooey. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of martial arts training for kids, but don’t confuse techniques with preparing them to stop abductions. Even Bruce Lee didn’t by saying, “I don’t fear the man who’s practiced 10,000 kicks once, but a man who’s practiced one kick 10,000 times.” Grip, Dip & Spin™ is based on this perspective.
