The second story is about a father in the UK who fights back against armed home invaders to save his children. Finally, we read a letter from a wife who predicted her own murder by her husband by way of poisoning. There is some mild PG-13 language a couple of times, but it is as a quote from a news sto ...

Self-Defense Show 070[MOSTLY CLEAN] We review the book "Lucky" by Alice Sebold. Except for one explicit yet non-gratuitous quote from the book, the language in this episode is clean. The main part of the show is a bit shorter then normal just because we were pressed for time. However, there is some good bonus "recorded in the car" stuff after the ending music to fill out the hour. In the book, Alice Sebold tells her story of how she was raped and all the repercussion of that violent act on her life. This ...

Self-Defense Show 069[CLEAN] At last! Talk of physical resistance (offensive) techniques!!! I know you all out there have been waiting for it. Now, here it is. After 68 previous episodes on all kinds of other violence protection issues, I feel there is finally enough in the can to go ahead and talk about this over emphasized subject. Now it's in the correct proportion to the other topics covered. 1/69th of effective self-defense is physical offense techniques! LOL Well, sort of. Anyway, Charles is alo ...

Self-Defense Show 068[CLEAN] We talk about the 30 warning signs of an abusive boyfriend or husband. Not all abusive partners have these signs, but most do. And abusers don't need to have all of these characteristics either. However, if a partner does show several of these traits, it should raise your concern. If they show most of these signs, that should be a huge red flag. We use Gavin De Becker's The Gift of Fear book for our discussion reference here.

Self-Defense Show 066[CLEAN] What do you do if the police pull you over in a traffic stop? How can you assert your rights and maximize your legal survival? What things should you say and do, and maybe more importantly, what things should you NOT say or do? Knowing your legal rights in a traffic stop helps you avoid violation. Understanding what the officer is thinking also smooths your interaction with them. This is the first in a 2 or 3 (we're not sure yet) part series that will inform you of all the ins ...
