Mindset and Confidence comes from constant practice and training.

Stop doubting that you simply CAN'T learn how to Defend Yourself because of (fill in Your blank).

It all starts in your mind first.

I'm here to tell you that
Yes you Can and I'm here for you.

"Cuándo dudas de Tú Poder, le das Poder a tus dudas."

La mentalidad y la confianza provienen de la práctica y el entrenamiento constante.

Deja de dudar de que simplemente NO PUEDE aprender a Defenderte debido a (complete tu excusa).

Todo comienza en tu mente.

Estoy aqui para decirte que
Sí puedes y estoy aquí para ti.

There is No such thing as a clean Fight
When it comes to Self-Defense

Here are some of the Weapons
Your body possess

Think Big vs Small
ex: elbows to nose or eyes
(Bigger bone to smaller extremities)

Or

ex: foot to knee cap
(Bigger surfaces area to smaller one way bending joint)

Remember to stay Vigilant, Take Care of One Another and Stay Safe

👊🏼💜👊🏼
-Bridget

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

No existe una lucha limpia
Cuando se trata de Defensa Personal

Estás son algunas de las armas
Tu cuerpo posee

Piensa Grande contra Pequeño

ej.: Codos a la nariz u ojos
(Hueso más grande a extremidades más pequeñas)

O

ej.: Pie a Rodilla
(Área de superficies más grandes a coyuntura de flexión unidireccionales más pequeñas)

Recuerda de mantenerte alerta, cuidarse unos a otros y mantenerte a salvo

👊🏼💜👊🏼

I Challenge you to Listen

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

Cuando debata a una persona acerca de algo que le afecta más de lo que te afecta a ti, recuerde que tendrán un costo emocional mucho mayor en ellos que tu. Para ti puede parecer un ejercicio académico. Para ellos, se puede sientir como revelar su dolor solo para que descartes su experiencia y, a veces, su humanidad. El hecho de que puedas permanecer más tranquilo en estas circunstancias es una consecuencia de tu privilegio, no una mayor objetividad de tu parte. Mantente humilde.

*Important Announcement*
(Please read full post)

Tuesday May 26
will be our Last May online group class.

If you are interested in joining us please let me know.
I'd truly love to have you, even if it's your first time.

*Announcement*
I have been struggling lately going back and forth on what I'm about to say but I have to be honest and true to myself first.

I 1,000% love what I do, please don't doubt it, but ever since all of our world's got turned upside down, I have felt like I've been running on fumes.

In summary both Marco & I lost our main source of income and had to move quick when coming up with a plan B, C & D.

We have made things work and are very blessed, but my plate capacity with our new arrangements has been taxing on me.

For that reason I feel the need to take a little time off, that including posting Technique of the Week and hosting Group Online Classes once our last May class is completed.

This is only temporary.
I will still be working with my 1:1 clients, that will not change.

I need to take care of myself first so that I can continue to hopefully help others.

I hope you all understand and don't see this as me just giving up.

I'll be back in a blink of an eye I promise & I'll try to post occasionally on my stories.

I love you all,
-Bridget

What would you do?

If someone approaches you, puts their hand around your shoulders & tells you not to scream and tries to take you to their car or your car?

Steps:
1. Secure your grip

2. Step back & Duck under

3. Lift their arm behind their back & Push them away to run to safety

Don't forget to practice at home, but be careful when lifting your partners arm up by their shoulder blade, it really does hurt!

Don't forget to Save, Commen, Like & Share.

I'll see you ladies soon!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

¿Qué harías tú?

Si alguien se te acerca, te pone la mano en los hombros y te dice que no grites y trata de llevarte a su carro o a tu carro?

Pasos:

1. Asegura tu agarre

2. Da un paso asia atrás y ahachate

3. Levantele su brazo detrás de si espalda, Empújalo y corre a seguridad

No se te olvide práctica en casa pero ten cuidado con paso # 3, puede ser bastante doloroso.

Recuerda Salvar está Technica, dar le Like, Comentar y Compartir.

Nos vemos pronto!!
