It's been a few days, so it's healing nicely. Getting shanked in the eye with a hard rubber training knife does not feel so great. So close to losing an eye, so I'm quite thankful that, if I had to get stabbed that the outcome was what occurred. We might need to start wearing plastic face shields going forward.

Almost 5 years later and I finally get to do this! He worked his butt off for this promotion and earned it all the same! Jeosimnida and Congratulations, Tyler!

Safety Advice for Women

A group of prison ra**sts were interviewed to find out what they were looking for in a victim. Here are some important facts:
1) The first thing they notice in a potential victim is their hairstyle. They are more likely to attack a woman with a ponytail, braided, or any other hairstyle that is more easily gripped, or women with long hair. Women with short hair are not common white.
2) The second thing they notice is clothes. They're going to watch women who wear clothes that are easy to rip off quickly. They also look for women talking on their cell phones or doing other things while walking: this indicates that they are inattentive and unarmed and can easily be attacked.
3) The hours of the day when they most attack and r**e women is at the beginning of the morning, between 5:00 am and 8:30 pm, and after 11:30 pm.
4) These men seek to attack in a way and in places that can quickly load the woman to another point, where they do not have to worry about being caught. If you perform any fight reaction, they tend to give up in about a couple of minutes: they think it's not worth it, it's a waste of time.
5) Demonstrated that they do not attack women carrying umbrellas or objects that can be used as a weapon at a certain distance (keys do not intimidate them, because to be used as a gun, the victim has to let them get very close).
6) If someone was following her on a street, walkway or garage, or if she was with someone suspicious in an elevator or stairs, look him directly in the face and ask him something, like "What time is it?" "If he was a ra**st, he would be afraid of being identified later and would lose interest in having her as a victim." The idea is to convince him that it's not worth choosing.
7) If someone presents himself unexpectedly and grabs her, shout! Most ra**sts said he would release a woman who screamed or wasn't afraid to fight him. Again: they look for EASY WHITES. If you yell, you can keep it at a distance and he's likely to run away.
😎 Always pay attention to what happens behind you. In case you notice some strange behaviour, don't ignore it. Follow her instincts. It's preferable to find out that he was wrong and be half-witted in the moment, but rest assured that it would be much worse if the subject actually attacked.
9) In any situation of danger, in case you have to shout, always shout "FIRE! F I R E ! " and many more people will turn up (funny). In case your cry is "Help! "most people don't get close, out of fear.
Do me a favor: spread this information to the women you know and also to the men; they can forward it to their friends, wives, daughters, girlfriends, at last... it's simple things, but they can prevent trauma and even save a life.

For those that are planning on testing this Sat the 21st-Dec; please make sure to have filled out the request forms prior along with fees for testing.

Looking forward to this weekend and for all the students that are planning on testing - allow yourself to make mistakes! It will happen. Continue on and stay confident in your direction. I don't grade for perfection but for progress, attempt, show-of-growth, discipline and focus! ....then maybe perfection :)

Josimnida!
