Do The Girl Scouts Of America Have A Self-Defense Program?
Share

COBRA Is Now The Official Self Defense Vendor For The Girl Scouts of West Central Florida and it can be yours too!

How do leaders of the Girl Scouts of West Central Florida choose a partner to help them teach their 18,000 members how to be safe?
These leaders chose a practical, real-world-based self-defense system, not a cage-fighting, sport-based system. And they partnered with a self-defense organization that believes that learning to be safer should be the goal for everyone, no matter their size, level of experience, gender or age. They also partnered with a self-defense organization with the flexibility to offer training for both girls and their parents at Girl Scout camps throughout 8 counties, as well as at local C.O.B.R.A. facilities.

Anti-Bully Program

It all starts with the anti-bully program. The Anti-Bully Response Training is the spearhead for getting new sign ups for different self-defense training offerings. C.O.B.R.A.’s Anti-Bully Response Plan is a law enforcement based anti-bullying program that is non-violent and non-confrontational. The program treats bullying like a crime and follows proven, established protocols to create an evidence trail, a chain of custody, and build a rock solid legal case against the bully.

Parents Train Alongside Their Daughters

One major feature that the Girl Scouts really appreciate is that parents can train alongside their children for a shared experience.
Organizations Value Reality Self-defense Partners

The Girl Scouts of America are now on the long list of major corporations and organizations who have secured C.O.B.R.A. Defense as their official Self-Defense Provider. They enjoy the structure, professionalism and global presence that C.O.B.R.A. provides.

SHOULD YOU KICK A GUY IN THE GROIN? 🤔

A common question we get asked by ladies and older boys in our courses is whether you should kick a guy in the balls in self defence.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is, there are probably better moves.

👉🏼THE SHORT ANSWER

Some people will say that kicking to the balls is strictly off limits, that it is cheating, that it's dishonorable, and that (for males) it violates ‘Bro Code’. Let us be very clear, in a self defence situation, there are no rules. Your only job is to get home safely.

You can cheat, you can lie. You can kick them in the balls. You can use a weapon. A ‘Bro Code’ is between two guys who have mutual respect for each other. This guy clearly has no respect for you. He targeted you because you're easy prey. He does not have good intent or any concern for your welfare.

If you're looking for honour and fighting, you need to take up a sport like boxing or Jujitsu.

There are no rules in self defence. And if you think there are, we can promise you the other guy doesn't think so, and you're going to get hurt.

If you have decided to kick an attacker in the groin, or the situation unfolds that way, be prepared to follow through. Strike it with full fury, as if your life depended on it.

Training to be prepared to kick hard is something we encourage you to think about. If you have never trained to kick, this technique will be harder to perform.

But if you can get in a groin kick, it will definitely hurt! The reason that a kick in the groin is so painful is due to the number of nerves in the groin. Both the testicles and the sc***um are loaded with nerves, and these nerves allow the pain to radiate throughout the body and make a strike there painful.

Most men are not able to get kicked in the groin and then get right back up. That does not mean all men will drop to the ground - some can withstand the pain. If they are motivated by the fact they are trying to attack or abduct you, they are even more likely to be able to withstand the pain. If they do get up, have a back-up plan like a hit to the throat or elbow to the chin.

It will vary, but most men will be incapacitated for around 60 seconds after a good, hard kick to the groin.

👉🏼THE LONG ANSWER

Some people will say that kicking to the groin is something you should definitely try to do in a self defence situation. We don’t entirely agree. Sure, this can hurt your attacker, and if you happen to get a knee or kick to the groin area as you are defending yourself - great!

But the groin is actually a relatively small area to target on the body - there are far more accessible and vulnerable body parts you’ll be able to get to in a real-life situation, such as the eyes and throat. Attacks to these body parts will often be more debilitating to your attacker. While kicking a man in the groin can hurt, it may not drop him to the ground. Some guys can take that hit, so you must be prepared for follow up strikes.

Men are also instinctively protective of this area and can more easily protect their groin without needing to release their grip on you. They can also recover somewhat faster than they can from the searing and blinding pain of damage to their eyes, throat, kidney or solar plexus.

When we look at real-life self defence situations, we also see groin attacks less likely to actually play out. They just don’t work as well. You are left on only one leg in order to knee or kick the groin, hampering your balance and stability. This increases the likelihood of the fight going to the ground, which you want to avoid.

You must also be somewhat close to your attacker to reach the groin. You can’t strike from full arms distance like you can with palm strikes, for example. And if you had your hands up in defence, attempting to de-escalate the situation or feign compliance, you can’t get in a groin kick without telegraphing your move.

It’s far easier to have your hands up in surrender, then to quickly barrel your fists and start attacking the face with hammer fists than it is to shift your weight and get your leg up with enough power to hurt the groin area WITHOUT your attacker seeing the move coming and shifting away to avoid it.

👉🏼THE COBRA ADVICE

We most definitely support groin kicks if you are in a real self-defence situation and that is the area your leg, arm, hand or even your head manages to hit! A sufficient hit in the groin can and will disable a man to some extent at least, hopefully giving you enough time to run away. You should never feel like this area is off limits. But equally, the groin shouldn’t be your number one target at the expense of more easily hit areas that might enable a faster and more efficient escape.

Stay safe and follow COBRA Sunshine Coast for tips and advice. Because you are worth it 🤟🏼

How to Practice Self-Defense Through Awareness

It's dark, you're walking down the street and you're all alone. But it doesn't feel like you're all alone. Your gut sends signals that an unseen person is watching. He's probably harmless, but for all you know, he's sizing you up, deciding whether or not to sneak up from behind you, stick a gun in your back and take your property. The scenario may seem dramatic, or like the plot of an unoriginal television crime show, but it's a terrifying reality for many people.

How to Choose the Right Self-Defense Program, You Want to Get it Right the First Time.

10 Considerations and Questions to Ask When Choosing a Self-Defense Program How to Choose the Right Self-Defense Program, You Want to Get it Right the First Time. 1.

10 Considerations and Questions to Ask When Choosing a Self-Defense Program

How to Choose the Right Self-Defense Program, You Want to Get it Right the First Time.


1.Does the program come from real life training and experience in a field that deals with violence and criminals? This excludes sports, theory-based self defense, power point training and is, by nature, more than knowing how to kick and punch. You want the self-defense programs primary training focus to be defending and dealing with violence from a criminal.

2.Where are the instructors getting their lesson plans? This is very important. Many programs do not have a structured and organized written curriculum. It’s the equivalent to attending school and your teacher scribbles out the lesson plan on the same day.

3.Do students get a training manual? A step by step manual is a valuable learning tool, especially when learning self-defense.

4.Does the program and do the instructors operate from a single and organized source or is everyone flying solo? It’s not difficult to obtain a certification in something, however after that, what is in place that maintains quality control, consistency, and professionalism? Checks and balances are very important.

5.Does the program have specific training for what they are advertising that they teach? If your child needs training to deal with a bully, the program you pick should have legitimate experience and training in this area. This should be across that board. Whether it’s a corporation or training teens, ask how and what are your qualifications to teach that market.

6.Can I verify with the affiliate company you are with that you are in good standing? This is if they are part of and receive their training from an affiliate organization. If they are a stand-alone system, ask if they have company or client references that you can verify. Social proof is very important, especially when it involves training that needs to work in real life.

7.Is this program a brand or a single location? This is important especially when it comes to creating and developing a consistent, organized and professional end product. Brands of all types are widely preferred by the market over a small mom-and-pop type of service.

The market desires a refined and proven product and that’s what a brand name brings. They also feel more comfortable spending money with an established brand that they can do research on. Examples: Amazon, Starbucks, NFL. Just because it isn’t a brand doesn’t mean the program isn’t of high quality. It’s just very important to ask the right questions and do your research.

8.How long has the program been around? Anyone can open a business. Staying in business is where the real work begins. A long-established business usually (but not always) indicates that the company is successful, professional, and offering a great product. You don’t want them to go out of business before your membership runs out.

9.If you are a company/business/corporation and are looking for a self-defense trainer, ask how many companies has the program trained? Both large and small. A professional and legitimate self-defense company who has specific training for specific businesses should be able to provide an extensive client list.

10.Where do you and your instructors get on-going training? When you get a certification to teach self-defense, you are letting everyone know that you offer realistic self-defense training that could save someone’s life in the real world. It’s critical for a self-defense professional to keep their training up to date. Physical techniques are a perishable skill and knowledge of how criminals operate is always changing. Manuals, videos, consultations and in person physical training are all great ways to stay up to speed on reality self-defense training if you are and instructor.

One More Very Important Consideration:
If the instructor / system /company speaks negativity or in a derogatory manner about other programs, you may want to hold on to your money and keep looking. Trying sell your service by putting other services down is very unprofessional in any industry. If you are seeking out life saving training for yourself / family and you are met with unprofessional statements before your very first class, you should really consider if joining such a program is the right decision.

Keep This in Mind

large reality self-defense classes One of the most important, if not the most important skill a person could posses is the ability to stay safe and stop a violent threat. This has nothing to do with a sport, winning a trophy or title belt. Watching YouTube videos or adopting ideas from hearsay, example “ I will put my keys between my fingers and hit him in the eye” just won’t cut it. Cell phone safety Apps, pepper spray and many other commonly used crutches are used so people can avoid committing to physically training.

Your safety and safety of your family is the most thing in the world. Ask the hard questions, do your research and be sure that the self-defense company you pick for your training is legitimately qualified to teach reality self-defense.
