In Home Self Defense

Sunday, December 18th, 2011

The following story is about an in home self defense that also is applicable in an office environment. There are many forms of in home self defense available on DVD by a variety of experts. Frank Cucci is a proven authority on in home self defense.

Unlike most people, Bridget hated quitting time.  She wasn’t a workaholic or anything, but ever since her company moved its office to save on expenses, she dreaded the thought of the four block walk to the parking garage.

Winter made things worse.  On top of feeling cold, Bridget couldn’t stand to walk down the street in the dark.  In the middle of December, four in the afternoon may as well have been four in the morning. More and more it became obvious to her that having knowledge of unarmed combat and in home self defense would provide greater peace of mind that she could effectively defend herself if attacked.

Adding insult to injury, her office manager had banned anything that could be perceived as a weapon from the workplace.  Bridget couldn’t bring her pepper spray to work, nor could she invest in a stun gun.  Showing up at the office with anything she could use to defend herself would get her fired. She needed some form of in home self defense to protect herself. Unarmed combat techniques is what she needed to learn.

When the New York rolled around, Bridget vowed to get control of things.  She liked her job – and her paycheck -way too much to just give it up.  She thought about taking a martial arts course, but that would eat up more time out of her day.

Surfing the web for ideas, she stumbled across one name again and again.  Frank Cucci.

Wondering why so many people were talking about Frank’s revolutionary self-defense system, she discovered that he picked up some amazing techniques after spending over a decade as a Navy Seal.  Behind enemy lines, you can’t afford to use something that doesn’t work – the first time.

Watching Frank’s video, she studied how he blended moves from different disciplines.  Nobody else would even think to mix up Bruce Lee’s fighting moves with straight up roadhouse brawling. It’s what works, Bridget realized, and she didn’t have to be a star martial artist to make it work for her.

A few weeks later, Bridget’s co-workers complained about stuff missing from their desks.  She didn’t think too much about it until she took the stairwell to the lunchroom -and stumbled into an office thief!

All this time, she had worried about that awful walk to the garage, when the real threat was right in her own building!

Bridget didn’t waste any time, since Frank’s visceral learning style put all those key moves into “muscle memory.”  Before he could reach for a weapon, that thief found himself totally subdued – by a five foot two inch tall office worker!

And for the first time in months, Bridget walked to her car feeling totally confident in her surroundings.

Urban Knockout Game Self Defense

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

When headlines broke of the loss of life of a 72 year old male in St. Louis as a result of falling victim to a urban knockout game, I was horrified along with the rest of America.  It hit home hard because my mother and father, both in their sixties, live on their own.  Nobody’s son or daughter could desire that a parent go through this ruthless way of evildoing in which the perpetrator needs no provocation to thrash the target.  Thus, I lost no time searching for reliable urban knockout game self-defense.

Although I clearly lead a significant different life than mom and dad, I knew that I could depend on pepper spray to suit all three of us.  I was not looking for just any type, though, given that we were not preparing towards just any thug.  We are dealing with hoodlums that are not out to mug or even rob anyone.  They pick random targets on the street and beat these targets up for almost no reason.

For virtually any airtight urban knockout game self defense, Wildfire pepper spray will protect you against an attacker. It’s 18% intense concentration spray also comes in a gel which is even more effective. Besides creating an extreme burning pain in the skin, it makes the eyes slam shut and restricts breathing. These effects take place unbelievably fast and stop a group of attacker in their tracks.

I looked to a Wildfire pepper spray to offer urban knockout game self defense because it is an especially hot pepper spray combined with identifying UV dye.  The 4 oz cylinder can fire out some 20 quick bursts for a good 15 to 18 feet.  My parents were certain to feel relief upon learning that all it takes to use their defense spray is to aim and fire like they would any kind of spray can.  Plus the amount of OC pepper spray per can should be enough to deter multiple attackers. But the idea to secure fool proof urban knockout game self defense is not to work like the sadistic executioner.  It’s reassuring thou, that all Wildfire self defense sprays in stream, fogger and gel are non-lethal weapons and don’t take lives.

How to Protect Yourself Against Teen Knockout Game Attacks

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

Residents of South St Louis need not feel defenseless against being victimized by the senseless teen knockout game attacks. Violent crime is real in our urban St. Louis community and the brutal teenage Knockout Game continues to claim more innocent victims. There are non-lethal means of self defense and personal protection products available online that are extremely effective at stopping such an attack. Wildfire pepper spray Gel and the Stun Master Mini stun baton are being selected more than ever as an effective non-lethal means of personal protection and security.

Do  St. Louis city residents and commuters to downtown really need to protect themselves from being attacked  and victimized by these urban thugs?

In April an elderly man and his wife were attacked by a swarm of urban teenagers playing “the knockout game” while walking home from the grocery store in South City. They brutally attacked this innocent couple and killed the elderly man.

In June a mob of black youths beat a gay man near a MetroLink/Metro Bus station while commuting to work at the St. Louis Galleria Mall and this violent crime took place in St. Louis County during the day.

In August more black teen mobs began targeting and attacking St. Louis cyclist in this ridiculous Knockout Game.

In September near Tower Grove Park a 73-year old man was knocked unconscious. Another apparent victim of the violent knockout game. We’ve got roving bands of urban teenagers slugging people just for the hell of  it? That’s truly a scary scenario for those of us utilizing public transportation and must commute. And if you don’t, there’s a possibility that someone you care about and love will become a victim of this senseless crime.

In October St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay was the first person on the scene and personally witnessed a man being beaten unconscious by a swarm of roving teens. Another innocent victim of the brutal “Knockout Game”. The attack resulted in the victim suffering a shattered jaw and several broken bones in his face.

There now have been as many as a dozen attacks but these are the ones that have been reported to the police. I’m sure there are more victims but for whatever the reason never reported being attacked.

In November the madness continues and there have been two more South City residents victimized by the knockout game. Knockout game self defense is now a necessity for any one using public transportation and commuting through the urban streets of  St. Louis City.

St. Louis Metro Bus Commuter Attacked and Raped

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

It’s hard to believe that some creep could force a woman off a Metro Bus at gunpoint while other riders on the bus just watched. I understand the thug had a gun but couldn’t  someone alert the driver to contact police? Another sad example that the only person you can count on to come to your defense when being victimized is YOU! 

Also, never allow an attacker to take you to a second location. Your chances of getting help and survival are much greater if you remain at the site of the initial assault. Why?…because an abductor wants to take you somewhere he’s comfortable and there aren’t any witnesses to the crime. Which means he can kill you then dump your body when he’s done raping you and whatever else he has in mind.

Non-lethal personal protection such as a stun gun or key chain pepper spray are available online. An extremely effective Wildfire pepper spray is only $10. But sadly, most women spend hundreds of dollars on make-up and cosmetics but won’t invest in a self defense product that can save their life!

How a Taser M26C Can Protect St Louis Retail Store Owners

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

The following story is just one example of how  the Taser M26C can protect St. Louis store owners and retail shops…

Freddy started hanging around old man Benson’s sporting goods store when he was just ten years old.  Now sixteen, and saving up his cash for college, he ran the cash register on weekends when the owner took a few hours off to spend time with his daughter and grandkids.

Weekend afternoons were pretty quiet in the urban St. Louis neighborhood.  Most folks did their shopping at the mall these days, though many of the downtown St. Louis office workers still stopped by during the week.  For Freddy, it usually meant a chance to catch up on inventory or even the rare opportunity to get some more homework done.

Melissa, who helped her father run the store, had spent some time and energy upgrading the store’s security in the past few months.  She and her father didn’t believe in stashing a gun behind the counter – they didn’t want to run the risk that it might be used against them, or stolen at night and used in some other violent crime.

So Melissa picked up a Taser M26C.  She figured that if someone came in and threatened her father or one of her clerks, they could point and shoot it just like a gun.

As the Bensons enjoyed their afternoon in the park, Freddy caught up on some of his school work.  He couldn’t wait to enroll in pre-med courses that fall.  As he looked up from his textbook, he noticed an unfamiliar figure hovering around the store.  The guy was easily a foot taller than Freddy, and weighed about two hundred fifty pounds.

“Can I help you?” Freddy shouted.

The man darted his eyes at Freddy in between glances at the four corners of the store.

Freddy leaned up off his chair, and asked, “Is there something I can help you find?”

Suddenly, the man darted toward Freddy, eyes ablaze.  He bellowed, “Yeah, You can help me find all the money in your cash register, punk! And when you’re done with that, I want you to come in to the back room and get that safe open!”

Freddy noticed a bulge in the man’s sweatshirt, and didn’t want to risk what might happen if that was any kind of weapon.  In a split second, he grabbed the Taser M26C  from underneath the counter.  Freddy locked the laser sight onto his target and pulled the trigger.

Even though the robber was fifteen feet away, two small darts found their mark and channeled 50,000 volts of electricity over the pair of wires.  The criminal collapsed, and Freddy knew from biology class that the attacker’s muscles wouldn’t stop contracting until he was stuck in the fetal position.

After the cops and paramedics arrived, Freddy learned that the St. Louis robber was high on meth, looking for cash for a quick score.  Without the Taser M26C, who knows what he might have done.  Freddy knew that, in that state, the guy could even have survived a gunshot and still done some serious damage.

Closing the downtown St. Louis store that day, he couldn’t wait to swing by Tower Grove Park and give Melissa the news.

Crime Is Real, Don’t Be a Victim!

P.S., protect yourself with the same equipment that law enforcement professionals use.  Learn how to get your very own Taser M26C.

 


St Louis Mayor Francis Slay Witnesses Brutal Knockout Game

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

Crime is real in the city of St. Louis as the mayor of St. Louis , Mo discovered himself recently. The ridiculous knockout game has claimed another innocent St. Louis city resident as its victim. Non-lethal personal protection products are an effective form of self defense for anyone not comfortable with using lethal force such as a handgun for self defense against being victimized by street thugs.

Urban crime is real in our St. Louis community  and we all better be prepared to protect ourselves from being the next FBI crime statistic. Civic leaders can bitch and moan all they want about how St. Louis is being unfairly portrayed by the media. But now the St. Louis city mayor has witnessed the violence of some urban teenagers himself. It’s common sense, no one wants to live or visit an urban community where they can be frequently targeted by street thugs searching for an innocent victim to brutally attack.  Let’s be honest, no one cares to raise a child or family in such an environment. Unfortunately many of the good hardworking residence of the city don’t have a choice.

Mace Hot Walkers Personal Protection for Female Joggers and Walkers

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

This parent purchased Mace Hot Walkers as non lethal personal protection for his daughter living in St. Louis…

Bill always worried about his daughter, Josie.  She always had that independent streak growing up.  The past Thanksgiving, she announced to the family that she would be moving to the big city to work on her acting career.

When Josie’s sister wondered aloud if Josie would keep up her workout routine, Josie assured everyone that she’d still get her three mile walk in everyday by strolling through the park.  It didn’t take long for sparks to fly across the dinner table.

Bill resolved that he’d support his daughter, no matter what.  So at Christmas time, a few days before Josie planned to leave town, he picked up an extra gift.

“Josie,” he said, when he sat her down at the next family gathering, “I’m sorry if it sounded like I wasn’t behind you all the way the last time we all were together.”

“I know, Dad,” said Josie, “the city’s a lot different that this town, and you just want me to be safe.”

“That’s right,” Bill replied, “so when I heard about these, I thought they might help both of us feel a little better about your move.”

He explained how the Hot Walkers looked and felt just like a regular pair of aerobic hand weights, the kind people use to keep their hearts in good shape. This cleverly disguised pepper spray is an excellent way a woman can defend herself if attacked while walking, jogging or running on the St. Louis city urban bike trails.

“These weights keep you just in case,” Bill explained.  ”Let’s say you run into someone who wants to hurt you.  Just press this button right here to blast them with pepper spray.  They won’t be able to do much of anything for a while, so you can run and get help.”

“I know you want to keep the same king of independence you’re used to out here in the country,” Bill paused, placing a hand on Josie’s knee.  ”This lets you stay in control, and it’ll keep me and your sister from worrying about you on those walks.” Parents often wonder…is downtown St. Louis safe?

Josie hugged her dad, and settled in for warm celebration with the rest of her family.  This time, everyone knew she could handle living on her own in the big city. Downtown St. Louis living requires residents,visitors and tourist to be vigilant about always being aware of their surroundings. Hot Walkers are effective as an urban self defense  and urban street defense weapon.

Stun Master 300-S Non-Lethal Self Defense Weapon for Women

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Sara loved her job.  She just hated the senseless violent crime that frequently occurred in the urban neighborhood.

Managing one of the trendiest nightclubs in St. Louis, she got to spend her evenings rubbing elbows with rock stars, actors, and many of the city’s elite.  Her boss converted an old warehouse by the docks into a fantasy world for their guests.  It kept costs down, but it also made for a pretty treacherous walk down to the parking lot at 4am.

Sara’s boss really cared about her, since she kept the place running so smoothly.  She refused to let him pay for a car service so he gave her a Stun Master 300-S stun gun.  She remembered how he asked her to hold it by the strap when walking down the block, “just in case.” The Stun Master 300-S non- lethal self defense weapon would stop any assailant in their tracks if needed for personal protection.

One Saturday night while working in St. Louis, Sara couldn’t wait to get home.  It felt like she spent the whole night breaking up arguments and kicking drunken guys out of the club.  As she marched up the block to her car, two of those guys dropped out of the shadows.

“Hey, you!” called the tall one.  Sara knew from her years of experience not to bother responding.

“You think you’re too good to serve us? You think you’re too good to talk to us?” shouted his companion.

The tall one slid right in front of Sara, blocking her path.  She clutched her car’s  key fob in one hand while she dug her other hand into her satchel and wrapped it around the strap of her Stun Master stun gun.

“Where do you think you’re going?” asked the tall one, while the other man just snickered.  He lunged for Sara’s left hand, and she pressed the panic button on her car remote.  Wailing horns pierced the silence of the back alley.

As her attacker gripped her left arm, she lunged at him with the Stun Master stun gun.  Even though he held on to Sara, she couldn’t feel any of the 300,000 volts flowing into his body.  As he fell, his other hand knocked the Stun Master stun gun away from Sara.  It snapped free of the wrist strap and landed on top of him as he curled up on the ground.

The smaller attacker leaped at his buddy and grabbed the Stun Master stun gun.

“I’ll show you!” he cried, as he pounced on Sara.  He dug the Stun Master into her abdomen and tried to activate it, not realizing that the wrist strap also serves a s a disable pin –  once the Stun Master stun gun left Sara’s hands, it was useless.

Tina didn’t get her job on looks alone.  She kicked her attacker in the shin and clocked him on the jaw as a pair of St. Louis police officers raced to the scene of the struggle.  She made a mental note to thank her boss for the gift – and to ask for a raise.

Crime Is Real, Don’t Be a Victim!

P.S. protect yourself from attackers at close range with the same powerful Stun Master 300-S that Sara used.


Strategies for Survival in Urban Cities Like St Louis, MO

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Large urban cities like St. Louis, MO  are areas of economic prosperity however they also attract criminals.  Sad to say, there are those on the street that are looking to victimize anyone who’s alone or appears weak. There are some that perpetrate lawlessness by taking advantage of a dense population.  Whenever there are too many people in a single place, cops have hard time pursuing criminals.  St Louis Metropolitan Police are overwhelmed and can’t be expected to protect all the residence, visitors and commuters in the St. Louis urban community.

The best option for you is to protect yourself with an urban safety kit.  This is next to having a personal bodyguard in one compact form.  Everything that you should keep yourself and your household out of harms way is in one special purpose kit.  That eliminates the inconvenience of purchasing one item each time if and only when the need arises.

Both men and women usually purchase home and personal protection devices after they’ve already been victimized. Soon after a burglary takes place, that is the moment they purchase self defense and security equipment.  Preferably, an urban safety kit is purchased in anticipation of virtually any emergency.  As terrifying as it seems, it can be rejected that city inhabitants are a lot more vulnerable to falling victim to attackers whether they are at home or at the office, or in school.

Having an urban safety kit in the house prepares you for just about anything.  In case a burglar lurks inside while you are on vacation, an auto dialer can alert you.  Just before that can happen, you can already set up a magnetic door alarm in the main entrance to the house.  These gadgets plus other helpful alarm tools can be obtained in a complete home security package, one example of which is the Safe Family Life Being Safe At Home survival kit – Advanced System.

Apart from security items, the bundle has instructional manuals and also DVDs that will show you the proper way of employing them.  Being aware of how to correctly utilize them is just as important as the tools themselves.  When joined together, you get a foolproof urban safety kit which was put together by experts and is very practical and affordable.

Learn How Washington University Students Can Defend Themselves Against Street Crime

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

18% WILDFIRE pepper spray GEL

First of all, be aware of your surroundings when walking or jogging and it only requires students to use common sense. Criminals frequently target victims they observe are distracted by conversation on a cell phone, texting, electronic games, etc.

Also, when commuting to class on or off campus avoid alleys and walking paths where a mugger could hide to launch a surprise attack.  This is especially important if you use public transportation such as MetroLink or MetroBus traveling alone at night.  Washington University St. Louis offers a shuttle service for its students and I recommend all students utilize this valuable service.

Lastly, go online and research the many methods of non-lethal personal security for college students available to protect university students from being victimized.  For example, Wildfire pepper spray gel is a very effective non-lethal self-defense weapon that can be easily concealed in your hand while commuting to your urban university.
