ladies remember no one is coming to save
you your protection is up to you
[Music]
my friends today's lesson here at active
self-protection I'm your host John Korea
remember we exist only to help you and
your loved ones protect yourselves from
Criminal violence today we have a
serious video out of Brooklyn New York
it's not particularly graphic but it
does show an assault of a sexual nature
so viewer discretion advised Palm pepper
spray has recently reformulated for even
more effect when you bless the deserving
with the hot sauce Palm is what I use
between a harsh word and a gun and
encourage everyone to do likewise this
lady who looks like she's walking in
workout gear to me with her phone in her
hand this guy's walking behind her is
just going to kind of not pay too much
attention to her she's on her phone a
little bit but then when she turns
around he gets behind her and then
tackles her and then according to the
new story that I've Linked In the
description he forcibly holds her down
and stuffs his hand down her pants and
forcibly touches her in a sexual manner
now she hits him with her phone that
makes him get up and run off cops are
still looking for him this is what this
guy looks like if you have any
information please get a hold of Crime
Stoppers let's get this guy behind bars
before we even learn lessons
oh man this one just makes my blood boil
if you have the ability come and join us
at the ASP National Conference would you
it's all for charity and we do have a
dedicated track for ladies particularly
ladies who are new at self-defense to
grow your skill set so please come and
join us for that would you now I think
that this lady is tirely within her
rights to be out for a walk to be
working out I don't think there's any
problems with what she's wearing it's
2022. people wear this stuff out in
public all the time and and I know some
people are going to say oh well you know
she's dressed provocatively or whatever
but that's hogwash she could literally
be standing there naked and it gives him
no right to touch her in any capacity so
let's make sure that we've got our moral
compass right and be good sane sober
moral prudent people now that said she
is in charge of her own self-defense she
is the one who is going to be her own
first responder so ladies please hear me
on this one you cannot abdicate your
role of self-defender to anyone and you
might say well I live in a nice place or
I live in a safe neighborhood or
whatever and it's daylight here now I
guess it was around 8 P.M but this was
the summer time and so it was you know
the light it was still light and those
kinds of things I want you to recognize
no one is coming to save you it is up to
you so you have to have awareness you
got to pay attention to your world you
got to have a skill set you got to have
a plan to protect yourself if some creep
like this decides that he wants to
attack you because no one else is going
to do that you must have the attitude of
a self-defender and I think a toolkit
something like an OC spray or something
with you while you're working out even a
firearm might be okay certainly going to
be very difficult in New York City but
in many places not and there are many
ways to do that successfully
now I also want you to notice the fact
that she's kind of on her phone here and
I'm not sure she's on her phone in this
moment but at any rate he runs up behind
her to tackle her so when we say talk
about paying attention we talk about
more than our eyes we talk about our
ears now if she's working out there's a
good chance here that she's got
headphones in in order to you know
listen to her Tunes or a podcast or a
book or whatever but you gotta use that
transparency mode or you gotta keep one
ear open so that you can hear what's
coming might have given her a split
second to at least not get tackled from
behind now then he is gonna tackle her
from behind here and now she's on the
ground and and again you are your own
responder here I can't tell you enough
that for anyone I think six months of
Combat Sports six months of jujitsu six
months of you know catch wrestling six
months of [ __ ] six months of good
training of empty-handed skills will
give you basically super powers on the
street and and again just to be able to
protect yourself protect your head and
neck here keep yourself from getting in
a really bad position and understand hey
wait a minute what do I do here to keep
myself safe to start to control this guy
to put myself in a better position and
and I think six months of training just
six months of Jiu Jitsu will at least
get you over the fear of getting smushed
like this lady is getting smushed and
will give you a better time of Defending
yourself I know some people think man
you know I don't want to get you know
and go roll with a bunch of sweaty dudes
or whatever but guess what getting over
that and enables you when this goes down
like this to not emotionally freeze you
you are you know not frozen in that
moment because you're comfortable being
uncomfortable now of course what he does
here is utterly heinous completely
reprehensible and he Bears all the
responsibility for what he does here and
that's nasty and evil but let's see
where everything changes here as he has
got a hold of her and again puts his
hands down her pants but when things
stop is when she turns and hits him with
her cell phone she uses what was
available to her in the moment her cell
phone and whacks him in the head and
that that just that much uh you know
fighting back was enough to get him off
of her was enough to make him go oh wait
a minute this isn't as easy as I thought
and for him to leave and so again what
one of the things that we see from a
statistical perspective is that women
that fight back from sexual assault are
no more likely to be injured than women
who do not fight back from sexual
assaults however the chance of a
completion of a sexual assault is
significantly less that's from a
statistical perspective so fighting back
a very good thing and I think that we
see that here in all of its particulars
now of course I really wish that she had
had the the ability to fight back before
he had actually started his sexual
assault if she had actually had the the
ability to do that the mental presence
to do that she may not have been
assaulted at all he may not got his hand
down her pants which would have been far
less traumatic for her I think this is
traumatic event no matter what you're
going to do about it but it would have
been far less dramatic if she had had
the ability and the the timing to fight
back immediately and I I wish she had
done that I'm not blaming her for not
but I wish she had
so I think the bigger things here
attitude is always the king paying
attention in your space incredibly
important having a few months just six
months of a couple times a week of some
grappling training like Jiu Jitsu or
something like that so that you know
what to do in this kind of instance this
is the kind of evil that exists out
there in our world let's make sure we
can fight it and cover our asp
