TO EMPOWER WOMEN
MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.
NOEL KAUANUI JOINS US
THIS MORNING WITH ALL OF
THE AWESOME DETAILS.
GOOD MORNING.
SO THIS IS A
WONDERFUL SEMINAR, SUCH
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
WHAT IS WOMEN EMPOWERED?
WOMEN EMPOWERED IS A
GRACIE PROGRAM THAT WE
HAVE THAT TEACHES WOMEN
OF ALL AGES 13 AND OVER
HOW TO PROTECT
THEMSELVES IN THE FOUR
MOST COMMON PHASES OF
ATTACK OR ASSAULT
SITUATION SNCHTS AND
THIS IS A FREE SEMINAR.
IT IS A FREE SEMINAR.
WHEN IS IT?
HOW CAN WE GET INVOLVED?
IT IS AUGUST 18TH
WHICH IS A SATURDAY FROM
9:00-11:00 A.M. AT OUR
JUJITSU ACADEMY AND
LEARN' FEW BASIC
TECHNIQUES THAT COULD
HELP THEM IN AN ASSAULT
SITUATION.
IS THERE AN AGE
RESTRICTION?
THERE IS.
WE ASK THAT IT BE 13 AND
OLDER BECAUSE WE DO TALK
ABOUT A FEW TOPICS THAT
MIGHT MIGHT BE SOMETHING
YOUNGER EARS DON'T WANT
TO HEAR .
AS FAR AS HOW OLD THEY
CAN BE, WE'VE HAD 70,
80-YEAR-OLD WOMEN.
WE HOPE IT'S SOMETHING
WOMEN OF ALL AGES WILL
COME AND EXPERIENCE.
DEAFLY.
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
WE HEAR SO MANY TIMES OF
ALL THESE REPORTS OF
ASSAULTS.
IT'S GOOD TO ACTUALLY BE
ABLE TO DEFEND YOURSELF.
SO WHAT IS THE MAIN GOAL
OF THIS?
THE MAIN GOAL IS JUST
ONE TO MAKE WOMEN MORE
AWARE THAT THESE THINGS
ARE GOING ON EVEN HERE
IN HAWAI'I, AND ON TOP
OF THAT, ALSO TO
UNDERSTAND THAT IT
DOESN'T TAKE A LOT OF
STRENGTH.
YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW
THAT LEVERAGE AND
TECHNIQUE IS ALL IT
TAKES TO HELP DEFENDANT
YOURSELF.
PRACTICING SOME OF
THE MOVES.
TALK ABOUT LEVERAGING
BODY WEIGHT.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING
TO SHOW YOU GUYS SOME
MOVES IN JUST A LITTLE
BIT.
WHAT MAKES YOUR GUY'S
PROGRAM DIFFERENT FROM
ANY OTHER SELF-DEFENSE
CLASS.
THE GRACIE FAMILY HAS
STARTED THIS PROGRAM,
AND THE GREAT THING
ABOUT IT IS A LOT OF
SELF-DEFENSE PROGRAMS
TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN AN ASSAULT FIRST
STARTS.
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
SOMEONE APPROACHES YOU
AND YOU'RE MAYBE IN A
STANDING POSITION.
BUT THE AWESOME ABOUT
THE WOMEN EMPOWERED
PROGRAM IS THEY FOCUS ON
FOUR PHASES AND ONE IS
STANDING, BUT TWO IS
WHAT IF THEY GRAB YOU
AND ACTUALLY GET AHOLD
OF YOU AND WHAT IF THEY
TAKE YOU TO THE GROUND,
AND THE ATTACK IS ON THE
GROUND.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT THEY REALLY EXCEL
AT COMPARED TO SOME
OTHER SELF-DEFENSE
PROGRAMS.
GOOD TO KNOW.
LET'S GET TO THE
SOME MOVES.
SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN
CERTAIN SITUATIONS?
IF I WERE TO GO AND
MAYBE GRAB YOUR WRISTS.
LET'S SAY SOMEONE
COMES UP AND YOU TRY TO
GET THEM TO STOP IT.
MOST COMMON IS PEOPLE
TRY TO PULL AWAY, BUT,
ONE, YOU HAVE A GREAT
GRIP ON ME RIGHT NOW,
AND, TWO, I'M WASTING
ENERGY AT THIS POINT
TOO.
WHAT WE SUGGEST YOU DO
IS SECURE YOUR FIST TO
YOUR HAND, ELBOW COMES
UP, ACROSS AND OVER AND
BREAKING THE GRIP HERE.
YOU WANT TO TRY IT?
THAT'S AMAZING.
YOU'RE TELLING
SOMEONE TO STOP.
YOU COME ANY CLOSER AND
THEY GRAB YOU.
SECURE IT TO YOUR CHEST.
YOU CAN USE YOUR OTHER
HAND TO HELP HOLD IT.
THE IDEA IS LEVERAGE.
FROM HERE YOU'RE BROKEN
FREE, YOU CAN POSSIBLY
RUN AND GET AWAY FROM
THAT POSITION.
THAT'S A LOT OF
FORCE.
THAT BLEW ME AWAY
WHEN YOU DID THAT.
HERE'S THE THING,
IT'S NOT HOW STRONG ARE
YOU?
IT'S JUST USING THE
LEVERAGE OF YOUR BODY
AND UNDERSTANDING THAT
WHEN SOMEONE GRABS YOU
IN A GRIP LIKE THIS,
THEY HAVE CONTROL IN THE
RIGHT POSITION, BUT IN
THE WRONG POSITION
THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN
DO TO FIGHT THAT
MANEUVER OR THAT
LEVERAGE THAT YOU'RE
USING ON HIM.
THAT'S KIND OF THE
IDEA.
THAT'S A GREAT ONE.
LET'S DO ONE MORE?
SO THIS ONE'S A LITTLE
BIT MORE TRICKY SO SHOW
YOU BUT LET'S SAY
SOMEONE TRIES TO COME UP
AND THEY TRY TO CHOKE
YOU HERE, TWO HANDS ORE
WIN HAND?
THE IDEA IS IF THEY ARE
HERE IN THIS POSITION,
AGAIN, I'M GOING TO USE
LEVERAGE.
I'M PULLING THROUGH, MY
ELBOW COMES UP, OVER THE
SAME WAY AS IT DID
BEFORE.
BUT NOW I'M TWISTING AND
PINNING YOUR ARM HERE.
AGAIN, IT'S LEVERAGE OR
PRESSURE ON THE BACK OF
YOUR ELBOW.
PRETTY SURE YOU COULD
EASILY SNAP MY ARM RIGHT
NOW.
THAT'S A GOOD ONE TOO.
DO YOU WANT TO TRY
IT?
SURE.
YOU'RE GOING TO GRAB
YOUR WRIST WITH TWO
STANDARD GRIPS HERE.
AS YOU PUT ME THROUGH,
WE WILL BOW COMES UP,
OVER AND TRAPPING MY
ELBOW UNDERNEATH YOUR
ARM.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO FROM
HERE IS APPLY PRESSURE
TO THE BACK OF THE
ELBOW.
TO NOW BREAK THE ELBOW.
SORRY.
PERFECT.
I WAS SQUEEZING.
ONCE YOU LEARN THE
BASIC TECHNIQUE, ANYONE
CAN DO IT.
AND WE'RE NOT TRYING TO
TELL SOMEONE TO GO
AROUND BREAKING ARMS,
BUT IF YOU FIND YOURSELF
IN THAT POSITION, THESE
ARE A FEW THINGS THAT
YOU CAN DO TO HELP YOU
GET OUT OF THOSE
SITUATIONS.
SO GOOD TO KNOW.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD TAKE
SOME TYPE OF
SELF-DEFENSE CLASS.
THIS IS A FREE SEMINAR
SO MAKE SURE YOU HEAD
