What's up everybody, Chris Sajnog here and in this video,
I'm going to be teaching you the three T's to preventing a
violent encounter.
Let's go ahead and get started. And joining us from San Diego
Chief Petty Officer Chris Sajnog. Joining me now is
retired Navy SEAL sniper, Chris Sajnog. Welcome Dr. Chris
Sajnog.
Now, when it comes to surviving a violent encounter, a lot of
people will just think, hey, I need to learn to defend myself,
I need to learn karate, I need to learn, God forbid American
taekwondo. And some people just want to learn how to shoot a
gun. They only think about actions or interventions that
they can use during a violent encounter. But I think the best
way to survive a violent encounter is to prevent one from
ever even happen. So when it comes to being prepared for a
violent encounter, I want you to remember these three T's, think,
train, and talk. Now first step is to think, think about what?
Ahhh that's where the gold lies. I want you to think about as
many situations as you can, where you might experience a
violent encounter, or where in your life, could somebody be a
threat to you or the ones you love! Now, it's important that
you think about your house and your family. Where do you drive?
Where do you park? All of these situations need to be specific
to you. Now, I'm often asked, what I think about these
situational training courses that you can attend. And I gotta
tell you, I got mixed feelings. Sure, they can be good training
tech, they can even be fun training. But if all you
practice, are these cookie cutter scenarios, at somebody
else's facility, well, then you're going to be able to
survive cookie cutter scenarios in that facility. But then you
got to think if you're getting attacked in that facility, and I
have to ask, why did you choose that place? You'd be much better
off just to think about situations that are specific to
you. This is my bedroom. And if somebody were to come into my
bedroom, what steps or actions would I need to take to protect
myself and my family? And then start thinking, what if I'm in
the bathroom? What if I'm in my car? What if I'm getting into my
car? What if I'm walking to my car? What if I'm walking to my
car with groceries? What if my kids are with me? What if it's
dark outside? What if, as many situations as you can and have a
plan for each and every one, then it's time to train! Because
that's our next T. Because now that you've got this super
awesome list of your most highest probability threat
scenarios. Well, it's time to train and practice, each and
every one of them. Do walkthroughs, practice each and
every one because when the situation does present itself,
you want to be able to respond correctly not sitting and freeze
as your brain goes into a loop trying to figure out what to do.
Bonus tip here you can and should do mental walkthroughs
every time you're in a unique situation. It's called
visualization and it's just as effective as doing physical
walkthroughs. Say you're sitting down at a restaurant with your
family. Now of course, we'll have to assume it's not
California because in California, you can't leave your
house without a hazmat suit. Sorry, sorry, I should stop
before this video gets flagged for some canceled culture memo
that just came out.
Hey, guys, I want to take a quick break from the training.
And thank the sponsor of this video. Nucci Licious now I know
what you're thinking, why is a 90s rapper sponsoring this
video? Well, Nucci Licious is not the name of a rapper. It's a
nutritional yeast superfood supplement. It's not even a
supplement. It is an all round amazing, great tasting superfood
that I use almost every day. This stuff is great. It tastes
like cheese and or maybe a baked cheese or cheese with brown
butter. It's, it's really hard to describe, It's delicious.
It's like umami deliciousness in a bag. I use it to make a
healthy version of a childhood favorite, macaroni and cheese. I
sprinkle it on anything that would taste better with cheese
which is just about everything except ice cream. Nucci Licious
contains 70% fewer calories than cheese, which is great for
shedding pounds, and it's packed full of more healthy protein
than beef or even protein shakes. It has B vitamins for
energy, more healthy fiber for gut health than any bean or
vegetable and yes, it tastes better. So if you're looking for
a super easy and delicious nutritional hack, just click on
the link in the description below. To get your very own bag
of Nucci Licious and now back to the training.
So you're sitting down with your family and before you look
through the menu or even ask for the wine list, take a look
around and see where the exits are. Now walk through in your
mind, what would you do if somebody walks in the front
door? What if somebody starts shooting from the back of the
restaurant? What if they don't have a decent wine list? You get
my point. 30 seconds of a mental battle plan could save you and
your family one day from a violent encounter, speaking of
which, talk to them. Because yes, that's our third and final
tip. You! Have to talk to your family. After all, we are
talking about protecting yourself and your family.
Because even if you've done all this training, all this
planning, heck, you've even started chosing your newfound
Jason Bourne situational awareness skills,
I come in here. And the first thing I'm doing is I'm catching
the sidelines and looking for an exit. I see the exit sign too,
I'm not worried. I can tell you the license plate numbers of all
six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left handed
and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs 215 pounds and
knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for
a gun, it's the cab with a gray truck outside.
But you've got kids, and you've got a spouse and they don't know
what your plan is? Well, let's just say your planning skills
could use an upgrade. Your family needs to be part of the
plan. So you need to talk to them about it. Like "Hey, honey,
when we go into the restaurant, can I sit with my back to the
wall so I can see the door?" or "Hey kids, if I yell monster, I
want you to get behind me", just thinking about what might happen
or even training for it is not enough. Walk through it and talk
through it with your family so you can all be better prepared
to prevent a potential violent encounter. Alright, so that is
it for today. Remember to think through all these specific
situations that you might find yourself in. Train for all of
those situations. And finally, talk to your family and make
sure you're all on the same sheet of music. Alright, I hope
this video has helped you and until next time, keep paving
your path to perfection!
