Knockout Games

The text of the article covers a growing race war in America.  That's politics. What we train for is how to deal with violence, and being ambushed.  Watch the video there and see a real life ambush.

How many times have you walked by a group of teenagers or young people?  You probably had as much concern about a potential ambush as this poor guy did.  Note these kids showed little, if any, indication of an attack.  One step and BOOM.  Knockout.

We talked at length at a recent class about keeping safe space and adjusting when that space in encroached. Admittedly, it is pretty much impossible to role-play scenarios like this but we can learn a lot by watching videos like this to get a handle on how important that safe space is to keep and never to assume you are safe when strangers are close by.

Think what you will about the cultural or racial makeup of our society, or what statistics seem to indicate.  When it comes to navigating in public, keep your eyes open and your close space guarded.  Assume nothing and be careful.
