 Nutrigenomics And Cancer
Cancer occurs when there is uncontrolled growths of damaged cells invade in areas
where they are not needed. They are harmful to the body when they form lumps or
masses of tissue that release hormones that alter normal cellular functions. Cells are
supposed to follow a pattern of growth, division, death. Cancer cells, however, do not
die; instead they continue to multiply which to a massive growth of abnormal cells in the
body. The oncogenes or cancer-promoting cells help normal cell turn into a tumor cell.
These give the cells new properties which defy the programmed death of the cell and
proliferate instead. The tumor suppressor genes protect the cell from turning into cancer.
However, when these genes are mutated, the cell can progress to cancer. Certain
lifestyle and environment factors promote the development of cancer cells in the body. If
our body is exposed to carcinogens, or the substances that are responsible to the
Mrs.Traylor
is Personal Trainer & Owner & damage of the DNA, we are most likely to develop the disease. These carcinogens are

exposure to asbestos leads to mesothelioma; ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause
Inside D.G.C.F.S. skin cancer, and many others. Thus, it is important that we should develop a healthy

Fake Self Defense Instructor 16
this can help reduce the risk of developing the dreaded disease. Exercising and proper
weight management, not using tobacco products, eating a well-balanced diet, and
protecting yourself from the harmful rays of the sun are usual ways to lower the risk of
developing certain cancers. However, in some cases, vaccination is also recommended to avoid some viruses that can trigger
certain cancers. There are several ways that cancer can be treated. Early detection of the disease is primarily the key to the
successful treatment of the disease. These treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy,
and gene therapy. Some doctors employ a combination of those therapies depending on the stage, location, severity of the
disease, and other factors that could affect the efficacy of the treatment. But all these can be futile if our body does not
respond to the treatments well. As we all know, our body need nutrients that will enhance the effect of the treatments
administered to our body. Because of this, nutrigenomics can be applied in finding out what those nutrients are. In this way,
nutritionists will be able to formulate a customized diet which is deemed appropriate and effective to the patient. Diet has
always been a factor either in the development or prevention of diseases. Researchers have found that possible prevention
for cancer can be found on the food nutrients that we consume.

Some foods like green tea, cruciferous vegetables, olive oil, walnuts, peanuts, pomegranates, and grapes contain polyphenol.
Polyphenol acts as antioxidant that protects the body from chemical damage caused by free radicals, which cause
degenerative diseases and cancers. Nutrigenomics has shown that food nutrients have effects on the gene expressions of
human beings. It aims to identify the specific nutritional needs of individuals according to his genetic makeup. Through this,
people who are highly at risk to cancer will be given a specified and tailor-made diet prescription that can decrease their
susceptibility to the disease. This field of study gives us a new insight on the causes of cancers, their preventions, and their
treatments..

 Sheepdog Skills
True warriors, by their very nature, tend to put the welfare of others before their own
safety. This is how it should be. This is not only true of professional warriors, but civilian
warriors as well. Let’s face it, as husbands, wives, parents, siblings (etc.), we often have
to assume responsibility for the safety and well being of others. Often times, this
responsibility is what drives us to pursue martial training. Considering this, one of the
most overlooked aspects of martial training is third party protection. You can be the
biggest, toughest, most advanced black belt in the whole world, but when the fecal matter
hits the rotating oscillator…can you herd two kids in a busy parking lot, keep your wife out
of harm’s way, AND fend off that crazy knifer all at the same time? If you’ve never been
taught basic bodyguarding tactics, you may find it more difficult than you think.
Bodyguarding is all about awareness and avoidance…not combat. When you are
responsible for the safety of another, the last thing you want to do is subject them to a
hostile environment. As a protector, it’s always preferable to avoid a threat rather than

and a full time combatives instructor. Awareness and avoidance is much easier when there is only you to consider, but

people requires extreme focus and vigilance. While every member of your party should be

Inside D.G.C.F.S. will perceive and respond to even obvious threats. Small children, for example, are quite

Mrs.Traylor Combat Fitnes 2
Coming Events 4
extremely dangerous situations. As such, your first priority is to place yourself in a
Airsoft Products 5 position that allows you to maintain visual contact with your entire party and that facilitates
Continue R.A.T.S. 6 your interception of a potential threat. This is referred to as assuming an escort position.
Sheep dog skills 7 The escort position I find most useful for civilians is the ―rear off-set patrol‖. To execute a
Drawing your weapon 8
Pro & Cons of carrying weapons 9
rear off-set patrol, stand an arms distance behind and off to one side of the slowest (or
Habit Vs, Fear 11 smallest) member of your party. By ―keeping your head on a swivel‖ and maintaining good
Carrying your weapon 12 360 degree awareness, you should be able to detect any threat approaching your flank. If
Veil of empowerment 13 a threat does approach your flank (tactically the groups weakest spot), they must come
Welcome 15
Fake Self Defense Instructor 16
through you first. If you detect a threat approaching your party from the front, you simply
advance and place yourself between the threat and your party.
If a threat is detected, pre-planned code words or directives can play a critical role in
saving precious time. If your party has already been told to respond a specific way to
verbal commands, your ability to manage their avoidance oriented countermeasures is
greatly improved. For example, saying something like, ―Bravo-Charlie‖ to your wife could
tell her that you detect ―Bad Company‖ and she should now gather the kids and proceed
to the nearest safe zone while you manage the threat. Once she and the children are to
safety, she should enlist help for you. Without this type of pre-planned communication,
loved ones often stand around a dangerous situation in a panicked state, wanting to help,
but not knowing what to do. All the while, they subject themselves to potential harm and
function as a major distraction to you as you attempt to manage an overwhelming amount
of stimuli.
The physical techniques of third party protection are less about putting hands on ―the bad guy‖ and more about controlling
your principal (V.I.P.). Control tactics for principals fall into two basic categories: passive control techniques and direct control
techniques. An example of a passive control technique would be the ―leading hand‖. By gently placing a hand in the small of
the back, on a shoulder, or extending an open hand in a specific direction you can encourage your principal to move where
you want them to go. There is no force involved. An example of a direct control technique would be the ―headlock and cover’.
To perform this technique you simply grab your principal in a bully-style side-headlock and cover the top of their head with
your free arm and your body as you run them to safety. It’s not pleasant for your principal, but they get to escape intact.
Obviously, this is a very brief introduction to third party protection training concepts; however, this is not a testament to its
importance. I was introduced to third party protection via my ERT training at the Sheriff’s department years ago. Once I was
exposed to it, I realized just how much the self defense community needed to embrace third party protection skills. Our
families are our highest priority. We owe it to them to ensure that our skills adequately provide for their safety.

 THE LOST ART OF DRAWING YOUR WEAPON

Over the last few month I have been researching different edge weapon ―Modern edge
weapon‖ programs on the art of drawing your weapon and to be honest, I have not seen
very many that teach it or have a syllabus just on drawing your edge weapon, I mean, I
hear them touch on, Talk about it, but there is not a syllabus on It, My Instructor Hock
Hochheim in his edge weapon knife counter knife talks about it in some detail and has
some awesome drills on drawing your edge weapon. That’s where I began my search. To
my surprise very little is out there. The art of drawing your weapon has been LOST both in
edge weapon and firearms. A lot of programs start with a knife or a gun in your hand,
ONLY PROBLEM is ―HOW DID IT GET THERE‖ They are folks out there that will give you
techniques on how to draw you edge weapon but that’s about it. From what I have seen.
The Japanese samurai classically carried blade(s)), only one was considered the soul of
the samurai: the katana (or tachi). The Japanese pinned an extraordinary amount of value

Welcome 15 your weapon on your body. one of the most common questions that I get, from everyday
Fake Self Defense Instructor 16 students as well as law enforcement and military professionals is,‖ what suggestions do
you have for carrying my weapons for better concealment and use?" Which brings another
set of issues about concealed weapon but that’s another article. We also need to touch on
what type of edge weapon will you carry Fix blade or folder, Does it have wave
technology, open asst ect.ect… What are the legal issues about the length of the weapon,
again that’s another article.
I have designed Drills to address these problems of drawing your edge weapon some of
are designed to maximize speed and natural movement while you are in a protection
mode others are designed to attack while still having the ability to draw your edge weapon
again with natural movement. The last thing you want to do is to be obvious as you are
trying to draw your edge weapon in life threaten situation. A lot system or styles do not
teach how to draw your folder knife or gun they start out with the weapon in hand and that
is just not right. now having written this, keep in mind that this is new for me as well. I was
never taught how to draw a folder from my pocket under duress. This is a live syllabus as
all my Modules are so they change as times change and new techniques become available. I have learned so much in doing
this research. Some Folks try to say that their style has taught the ART OF DRAWING their weapon but it is not the same..

consideration.
In closing, It is very important to know how to protect yourself with an edge weapon in a life threaten situation, where to cut
how to cut, how to hold your edge weapon, How to be defensive with it and offensive with it, BUT it does not do you any
GOOD IF you cannot draw your weapon in a life threaten situation and under duress.

Welcome

What Benjamin Franklin meant was that if you are trying to stop or fix something after it
has already happened, the damage has already been done. If you can prevent it from
happening in the first place, things will be much easier and better overall. I have come up
with some ideas as to the PROS and CONS of violence prevention, to help you prepare
yourself for the day when someone tries to perpetrate an act of violence on you!
Follow these steps, and you will be ready to protect yourself at all times! First, there are
the three pros of violence prevention.
Proactive
The most important step of any journey is the first one. Most people that I have met are in
denial that violence will ever happen to them. This type of thinking disables you in a violent
encounter, because your body is unable to conquer the denial of ―I can’t believe this is
happening to me.‖ It is happening to you – and the best way to deal with it is to accept the
fact that it can happen, and happen to you. Then, you should find somewhere local to you
to train in personal protection skills. Making self-defense training an everyday part of your
life is the most proactive way to address the subject of violence. How many times do we
get into a car or a boat and put on our seatbelts and life jackets? Now, how many times do
we actually get into car accidents or fall out of boats? Exactly, hardly ever. But, all it takes
is once, and we’re glad we had that belt or jacket on. Ask any victim of violence, and she
1 will tell you that all it takes is once to change your life.
2
4 Be prepared.
5 Provision
6 In addition to training in self-protection skills, it is imperative that you make environmental
7 provision for your personal safety.What does that mean? It means making sure your
8
everyday environment enables you to protect yourself when necessary.
11 Some examples of this would include: Regularly checking windows, doors and locks for
12 malfunction and replacing them if damaged. Find all local emergency numbers and put
13 them on speed dial for quick access. Keep items like a flashlight and first aid kit near you
15
16 for these emergencies. If you have a personal protection tool or device (knife, gun, pepper
spray, personal alarm) make sure it is within reach when you are lying in bed (and keep it
in the same place all the time for consistency). Also, make sure you have a pre-planned
escape route from your apartment, house, office, and car – in the event that the primary
exit is inaccessible.
Promiscuity, Multiple partners. This is where it’s at! No, no…this is not what you’re
thinking. What I mean is in your personal protection training, make sure you investigate
and absorb information from as many sources as possible.

Training with multiple partners in your self-defense skills will allow you to get a feel for
different body shapes and sizes, and different perspectives. This is a HUGE advantage in training. We live in such a small
world now that gone are the days where you sign up at your local karate club and stay there for 10 years. There is nothing
wrong with loyalty to a particular school or teacher, but augment your regular training with ideas and insights from other
sources. Next, are the three cons of violence prevention. Context During a violent encounter, your ability to think logically is
essentially GONE. You become very reactionary and if you haven’t done the necessary mental prep work PRIOR to this fight
– you will be in some serious hot water! Contextualizing your self-defense techniques allows you to decide beforehand what
strategies and techniques are suitable for varying levels of force.
For example, what level of force is suitable for a person screaming at you from behind a counter because you gave them the
wrong order? What about when some shoves you at a nightclub because you looked at them for a little too long? How about
when someone puts a gun to the back of your head demanding you go with them.This process begins in the mind, but we
need to make a connection to the body, so that when we are not thinking straight, we can use the appropriate amount of
force, Conversion This is where we make a mind-body connection and make our contextualizing a physical reality. The key
here is scenario-based training. It is widely held and accepted knowledge that you are going to fight like you train. If you
practice varying levels of force in a variety of training scenarios, you will be able to respond appropriately when the rubber of
reality meets the road.

Page 9
Conditioning, Conditioning is the final step. Here is where you form neural pathways that allow you to access your training in
high stress situations. Adrenal stress training is when you purposely induce stress and cause your adrenaline to course
through your body – and THEN have to defend yourself against an unpredictable attacker. With repetition, this is an extremely
effective self-protection tool. When someone attacks you in reality, and your adrenaline flows and your heart rate increases,
and you find yourself in a crazed emotional state – your body will naturally ―click‖ into your self-protection mode that you have
created by conditioning yourself with training. The reaction is instantaneous.

If you take these steps to heart, and make them a part of your life – you will ensure your safety in the midst of an increasingly
violent world. We all need to take the necessary steps to protect ourselves, because the street it out there.

Habit versus Fear…
At ten o’clock that night, Lindsay had checked that her doors were locked, as usual, before
shutting the lights off and going to bed. She assumed she was safe within the protection of
her apartment walls. A typical night coupled with a typical attitude. At four o’clock in the
morning, Lindsay’s night drastically changed. Her worst fear had crept out of her
nightmares and forced its way into her bedroom. “Don’t make a sound or I’ll kill you…just
do exactly what I say” — a ruthless command and a lethal threat on an innocent human
being. This was not a practical joke carried out by a friend. It was real and it was
happening to Lindsay — a tall, thin, and ultra-feminine woman who had always thought
with confidence, ―It (rape) won’t happen to me.” But there he was and there she was.
While Lindsay slept a man had broken into her locked apartment and moved silently into
her bedroom. He woke her from a peaceful sleep with the forceful words, ―Don’t make a
sound, don’t move.‖ That statement would repeat over and over in her mind for years to
come. As this angry man, a man that she had never seen before in her life — stood over
her in her bedroom; made one last reminder for her not to do anything. Lindsay’s mind
1 raced back to her self-defense workshop that she had taken, she was reminded of the
2
4 emphasis placed on fighting back in order to surprise the attacker.
5 Don’t think of anything other than survival. Look for your window of opportunity – it may be
6 as little as five seconds – when he is vulnerable and to use it to your advantage.
7
8
Fight back. And that is what she did. She knew she needed to remain calm, assess the
best time for defense, and strike. Lindsay did just that. As she watched his body fly across
11 the room, Lindsay was amazed to see the shock on his face. He was caught physically
12 and mentally off-guard by her blow that she landed him in the chest with both of her feet,
13
15
using all the force she could gather. Lindsay had enough time to escape. As she ran out of
16 her apartment to get help, he ran too…not after her, but away from her.
Lindsay experienced a life-threatening situation. It is our responsibility to ensure our own
safety. You may be wondering why Lindsay didn’t hear her intruder as there were no
noises of a break-in; the man had a key from the previous tenant who lived in the
apartment…..previous to Lindsay. The landlord never changed the locks when Lindsay
moved in!
Personal safety is a habit not a fear. I’ve had students tell me their family members think
that they are scared or paranoid because they lock doors even when they are home; when
they go out to walk the dog and in their car. I’ve heard many parents say that having your
children’s cartoon image with their age and name on your vehicle window was not
dangerous. All of us in the personal safety arena agree, IT IS DANGEROUS! Ask any
pedophile who wants an easy target.
The fact is, paranoia will freeze you with fear and fear is the most dangerous mindset of
all. Trust your gut feelings, your instincts, intuition Be aware of your surroundings
Establish and enforce your personal boundaries Exhibit confident body language
Incorporate safety tips into your daily routine and life The benefits of personal safety
impact your entire life in a positive manner. ―An ounce of prevention is a pound of cure.‖—
-Benjamin Franklin The people who tell you or call you paranoid for being aware and
safe areO-B-L-I-V-I-O-U-S!
The impact of being oblivious and not facing the fact that all type of crimesand assaults
are happening on a daily basis is an individual with blinders on. Electing not be
educated or taught how to be safe is just downright ludacris.
ob·liv·i·ous= unmindful; unconscious; unaware
Synonym – absent-minded (so lost in thought that one does not realize what one is
doing, what is happening, etc.; preoccupied to the extent of being unaware of one’s
immediate surroundings)
Anny’s program is not traditional ―self-defense‖ nor martial arts or weapons. She has
developed her training exclusively for females and teaches them to use their bodies as
their weapon to diffuse a violent situation

The times we live in are very challenging for us. On a daily basis, we face the pressures
of our busy schedules, financial pressure, and personal stress. As the economy seems
to put us in financial difficulties, we must also keep in mind that in desperate times, a
man will do desperate measures to survive. Just think about the man who crashed a
plane into the IRS building.
http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/texas-man-flies-plane-irs-building-9881675
If a man is under pressure financially, he may go to extreme measures.
When the pressure is on, you will see what someone’s true colors are. As the economy
gets worse, crime rate will go up. Now if you live in a state where you can carry a
concealed firearm, you have the upper hand. If you do live in a state to carry conceal,
but do not, I would advise you to. Thomas Jefferson said "The Constitution of most of
our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that
1 they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times
2 armed." But if you are someone like me who lives in a state where it is illegal to carry a
4 concealed firearm, you then have to go to plan b. (Or you may not be the age to carry a
5 firearm legally.) So what do you do if you cannot carry a firearm? This is where I will help

7 you to discover how to use and carry multiple weapons with you. I will help show you
8 how to carry weapons with you whether you are in a public place, at home, or just
walking down the street. A cop can even pat you down and still not find these weapons.
11
12
13 So here is my philosophy. Anything can be used as a weapon. We train with firearm,
15 knives, sticks, batons etc… But anything you can put your hands on can be a weapon.
16 Here just 5 weapons that you can always have with you in your daily life that are
camouflaged. 1) A pen. If you go to work and have a pen in your suit pocket, it comes in
handy as if it was a kubaton. 2) Your Belt. If you have the time and distance to take your
belt off, it can be used like a Filipino Sarong, to strangle, or hit your opponent with the
buckle end. 3) Your keys. You can use your keys to cut, or if they are on a lanyard you
now have as weapon to swing at your opponent. 4) A Shoe. Again, if you have the
distance and time to take a shoe off you kick off you sandal to grab, this can become a
nice neutralizer. 5) Your own shirt. If you where in a predicament where it is non lethal,
you can take the fight to the ground and while in the dominant position, cover the
aggressor’s face and mouth with your shirt. This won’t kill him, but restrict his breathing.
He may pass out but hopefully they settle down before that point.
These are just 5 out of many things that we can use as a weapon. Hopefully you never
have to use them but if you are in the situation whether it is lethal or non lethal, I pray
that you may have the answer to the solution. Until Next Time. Train hard, be safe and

 The Thin Veil Of Empowerment
I want to talk to you today about a very sensitive issue. This happens in many dojos
worldwide but i don't want to focus on that today. I want to focus on an even more
serious issue. I want to focus on women's self defense. As a martial artist i don't believe
there are instructors out there that want to teach something bad on purpose. I think
people who say that are negative people that only want to tear things down. However i
do believe their are many martial artists who are well meaning but actually do more
damage than good because they don't understand the issue when it comes to women's
self defense. So i want to talk to you about what a women's self defense course should
be and why i believe it.The biggest problem i see is that most of these course tend to
Paul Green focus on empowerment alone. Now i want to say this right off. You must have
STONEWAL TACTICAL empowerment as a part of any self defense course. It doesn't do any good to have great
Inside D.G.C.F.S. techniques if the students will never be empowered to use them. A course without
R.A.T. & D.D.R.A.T.S. Seminar 1 empowerment is pretty much useless. However a course with only empowerment is very
Mrs.Traylor Combat Fitnes 2 dangerous and could get a student killed. The fact is learning how to punch and kick and

yell loud while standing still isn't going to do any good. I've seen some of these course

Continue R.A.T.S. 6 where they even teach wristlocks and fingerlocks for self defense. So why do I scoff at

Welcome 15 what happen to the body when it panics? Well first of all when your heart rate gets above
Fake Self Defense Instructor 16
115 beats per minute you lose the ability to perform fine motor skills.
What constitutes a fine motor skill? A perfect example would be a wrist lock or finger
lock. Get it now? Someone teaching a woman to perform a technique she doesn't have a
chance in hell of pulling off. Thats pretty dangerous to me.The fact is this goes much
deeper. Dojos today simply don't pressure test their own techniques. Pressure testing
means they've tested the techniques at full speed in scenarios where things such as
heart rate increase are mimicked so they know for a fact that the stuff they teach works
under the conditions they are teaching. It's simply regurgitating the same thing they were
taught which could have been for a completely different circumstance. Now i have black
belts in 5 martial arts. Three of them are 5th dans (Midori Yama Goshin Jujutsu, Shin
Shin Jujitsu, and Koga Ryu Ninjutsu respectively) This not withstanding i will make the
bold statement that none of these ranks qualifies me in any way to teach women's self
defense, and none of yours do either. A martial arts rank only qualifies you to teach to
curriculum you learned to get your belt and thats all. Otherwise if I had a black belt in
one thing it would mean i had it in everything. Women's self defense is a separate issue
all together and must be treated as such.Now when I was doing my research on this subject i tossed my martial arts out the
window. I interviewed social workers, Police officers, victims, and even attackers in jail to get the info I needed. I did this
because i understood it was an important issue and needed the respect it deserved. I didn't care about promoting some dojo
or some art. I only cared about protecting women and put my own ego and knowledge aside to get to the truth. By
understanding the real issues and how attacks go down and what leads up to them i then put together my program. I believe
this is the right way to do it. As I mentioned earlier most of these courses tend to focus on empowerment alone which can be
very dangerous. If the well meaning instructor doesn't understand the issue then you could be empowered to put yourself in a
situation where you should've ran. By using techniques with a low physiological success rate thats a good way to end up
dead. As far as physical techniques the consensus among the experts is that target aquisition is best. Pick 5 areas on the
attackers body that could be hit from anywhere. Some good high line targets would be the eyes,throat, or ears would be good.
Low line targets that could be used to set up high line targets would be inside of the thighs, instep, or groin. Notice I said the
low line targets were setup targets not the main targets themselves. Alot of these courses focus on the groin as a primary
target. This is a HUGE mistake. Most men are hardwired to protect this target. It's one thing for them to be standing there and
you whack the ol' nads and drop them. It's different when they are hopped up on drugs or adrenaline. I promise you they won't
feel it like you think they will. It can turn a rape into a murder fast. It is however a good set up target to bring the head forward
and maybe drops the hands to get at a highline target to by the time to make your escape. Yes i said escape. This isn't about
winning a fight this is about living or dying... Get out of there! Even with that physical knowledge it isn't enough. Because
nothing is %100 percent and all life is precious. The fact is the education is much more important than the physical stuff. If
your doing the physical stuff then it's because you screwed up at least 5 times and missed alot of signs to get there. Things
like understanding when your being abused emotionally, cycles of violence, crime trends in your area, how violence escalates,
what makes a psychopath tick. Things like this could help you never be in one of these situations. On our website
(www.stonewalltactical.com) if you go to the article section you will find two links. One for pre-incident indicators and one for
women's self defense support material that has clickable links for further study. This info is yours for free to begin your
education that is so important.
page 13
I want to say something now to the potential instructors that could be teaching these courses. When you teach these courses
you need to spread the educational material throughout don't put it all in one spot. Your going to feel pressure to make
everything entertaining. Don't buckle to that. You cannot let the students dictate the content. Some will think the educational
portion is boring but you need to make it clear that it IS the most important part. The students have a responsibility to
understand they are there to be informed not entertained. This stuff could save a life someday and you need to make sure
they know it. This is a serious issue that deserves respect and reverance. When it comes to the physical portion let them try
the techniques a couple times to make sure they know how to do it, but as soon as that happens make sure the attackers in
class stop being compliant. It does know good to fill someone with false empowerment. Make sure they can do the techniques
and feel how the body changes during them. This will also help with the educational material and bring more focus to it when
they understand this isn't easy. They need to really understand the issue not be lied to. This is why techniques need to be
simple and direct because it will increase their success rate unders stress. If your going to teach then teach the truth and do it
right.
In closing I want to tell you a true story about a girl i met. I'm not going to use her name because the family still lives in this
area. I only met her once and learned of all this later down the road years later. A friend of mine was dating her and had been
doing so for a couple months. She was separated from her husband going through a very ugly divorce. She was deathly afraid
for her life because she felt he was dangerous. She always had someone staying with her in case he came by. She once
made the statement to my friend that if he kills me promise me you'll hold my hand. He of course promised he would. One
night she heard something outside and thought it was him so she called a friend to come over and he did but saw nothing. He
did agree to stay on the couch. No none is exactly sure how it went down but the guy on the couch was found shot in the back
of the head in the front yard and she was shot to death in her bed. The husband is now in prison serving a life sentence.
When my friend got there the body hadn't been moved yet. He asked if he could hold her hand. He was told he couldn't
because her hands hand been blown off when she went to cover her head in fear. This is a sad story but it's completely true.
This is how these things happen. All the empowerment in the world would have never saved this girl's life. Education however,
might have made a difference. There was help out there. Alot of women's shelters in our area keep their location hidden from
the public. She could've been safe there. At least til things blew over. The police weren't told either they could've got more
involved, but no one was told and she never knew she could've done it. Empowerment is a thin veil that is nothing without
education. You put them together however and you may have something special. So please respect this issue and do the
work. Life is beautiful and precious and this has to be done right. I hope if your an instructor that you won't be offended by this
but instead use it as a call to action to make a change. A real change for a real solution that could help someone special.
Because everyone has somebody that loves them and will miss them when they are gone. So together lets make a difference
to insure when someone reaches out that there's a hand there to hold them. Thank you

Of course Jim Wagner knows nothing about Israeli Krav Maga.
September 28, 2010- Austin, TX- Robb Hamic has been at the center of exposing a lot
of the goings on in the world of Israeli Martial Arts and Krav Maga. Frankly, he has seen
too much and it has caused him to make choices. Work, train or tell people about what

Welcome 15 questions from people I meet as I travel. Many of the questions originate around my

opinions of organizations or ask if I have information for people. This should bring
everyone up to speed. I am going to address mainly Krav Maga issues and I don't think
that many systems or organizations should even have a place at the "table of
discussion" because they are not real. I will break down some of the status for these
organizations first.
Haganah- Yesterday I learned that all of their Trademarks were canceled by the US Trade
Mark Office. The International Defensive Fighting System (IDFS) has been sued by me and
still hasn't answered their lawsuit filed in Florida Circuit Court. The suit is still moving
forward. Kanarek was featured on Spike TV and in my opinion, he made a very bad showing
for the "Israeli Special Forces." The show featured the IDF Special Forces against the US
Navy SEALS. The SEALS were proficient and professional but the same could not be said
for Kanarek. He looked old and he obviously did not have the skills mastered despite hiring
a personal consultant prior to the show. He has brought in this consultant to teach his gun
and tactical issues within the company. I know a number of people who have left this
program and see it for the fake that I think it is. Most of its advertising claims have been
proven to be false. This is just a short list.. Visit www.mikekanarek.com for more.
 Haganah's ™'s canceled
 Kanarek changes his belts and affiliations overnight
 Haganah and Kanarek are sued
 What was true in 2005 about Haganah is still true
 Haganah students speak out
 Haganah Affiliates spread huge lies
 Kanarek lies about training troops at GITMO and gets caught..
 Chris Ghanam's comments about Kanarek's lies
 Super Fraud advertisements that Haganah did in Black Belt Magazine

Page 16
 Moni Aizik and CKM- This guy and his fake organization has proven to be one of the
largest frauds that the reality martial arts world has ever seen. Almost all of his claims and
advertising has been proven completely false and most importantly he admits in his own
words that he knows nothing of Krav Maga, had only one meeting with imi Lichtenfeld and
thought he was insignifigant in his (Aizik's) life. His own words folks! I sued him together
with Joel Gerson, David Kahn and Nir Mamane in Florida Circuit Court. He has defaulted
and not answered. His last instructor class had 2 people in it and I think that both found this
blog, sought refunds and received them. I think Aizik has numerous US Federal Criminal
Charges outstanding against him now. Good luck coming back into the US Moni. Stay on
your desert island in the Caribbean.. Visit www.moniaizik.info for more info..
 This post pretty much sums it up with the covert audio..
 If not, this one does..
There are other fake instructors or people making false claims about Krav Maga. The list is
really too long to list or keep up with. I recommend that all people do their investigation and
check the Internet about their instructor and or the system that they are affiliated or
considering. Seriously, take a minute and do some diligent investigation and don't just take some sales advertisement's word. Take
it from me, Black Belt Magazine, History Channel and Military Channel can't be trusted. I trusted their "reporting" and look where
it got me..
OK. Now I am going to talk about Israeli Krav Maga or those who state that they teach it. I
have gone to great lengths to find the truth. I have traveled to the place were krav maga was
created, Netanya israel. I will be back in December and continue my path as an Israeli Krav
Maga Instructor. Everyone knows that Imi Lictenfeld created Krav Maga and it was originally
exclusively taught only to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). In the 1970's Imi decided that
citizens should know Krav Maga "so that we may all walk in peace." He formed the Israeli
Krav Maga Association (IKMA), which still exists today. It was his only club and almost
all instructors who have broken off and started their "own systems or clubs came from the
IKMA or were trained there
