Aug 26th, 2008 | By Barbara | Category: Insights
Morning all!
Today’s thought to share deals with self-defense.
I’m on a superb mailing list from No Nonsense Self-Defense and learned about the following:
Monroe couple describe how they fought off armed man
A few hours before Donna Angevine smacked an intruder in the head more than 20 times with a baseball bat early Thursday, she was sparring with her tae kwan do instructor.
He had to egg her on.
"Hit me," the instructor told her. Be aggressive.
The self-defense and martial arts training paid off for the Monroe woman, 45, when she and her husband, Roger Angevine, woke up to find a man in their bedroom…..MORE….
Self defense and de-escalating a confrontation is always a good thing to know. Should you want to learn about these useful skills, consider:

Hope you find the above useful!
Enjoy,

Barbara, this is good practical advice for men and women. Knowing how to defend ourselves empowers us on a deeper level. Of course we hope we never have to use those skills but it is good to know that if needed we could fight back.

Hi Barbara – it is brilliant that she was able to do this. But more than 20 times with a baseball bat? Either he has a really hard head – or she didn’t try hard enough. A blow with a baseball bat would be enough to knock most folk out.
That’s seriously scary though – waking up to find an intruder in your bedroom.

I totally agree. Glad the family ended up safe. Barbara
I taught both my daughters from the time they were little girls how to take down an attacker in a quick and effective manner and to not hesitate.
My hat’s off to this woman who didn’t think twice before putting the intruder down.
Too many people subscribe to the notion that the police are going to protect them. At best, they’re only useful after the fact, and only then if you do 90% of the work for them like provide a photo or video of the perpetrator in action.
If more people took time to learn EFFECTIVE self defense methods and use them properly, and without hesitation – there would be a lot less violent crimes; IMHO.
Thanks for posting this article. You made my day!
