SAFE International Launches Markham Women’s Self Defense Parties – Markham, ON Self Defense

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense parties in Markham, ON.

Markham, ON, October 06, 2011 - (Straight Line PR) - Markham Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Markham Women’s Self Defense Parties.

SAFE International ™ is the leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in Ontario. SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense parties in Markham, ON.

SAFE International quickly realized that women had completely different concerns, fears, and needs than males. Chris Roberts, CEO of SAFE International listened to their concerns and tailored something that was not only educational, but also met their personal fears. Men have no idea what women go through on an everyday basis from the stares and comments to the physical gestures and advances.

One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching women’s self defense Markham, is how receptive women are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows women to learn in a much shorter time. SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one's daily routines. We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn't want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite.  We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. We then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible. Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, we cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario.  The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Markham women’s self defense. We begin with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance. We only teach gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario.  We teach a philosophy of "Attack the Attacker" which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator.  Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. This is only 30 minutes into the physical training and you can see how the self defense concepts are very effective.  The self defense drills increase with intensity as the participants gain more confidence.  This is very important as you don't want to terrify your clients right from the start.  It is important to build rapport with your students and the results will be seen as the drills progress. The following YouTube video shows how much can be learned in only 30 minutes of women’s self defense instruction.


Forget Tupperware Parties!
Invite 6 to 8 of your friends for a few hours of fun, education and potentially life- saving instruction. Plan a meal, bbq, snacks, maybe some dessert! Be prepared for a unique Markham Women’s Self Defense experience! What has made SAFE International so popular is their unique method of teaching with humour and sharing of anecdotes. Get to experience their simulated attacks in scenario specific situations such as at the front door, the kitchen, the car, etc.

SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients including mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Getting America Back to Work and Achieving Economic Victory: Co-Creator of Six Sigma Launches The Great Discovery on October 29, 2011

Dr. Mikel Harry, world-acclaimed Six Sigma co-creator, best-selling author, international speaker and top consultant will launch his revolutionary business leadership and personal achievement process, The Great Discovery® on Saturday, October 29, 2011.

Phoenix/Scottsdale, AZ, October 06, 2011 - Dr. Mikel Harry, world-acclaimed Six Sigma co-creator, best-selling author, international speaker and top consultant will launch his revolutionary business leadership and personal achievement process, The Great Discovery® on Saturday, October 29, 2011. The event takes place at ASU’s SkySong Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, from 9 a.m. to noon in the Convergence Room (150).

Six Sigma, the business management strategy Dr. Harry co-developed in the 1980’s at Motorola with Bill Smith, spurred scores of Fortune 500 companies – including Motorola, Ford, DuPont and General Electric – to improve profitability and create business growth. Today, Six Sigma standards are still championed by loyal devotees the world over, even in government. For example, Presidential hopeful and former House Speaker, Newt Gingrich is now actively promoting Six Sigma as the way to greatly reduce the cost of government, while at the same time, significantly lowering the national debt.

Beyond question, Six Sigma has demonstrated its power to drive down costs and greatly improve the operating efficiency of large-scale organizations. However, classical Six Sigma methods were not designed for use by small business and individuals. Owing to this, Six Sigma has largely remained a “big dog” program. Even then, these methods could only be absorbed and applied by about 2-5% of an organization’s workforce.

But this all started to change a few years ago when Dr. Harry and his team of researchers began to closely study his 25 years of personal notes, correspondence, case studies and papers. In this material they found many rich “lessons learned” that were universal in nature and highly repeatable, yet best of all, teachable. Through these lessons the team was able to successfully identify and extract the primary factors that underpin the consistent realization of performance breakthroughs.

After another year of development and testing, Dr. Harry synthesized these key factors into what he calls: “The 7 Supreme Laws of Performance Breakthrough,” now known as “The Great Discovery.” According to Dr. Harry, The Great Discovery promises the seismic results outlined in Six Sigma, but this time the system of application is specifically designed for small business and personal development. By right-sizing Six Sigma for the masses, Dr. Harry has made the benefits of Six Sigma accessible to anyone and everyone – individuals, small businesses, and entrepreneurs; even work teams within large-scale enterprises and government agencies. Now, with this new set of tools, the power of Six Sigma can be engineered into the DNA of our nation’s economic base – small business. As Dr. Harry says: “The same way of thinking invariably produces the same result. To change the result means to change the way of thinking. As your way thinking changes, you will naturally ask new questions which open opportunities to discover new and better solutions.”

Tickets to Dr. Harry’s presentation can be purchased online for $50 at www.TheGreatDiscoveryAZ.com. Or, for limited VIP tickets, contact Scott Kelly at 480-206-3435 or at scott@blackdogpromotions.com.
