Street Safety Tips

1. Avoid going out if you don't feel well (sick,upset) Look Strong.

2. Go out with friends or groups,if possible.

3. Wear good shoes for easy mobility.

4. If someones following you,go to a well lit populated area.

5. Be aware. However, don't look paranoid.If you see someone suspicious,avoid walking near them,or make brief eye contact,so they know your aware of them.

6.RUN!!!! 66% of attacks are stopped,just by running.

7.If being robbed don't fight, UNLESS your LIFE is in danger. Fighting back often increases the anger and violence of the attack. Give up your valuables,NOT your LIFE.
Don't fight,only fight back.Escape first if possible.

8. If you must fight. A. Escape B. Run C. Attract attention, (HELP!!,FIRE!!)

9. Learning to escape and run is the most practical. Most people don't have the experience hitting people in REAL situations,and often are ineffective. Therefore, your techniques shouldn't be based on hitting. But,easy,practical,limited,functional moves. That frees you and buys you time to escape and run.( It Usually takes many years in a Martial Arts to be effective on the Street. Chuntian Academy is offering a true short cut that works and HAS been proven to do so).

10. REMEMBER. a.Alarm devices are often ignored. b. Some people have studied a Martial Art or Sport,but,THE STREET IS REAL,AND NOT THE DOJO,GYM,OR RING.THE WORLD/STREET IS NOT A SPORT,KATA, OR MATCH. WARNING:YOU MAY HAVE A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY, DON'T LEARN THE HARD WAY LIKE I DID).

NOTE: Many Schools have Self-Defense Programs. Make sure they're not theory, but proven. Try to find a program with Police Officers enrolled. That way you can get regular daily feedback on what truly works on the street.Make sure your schools don't rely too much on hardness,power,hitting or kicking too much at first. But short simple techniques,escapes,etc.. Make sure the techniques don't have too many movements,or focused or rely on inflicting pain,it works in the dojo because people or sane and sober,but the fact is on the street the attacker is usually resistant to pain because of drugs,alcohol,rage, etc.
Chuntian Academy's Techniques are usually 3 movements with back ups not relying on muscle or attempting to inflict pain If you make a mistake ,No Problem,there's another Technique right there.'Go with the flow and K.I.S.S.- K.eep I.t S.imple S.tupid).

A. ATTITUDE - Value yourself not the Criminal

B. BELIEVE IT !- If someone grabs you, and you don't know the S.O.B., Let Fly! Go to it! ESCAPE!!
RUN!!

C. CONTINUE!- Don't Stop! Don't Give up! Keep Moving! the first 15 seconds are crucial.
TOP TEN REAL SAFETY TIPS:(Travel)
(When traveling outside the U.S. in potential problem spots).

1. BE ALERT. Crooks need you to be distracted,lost,in need of assistance,or simply being in the wrong place. Just adopting the habit of stopping and watching people around you and (behind) you will arm you against crime.

2. BE SOBER: Alcohol,drugs,jet lag and too much of a good time can fuzz your common sense, making you think you are with cool cats when you're really among wolves.Bars and nightclubs are where bad people hang out.

3.LOSE IT OR LOSE IT: Preventing theft begins when you pack.If you take too many things and are forced to leave items in the car or hotel,you dramatically increase the chance of losing those things.

4.ENSURE AND INSURE: It really makes a difference if your camera,clothes,health and even your life are insured against loss when traveling.

5.TRUST NO ONE,SUSPECT EVERYONE:When you travel you meet hundreds of strangers with either pure or unpure thoughts.It all depends on how you present yourself.If you're interested in their kids,their health, and their family,the chance of something evil happening to you decrease.At the same time understand that financial pressures in some countries might force the same people to finger you to gangs,thugs,radicals and the like.

6.STAY AWAY FROM TOURIST: Tourist attract petty criminals, con artist and potential suicide bombers (in some places), like dogs attract fleas. It goes without saying that crime occurs at youth hostels,tourist attractions,main plazas,foreigner bars,red light districts and other popular areas.

7. PREVENT OPPORTUNISTS: Crime generally occurs after you change $2000 at the Amex office or your wife hitches up her girdle or dives in her bra to get $10 to pay for museum tickets. Zippers on backpacks,luggage circling carousels,papers sticking out of breast pockets,fat purses and bulging pockets are "ROB ME" signs.Places like trunks of rental cars,towels at beaches,and daytime hotel rooms are areas where cameras,money and just about everything of value should be expected to disappear.

8.LOCK'EM OUT: The best defense is preparation.By being careful you will avoid unfortunate incidents and wonder what all this fuss is about.Most hotel rooms can be flipped open by a 90-lb.maid,so it doesn't take much for 200-lb.thug to enter your room at night.(That is where you keep all your worldly possessions isn't it?)Although this is not as pervasive as street robbery,hotel robbery is more serious.Use a wedge,motion detector or chair against the door when you go to sleep.During the day,leave a TV or radio on.Take the room key with you and keep your valuables in the hotel safe.In less developed countries,leave your valuables with the innkeeper or his family.

9.FAKE 'EM OUT: If you find yourself being trailed by an unshaven man through the back streets of Manila,Mexico City,Bali or even L.A.,Miami,San Antonio,wherever,then it's time for Plan B.Strange as it seems,the act of throwing down your decoy pouch will defuse most situations.(Unless of course the swarthy man is just trying to catch up to you to return the camera you left at the restaurant.)Assume the your attacker is just after your money.So give it to him,but not much of it.Carry a money belt,pouch,wallet and neck pouch with a little bit of money in each place.Protest a lot,and then run like hell in the opposite direction.When you are being robbed,your attacker may have a weapon.The trick is to keep slowly shuffling backward as you fumble with your decoy pouch or wallet.If you think you can sprint into safe place,do it.Most thugs will not chase you when other people are around.

10.TAKE'EM OUT: If you are attacked, your attacker will have the advantage.He will either sneak up behind you,walk up to you and then quickly turn,or he will hit you with a pipe or stick.Violent attacks often are performed by gangs.They will typically continue to kick and hit you while they tear off your possession and empty your pockets.Quite honestly,you are better off shielding your head and stomach and helping them find what they are looking for.Keep in mind that if you choose to fight you are endangering your life.If you choose to fight back you must also be prepared to see this through until you attacker becomes the victim. Not a comfortable thought for tourists out on town for a night.Any book or program that teaches you to be like Jackie Chan,Chuck Norris,Steven Seagal,or to be fearless,a bad ass is,for lack of a better term,BULLS%$#,the last thing on the victims mind is their capability to be movie-like,to do smooth Kung fu,Karate,Aikido moves that you will use to destroy your opponent.

***Just Learn the basic means of survival and defense,real boxing,old style hard karate (Pre Y.M.C.A./Sport days),experienced wrestling are fine, but if you trim out the fat and get really,"real world" (we do have favoritism of course),but deeply believe because of our continuing diligent research and education and training, and the will to experiment and learn from various cultures and proven REAL ideals and ways from "real" experienced people,we are among the better programs for REAL self defense and safety.Chuntian Academy's programs are among the best.We teach you smart proven safety and prevention,then mastering of escapes, and later teach you the tools,so if need be you know which body parts to attack for effect,affect to disable with ease and maximum effect as well as some nasty tricks that will leave your attacker sucking wind through broken teeth. We also teach the use of "soft/legal weapons" not numchukus,swords,knives,guns etc.,in which you can't take overseas anyway. Chuntian Academy teaches you to master the,ink pen,the pencil,the umbrella,the walking stick,The common chair. And more....

Not just people can hurt you, here are some other things to look out for.
