In my classes we talked about all things martial arts and self-defense and what you are going to be reading since you cannot come to my actual class for your education in selfdefense, I will write things that can educate you in a very positive way that will educate, challenge, and entertain you. For decades, I have wanted to take my message to a bigger audience, but now I felt the timing was just right for the world and myself. Truth is, I did not know how to get from A to Z.

Not knowing where this idea would go, I asked one of my students to start taking notes during her class. From that day on, I started to accumulate notes that have now been refined into the text you are going to be reading and learning from. We are making good use of the Internet to travel electronically all over the world in an instant and reach out to as many women and girls as we can. We want to spread a very no-nonsense message: and that is, there is a way to end violence against women once and for all that has not been accepted world wide yet.

My focus is on training women to use their body, mind and spirit to hurt their attackers so badly that they have to be rushed to a hospital for immediate medical attention. I do not teach women to negotiate with their attacker or try to beg and plead for their life, just like someone would do who has no other options. Of course, I include in my training and in the text herein some tricks that will lubricate the glide path to insuring that the attacker winds up horizontal on the ground. I want women to have a well trained advantage over their attacker and they will be taught that the secret is them training for years to come, not a couple of months. Said another way, it is time for girls and women to get some skin in the game. This point has a decidedly political point of view in that rape and murder by a few males manages to frighten and control the masses of women who hear, see, and read the horrific stories that happen to untrained women. To stop violence against women we have learned that the authorities and legislators support a system that allows every rapist and murder or rape at least one woman before they start looking for them. In my book, that is one too many. For that to happen, every girl, every woman must learn and practice martial arts and self-defense like nothing they have ever done before in order to master these lessons and philosophies that I will be teaching to women and girls only.

The decidedly political view that I take is realizing that governance is just a few, ruling the many. I am turning that on its head and making the women I train, when challenged in real street fights to send back a message out to the world for rapists and murders that a new way of thinking about ending violence against women is now on the scene. That means to me a new ground of being, that I am standing on that says the following: I want women who read this message to talk to other women and girls about joining them and becoming team members who study and practice this training together for years to come. In other words I want them to engage in this self-defense training activity in a collaborative way. What does collaborative mean, let me tell you: it is an effort where women and girls will work together in an intellectual endeavor. In other words, this is not one girl or woman going by herself to a martial arts dojo, taking a class and then going back home and going to bed. No, what is going to happen is girls and women will form their on support groups that will help each other show up for a meeting where the primary and only subject will be talking about and practicing self-defense. Any traction that this training will have is going to be because women and
girls made it into their own tapestry. One girl or woman doing this by her self will not be as long lasting or powerful in the life of the women who start their training. Just remember this is a secret you keep for all of your life, only women and girls allowed.

A little bit about www.Protecttheroses.com is this: the next thing I know I am talking to a computer guy who is telling me about You Tube and how all that works. I knew about web sites and I had an idea or two about them and so I put You Tube and my website together and the world of martial arts education for women and girls is going to be changed for the better. Buddha says: “Be the change you want to see.” I hope you will study these videos for all your lifetime and pass them on to your daughters and nieces.

I will provide a new You Tube offering on Tuesday and Fridays that will hopefully get you educated and motivated to guide your thoughts going toward long term martial arts training that I am offering. In this way, you can get an education and have a lot of fun with your girl friends. I do want you to build a team of supportive girl friends that will back your efforts to learn this work. What I will be writing about will be like you being in a class that I was teaching over these last thirty years.

It will be a long-term guidance into my system of thinking and training. It will be as close as you can get to my classes, and in fact it could be better, because you can train according to your schedule and convenience.

I hope you read and re-read these notes from my class and let the information seep into your mind, body, and spirit. I urge you to re-read them at least ten times each. I hope that you will watch the videos over and over again. When you realize the years of brainwashing the average female lives through everyday of her life you can understand why I ask you to re read over and over again the lessons that I have prepared for you.
