Seattle Pacific University shooting

A Seattle Pacific University student managed to subdue a suspected gunman after three people were injured and one killed, during a shooting on campus Thursday afternoon. Police said a man entered Otto Miller Hall with a shotgun and opened fire shortly before 3:30 p.m. The gunman was busy reloading when a student, who was working as the building monitor, confronted and subdued the gunman using pepper spray. "Once on the ground, other students jumped on top of them, and they were able to pin the shooter to the ground until police arrived," said Seattle Police Capt. Chris Fowler.

Various Martial Arts and real world Self- Defense Part 1 by George Mimmis

 Here we see the defender immobilized the attacker but at the same time he has remained static himself. In a case the perpetrator has accomplices our defender is vulnerable to an attack. Also with this technique he does not control the hands of the opponent who if he is armed with a knife or other sharp object can easily stab him. Here is a violated basic rule of self-defense: "Never stand still and never put yourself to a dead end."

 He is attempting to disarm the perp and the pistol's muzzle is pointing at his face at the same time the perp's other hand is free to attack him. Avoid it!!!

Dangerous gun disarming techniques . Part 9 - By George Mimmis

 

You must clear and control the muzzle when doing a gun disarm. You must clear it off of yourself and  not direct it towards another innocent person. You must have control of that gun so they can’t pull it back or just randomly fire and hit other people. That means wrapping your hand and fingers securely around the slide. No fingers in front of the muzzle!

Self-defense using a knife by George Mimmis

 If you ever need to defend your life using a knife you have to surprise your opponent. Pull your knife unexpectedly and be quick and ruthless. Prefer to stab rather than cut. Go for the thoracic area, the neck, the femoral artery, the anus, the brachial artery or the groin. You must have a knife that is easy to deploy and you must carry it in a way that is easy to pull it when the need arise.

Chose a knife with a strait blade and keep the edge razor sharp. Avoid knives with curved blades (you can't stab).

Test your night vision by George Mimmis

Nighttime activities involve much lower-contrast surroundings than they would during the day.  The Pelli Robson contrast sensitivity chart tests your ability to detect letters that are gradually less contrasted with the white background

 

Fighting in the dark by George Mimmis

 Most crimes happen at night and in low light conditions. So most of your training should be in a low light environment. 

You don't need only muscle memory
(to perform a task automatically through repetition) for your body but also for your
eyes to rely on peripheral more than central vision.
With the Raptor Krav Maga self-defense system you learn to fight in the dark.
Darkness will be your friend and not your enemy.
It will offer you cover and unpleasant surprises to the attacker.

How to stay safe in public places - by George Mimmis

 What should you do if you suspect that you're being followed?

Don't go home. Instead, go to a public area e.g. a restaurant and call the police. Then alert the manager. This way, if the stalker comes in, there's someone who knows what is going on.

Some good news , a pedophile paid the price!

Don't be a victim - By George Mimmis

 

Self-Defense: Turning Fear Into Action

To assume that women are simply “easy prey” is to misunderstand the nature of violence. An assault is not necessarily a contest of size or strength. In many real-world situations, the decisive factors are awareness, timing, preparation, surprise, and the ability to act under pressure.

An attacker may rely on surprise and the victim’s momentary confusion. In those critical seconds, hesitation can become a serious disadvantage. Self-defense training is not about making you stronger than an attacker. It is about preparing you to recognize danger, respond decisively, and create an opportunity to escape.

What can self-defense training do for you?

If someone grabbed you from behind, would you know how to react?

If you were pushed against a wall, would you know how to create space and escape?

If someone suddenly attacked you, would you freeze—or would you have a plan?

These are not hypothetical questions. In a violent confrontation, there may be no time to think through a technique for the first time. Training gives you the opportunity to practice appropriate responses before you need them.

You cannot control the actions of an attacker. You cannot eliminate every risk. But you can improve your awareness, preparation, confidence, and ability to respond under stress.

Fear Is Natural. Panic Doesn't Have to Control You.

Fear is one of the body's natural responses to danger. In the moments immediately before or during an assault, you may experience confusion, disbelief, hesitation, or even temporary freezing. These reactions are not signs of weakness—they are natural responses to a sudden threat.

The objective of self-defense training is not to eliminate fear.

The objective is to learn how to act despite it.

Through realistic and progressive training, you can become more familiar with the physical and psychological demands of a threatening situation. Instead of relying entirely on instinct in an unfamiliar situation, you can draw upon practiced responses and a clear mindset: recognize the threat, act decisively, and get to safety.

A violent attacker may choose the time, place, and circumstances of an assault. Your preparation determines how you respond when those circumstances suddenly change.

Self-defense is not about looking for a fight.

It is about being prepared to survive one—and escape it.

Knife attacks in public places is an everyday occurrence . By George Mimmis

• A knife fight broke out between Algerian illegal immigrants resulting in the death of one of them. This took place at a time when the place was full of innocent passers-by.
• In particular, as thestival.gr reports, the 20-year-old perpetrator of the murder entered a fast food restaurant in Aristotelous Str. covered in blood, grabbed a knife and ran to Makedonikis Aminis Str., where he stabbed to death the 24-year-old, who allegedly attacked him.
• Are you ready to face a similar situation? Can you defend yourself or your loved ones?

Mass knife attacks. Α threat on the rise - Clear and present danger - Part three by George Mimmis

In case you will find yourselves in the center of a mass knife attack and you can not escape then you should try to neutralize

the perpetrator. To succeed you must act in groups. If the attack occurs in a mall two or three people in the team using supermarket carts can immobilize the loony while the others will attack him with every item at their disposal. Fire extinguishers, bottles, cans, any heavy object or tools.

We never try to disarm the culprit with bare hands unless we have no other choice and we are with our backs against the wall.

PS If you are living in the free world and you got a concealed weapons permit just make sure what is behind the goblin and send him to meet his forefathers.

NEUTRALIZE NOT JUST DISARM!!

 

Mass knife attacks. Α threat on the rise - Clear and present danger - Part Two

We are living in strange times . 

In particular,followers of a certain religion (Islam) are targeting innocent people at random in public places .This is a fact that nobody can question.

We don't care why these fanatics are doing that! We are here to find ways to come out safe if happened to be present in a mass stabbing attack.

 In the event that this happens indoors, we immediately head to the exit that is in the opposite direction from the terrorist. If we have small children with us, we take them in our arms and walk away with a fast pace . We DON'T run. We also pay attention not to fall into an ambush by any accomplices of the culprit who started the attack.

 As soon as we move away from the dangerous place we call the police and report the attack clearly without panic screams and unnecessary information. We describe the terrorist if we have seen him and the exact point of the attack.
