How to Use "NO" for Women's Self Defense

Video Transcript

"The power of NO. We're still talking about preventative measures, you don't want to ever have to fight if you can prevent it. So right now we're going to talk about how powerful your NO actually is. So here is the thing; you have personal space it's about 2 feet in front of you, 2 feet on the side of you, 2 feet behind you. People that we love, people that we know and people that we care about really well, we allow them to come into our 2 feet of personal space, we hug them and whatever. However, when it's a stranger or someone that we're not comfortable with, when they invade that personal space you automatically feel it. Some times you feel it in your stomach, some people feel it in their chest, some people feel it in their nose. I've actually heard a woman say they can feel their warning signal is that her nose starts to feel warm. It's this warm tingly sensation that something is not right and someone is too close to me. Alright, so here's the thing; when someone is getting too close to you the first thing you want to do is give a very aggressive NO and it's not a no from your throat like no, no don't hurt me bad man. It's more NO, you want them to know that you have a point stay away from me bad guy, you know what I mean. So if someone is coming closer to you and you don't really know them, you want to say NO. Give them a very obvious, a very strong NO and then if that doesn't work, NO use your hands, get your hands up. This also makes sure that the personal space that's in front of you, he can not penetrate through your personal space. So put your hands up, give him a very big NO and make sure that they back up. Energy transfers so you're shooting your energy forward with a big NO letting them know that's it's not okay to come closer to you. Alright, so that's the power of NO."
