I Can Go for a Corona with a Lime
!
As of this writing, the world as we know it is changing by the minute. The pandemic COVID-19 is hitting the United States pretty hard and people are a little confused and anxious about what is going on. Sadly, but right on time the dregs of our society come out to prey on good people and you see and hear about the next wave of scams coming our way. People become victims quickly when approached or spoken to over the phone by these scam artists.
Fear and nervousness can cause a disruption in our thought process and under stress we can make bad decisions. Bad decisions that can cause a financial loss, loss of property or a loss of one’s life.
The ability to concentrate is an essential skill for an effective response to this situation. If you are nervous or frightened you need to stop and think about your next move. Do not jump into something out of overreaction! If you are not sure who you are speaking to just stop the conversation and move on. If the conversation is on the phone, hang up.
Understand that you need to be in control of your decisions. Take a deep breath and think about your next move!
Yes, the world is changing by the minute but, we will all get through this if we play as a team.

Learn what it takes to defend yourself from the ground, in common life threatening situations. This workshop focuses on women's self defense techniques that are used if you have been knocked to the ground and/or an attacker is on top of you. These techniques are designed to help women deal with potentially dangerous situations.
Creating realism and adrenal response, self defense techniques will be practiced using full-contact against heavily padded attackers (role players) in a simulation training environment.

Firearms Training Tip of the Week
|
|
Don’t Be That Guy
According to some friends in the firearms and ammunition business and the latest news broadcasts the sales of firearms and ammunition are sky rocketing since the announcement of this worldwide pandemic – COVID-19. People who have never fired a gun in their lives are running out in droves to buy firearms for self-protection. Some, from what I’m hearing were anti-gun up to this point! That doesn’t matter to me what does matter is how many of these new gun owners are seeking proper training at this point?
If you are new to the shooting sports, shooting for self- protection and self-preservation please get into a class for proper firearms training. There is a lot more to carrying a firearm or keeping one in the house for protection than meets the untrained eye. Don’t be that guy or gal that becomes a liability to yourself or your family. Knowledge is power! The hospital or prison is the last place you want to be right now.

Exercise Drill: Squat Press and Throw
Heels grounded, come to a squat position (as if sitting in an invisible chair). Drive through the heels to jump, and throw the ball straight up as high as possible—then take a quick step back to let the ball hit the ground, pick up using your legs not your back, and repeat.
