Protect & Defend- The Vigilant Family
In today’s rapidly evolving society, we are all facing the challenges of raising our families in unpredictable times where crime and personal safety threats have changed how we all live. Confidence in the government and law enforcement are at all-time lows, inflation is nearing record levels, crime has skyrocketed, arrests and prosecutions are at unprecedented lows, deadly drugs have infiltrated every aspect of our communities, and natural and man-made disasters have caused unheard of damage, exposing the abject failure of the government to handle the emergency at the time or in the aftermath. For all of our families to live the best lives possible, knowledge, vigilance and preparedness are essential.
Traditionally, family safety falls on one person, usually the man of the house, and the rest of the family takes it for granted that he will be there to protect them in their time of need. He may or may not have a background where their skill set would be particularly useful (law enforcement, military, combat sports, etc.), or at least minimal training in a specific technique or tool that will help everyone survive. However, if you are anything like our family, you are often going in several different directions at the same time. My wife is out with the kids, I’m tied up somewhere else, and the oldest out with his friends or working. Are you and the rest of your family prepared to survive an encounter with or without the rest of your family there?
In reality, the majority of men throughout our culture have never been in a fist fight, let alone a fight where the lives of their families depend on it. We, as a population, have been told that there is never any circumstance where violence is necessary, it is archaic, barbaric, and toxic. We pay outrageous amounts of money to be protected by the government and police, who are supposed to be a phone call away. They are now responsible for our safety and security, nothing to worry about, it is all taken care of. Where are they now and how long will it take for them to get to you?
Most women are either by themselves or with their children the majority of the time. The average woman and their families have no idea where to begin and nowhere to comfortably ask questions and get reliable answers. How can they keep themselves and their families safe in today’s world? Men and women are different, we see and process information differently. Our family wants to help you and your family bridge that gap so that both sides can understand each other, communicate, and act together in their planning and preparations, to avoid/overcome any dangerous situations. Adding our children into the mix increases the level of complexity exponentially. Knowing how and being able to talk to them and help them understand what is going on, what to look for, and how to act will help reduce their levels of anxiety and boost their confidence.
While the focus has been on individual safety, and we want to broaden that scope to include all couples and families so that they can deal with a situation as a team. Building awareness, knowledge, self-defense, safety, and survival skills will make you and your family more capable and confident. Confidence is one of the leading reasons why criminals will not choose you or your family as victims. “We Teach Confidence.”
