Years ago I worked for/with the CHILD LURES Crime Prevention Program which I presented to over 250,000 kids and teens during a three-year period. I worked with and trained another 40,000+ professionals via in-service seminars as well.
The CHILD LURES program is an excellent resource not only for kids, but ADULTS! I have used the same information to teach adult awareness programs as to how criminals "lure" their victims vs. point a gun or knife at them. This program is not only endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, but also utilized by the U.S. Secret Service.
As well as punching, kicking, etc, let's not forget to teach people how to use their minds and tap into their instincts. Remember, the first step of self-defense is DON'T BE THERE!
Just Google CHILD LURES for more info on that program...
