Self Defense

On Saturday the entire recruitment team took a self defense training course together. We learned tools to deescalate a situation... like yell STOP! if someone walks towards you... or yell I DON'T KNOW YOU so other people know you're being attacked. Good stuff, really. We even learned the pivot-push turn then run away in the other direction direction technique. For 15 minutes we simulated this situation: Someone is walking towards you and is getting aggressive. You back up slowly and then throw something, anything (in this simulation it was a towel) in their face, and then run the other way. In official self defense school, we learned to throw something in our aggressor's face. Yes. The highlight of the day was Garza, a 6' 3'' member of the recruitment team in full drag and 4 inch gold stilettos. I could barely do the training in flats without getting injured, but Garza did it in heels and pleather leopard leggings. Here is a youtube video with Garza on Sex Toys - it's both educational and funny.
