The principals of the LEo/Prfessional course can be applied by anyone. Dr. Thompson has several books/videos out on the topic of Verbal Judo that you can pick up to get an idea on what Verbal Judo is all about.

I believe that awareness and avoidance are the first line of self protection. If awareness and avoidance fail, or are inapproprate, then communication and dialogue come into play

Panther: As I have always said, don’t be afraid to question and don’t just follow!!!! I think this will be our first interaction on this or any topic on this forum, and I am looking forward to the challenge of explaining my thought process with respect to my third example in the above posting. IMO, ...

The Power Of Semantics (The Use Of Choice Speech): The power of words (semantics) has been the catalyst, in many cases, that has caused countries to go to war. The same holds true for individual self-protection encounters, which are really just a war in microcosm. Time and time again, I have seen ph...

As I have said several times, you may live by the sword, but you are judged by the pen. Your skill and knowledge in the field of Law, witness management, pre-trail investigation, courtroom procedure, and more importantly the reality of self-protection is what made the difference to your client’s fre...

Len: Thanks for the welcome, and I'm glad you have enjoyed the articles that I have posted over in Mr VanCanna's Forum. I look forward to the interaction in this very important topic area. Pre-contact verbals is a very important topic area, but one that is often overlooked in combatives. Strength an...

Student: Thank you. I thought it might have been Tony's quote, but I wasn't sure. I trained with Tony once back in 1992 during a two day seminar that he put on here in Victoria. Both he and I had much in common, and we synergized a lot during those two days about the who,what,where,when, how, and wh...

To support what Lee has said, I have this to offer. I posted this information over on Van's forum, but I also know it fits well here. just for those who don't know, I'm also a certified Hypnotherapist (CHt) and am working towards my master certification in NLP. An instructor once said (don't remembe...

Lee: Right on !!!!! in fact your posting leads me right into my next post that I might as well just add onto here: THE RECOVERY PROCESS: Can a survivor truly “heal” after being sexually assaulted? The answer depends on your interpretation of the word “heal”. Webster’s defines “heal” as “to make or b...

Dana: Thanks for your support. Safety and Self Protection is a passion of mine. In my 15yrs as a police officer up here in Canada, I have seen to much victimization, due to the lack of knowledge. This is the reason for the last sentence in my post " KNOWLEDGE AND THE UNDERSTANDING OF THAT KNOWL...

Acquaintance or “Date” Rape: First of all, rape is rape, it doesn’t matter if the suspect is someone you know or a complete stranger. The sad reality however, is that if you are going to be sexually assaulted, your attacker will probably be someone you know, love, or trust. In fact, in Canada, 83% o...
