Aureum Resort and Spa Inle Lake http://aureumpalacehotel.com/inle-index.htm

This is a new upscale resort in Inle Lake, an Aureum chain that is expanding further in Inle Lake (Mine Thauk Village). A high-end resort with 66 units of exclusive super-deluxe accommodation straddling the edge of Inle Lake that has opened in early 2012.

After the manner of Aureum’s hallmark distinctive design, the sprawling resort is perched on the edge of lake waters with the main facilities and front-row villas spilling over onto the lake and on-shore villas hugging the banks of the lake.

100 square meter bedrooms are elegantly decorated with generous space for the bathroom and Jacuzzi and lavishly equipped with five-star amenities.

With a private outdoor terrace for viewing a spectacular sunset over the lake, Aureum Resort & Spa is poised to offer an unsurpassed hotel experience at this unique destination.

Just a short flight from Yangon or Mandalay, in the cool green highlands of Shan State, and yet seemingly worlds apart from the rest of Myanmar, lies Inle Lake, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The lake itself sits at a pleasant 2,900 feet above sea level and is famous for its leg rowers, floating markets and prolific birdlife. In this unique wetland environment, whole villages sit on floating islands on the lake. Colorful hill tribes inhabit the surrounding fertile valleys and forested mountaintops, and their hand-woven silks are a specialty of the region.

SAFE International Launches Barrie Private Self Defense Lessons – Barrie, ON Self Defense

Leave a comment

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include private self defense lessons in Barrie, ON.

Barrie, ON, March 13, 2012 – (Straight Line PR) – Barrie Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Barrie Private Self Defense Lessons

SAFE International ™ is the leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in Ontario. SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include private self defense lessons in Barrie, ON.

SAFE International realizes that both women and men don’t necessarily want to join a martial arts club, or even take a public self defense seminar. SAFE International provides their mobile self defense right in the home. This allows SAFE International instructors to tailor the course based on the specific needs and concerns of the client. Self defense training in the home allows the client to be completely relaxed and comfortable training, without being self-conscious of others who might be watching in a public self defense course.

One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching private self defense Barrie, is how receptive men and women are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows the client to learn in a much shorter time. While some people have hours to dedicate to training, SAFE International can offer some basic, but effective self defense concepts in just a few hours.

SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one’s daily routines such as using elevators, car safety, home safety, plus much more. We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn’t want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage such as asking for directions or the time. The next stage is verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible. Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, SAFE International covers a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario.

The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Barrie private self defense lessons. Instructors begin with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance. SAFE teaches gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. Complex skills are proven to be ineffective in the high stress of real violence. The main philosophy taught is to “Attack the Attacker” which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator.

SAFE International does not teach martial arts, but rather, practical, easy to adopt and highly effective concepts. Barrie Private Self Defense is available to individuals, families, couples, or friends.

SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 clients including mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.
