SAFE International Launches Ottawa Executive Self Defense Lessons– Ottawa, ON Self Defense

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

Ottawa, ON, January 31, 2013 – (Straight Line PR) – Ottawa Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Ottawa Executive Self Defense Lessons.

SAFE International ™ is the leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in Canada. SAFE International has taught more than 175,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include executive self defense lessons in Ottawa, ON.

SAFE International realizes that busy executives don’t necessarily want to join a martial arts club, or have the time to take a public self defense seminar. SAFE International will provide their mobile self defense right in the office. This allows SAFE International instructors to tailor the course based on the specific needs and concerns of the client. Self defense training in the office allows the client to be completely relaxed and comfortable training even with their busy and hectic schedules.

One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching executive personal protection Ottawa, 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 Ottawa executive 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. Ottawa Personal Protection for executives is available one on one or to a small group right at your location/office.

SAFE International has taught more than 175,000 clients including many in the corporate environment. To contact SAFE International and Chris Roberts to schedule your Self Defense lessons for executives, you can visit their main site at www.safeinternational.biz

Jack micro is back in a new, highly anticipated format with more intense, quality ingredients and without the previously banned ingredient 13 dimethylene. Sports labs have been busy developing the improved version of this exciting pre-workout replacement, which includes a powerful combination of bio-molecular mimickers, advanced vasodilators, and strengthening amines. This supplement will take your training to a whole new level, allowing you to push your muscle building to the absolute limit. Jack3d micro contains special micro shot technology, which is designed to stimulate your muscles and activate their top performance. Micro shot contains a precise ratio of CNS ingredients that- if used effectively -can produce previously unrivalled workout results.

When you first begin weight training, competition can be fierce. Most pro weightlifters use at least some kind of supplement to improve their strength workout and muscle size, so there’s no need to be concerned about trying supplement muscle building aids. When taking a workout supplement, it is important to choose one that is not only effective for muscle growth, but easy to take and bursting with healthy ingredients; as a dietary supplement, Jack3d micro has everything covered, from performance nutrients to vitamin C, so you can feel in top condition on a daily basis. This product features isolated amino properties such as whey protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair.

In support of World Diabetes Day, Harvey Norman’s Connected Fitness team research reveals that 280 Australians develop diabetes every day

In support of World Diabetes Day (14 November), Harvey Norman’s Connected Fitness team carried out a detailed research project to uncover the extent of Australia’s type 2 diabetes problem. The worrying results indicate that an estimated 1.7 million Australians suffer from type 2 diabetes today, with up to half of these cases currently undiagnosed. Reports from The World Health Organisation indicate that the total number of diabetic Australians is expected to increase to 3.3 million by 2031, creating a healthcare timebomb for the country. An infographic to visually represent the results has been specially commissioned and can be found on theHarvey Norman website.

Diabetes can significantly impact the quality of life and life expectancy of its sufferers. Some of the potential health complications caused by the disease include kidney damage, heart disease and stroke, loss of vision, and foot ulcers leading to limb amputation. The long term impacts on the life of the sufferer, and on healthcare costs for the country, are significant. However, it is known that up to around 60% of cases of type 2 diabetescould be prevented.

Key steps that can be taken to help prevent the development of this killer disease include eating a healthy diet, cutting out tobacco, keeping alcohol consumption within sensible limits and taking regular exercise. Walking, running and cycling are all great forms of exercise that enable people to work at their own pace and can easily be carried out in the home using treadmills and exercise bikes. Harvey Norman’s Connected Fitness team are on hand to provide help and advice on suitable fitness equipment and tools that can make it easy for people to increase their levels of activity and monitor their progress.

Harvey Norman’s Daniel Hosford, says: “World Diabetes Day should be an important date in everyone’s diary. Harvey Norman understands the importance of following a healthy lifestyle in order to protect against this debilitating disease and we’d like to do our bit to support the aims of the day. Our Connected Fitness team are happy to help our customers find the right equipment to help them take part in a healthy level of exercise, and our range is also available to purchase online for those customers who don’t have a store nearby. ”

* How would I handle someone who approached me in an underground parking lot?

* Should I carry my purse over one shoulder or crossways?

* What should I say to a potential attacker to possibly stop him from attacking me?
