Conflict Resolution &
safe defense program

Bullys Dojo offers a True self defense; Protecting yourself without injuring your attacker.

Introduction

Safe Defense is a unique 'True' self-defense skill set built around the potential for conflict resolution & peace agreement, even if agreeing to respectfully disagree. It is safe & natural language developed for navigating person-to-person conflict, de-escalating a tense situation, and guiding ad-hoc street mediation. Safe Defense video curriculum teaches strategy for dealing with verbal everyday 'FOULs' and extends into skills for evading certain dangerous physical threats. The 12 You-Tube video Lessons are brief (5 min) and direct. (Please forgive my laughably amateurish animation!) Links to all videos, a final assessment, and a Certificate of Completion are free and offered below, as well as additional supporting materials. Please read on, check out the curriculum, and share these ideas with other family, friends, and your larger community.

Safe Defense recasts the term 'self-defense' and adds a new one: 'FOUL'. A FOUL is any act (or word) intended to hurt, harm or intimidate. A FOUL may be verbal such as name calling and taunting or physical such as punching and violence. Big or small, insulting or demeaning, if the intent is to hurt, harm, or intimidate, it's a FOUL. Safe-Defense is 'True' self-defense because you "protect yourself without injuring your attacker" (J. Mitose*). Any True self-defense works with an intention to diffuse and/or understand, not an intention to harm. It is this intention that makes Safe Defense a True self-defense with specific language skills that extend into physical 'move the target' (your body) techniques for situations that threaten danger.

Many problems & conflicts are difficult to address because there are FOULs blocking the peaceful path. Removing FOULs with Safe Defense features such as FOUL Buster and then following the PeaceDNA Critical Path (to Peace Agreement) means that the mystery of what to do next, is solved. A lot of the fear around conflict is shown to be quite manageable once you have a map...once you know what to do. Safe Defense is a broad-range tool that maintains professionalism, builds relationship and trust, and contributes to a positive community ethic.

FIGHT/FLIGHT/FIGURE IT OUT (with Safe Defense)

Authentic Power will come with Safe Defense Peace curriculum practice because it’s based on understanding what’s going on with Conflict, Fouls & Remedy. It uses your own natural language and words by laying out a map or recipe for how to navigate through Conflict (PeaceDNA). This, along with de-escalation skills (FOUL Buster) and a physical self-defense built around moving the attacker's target (Peace Moves), makes Safe Defense a full spectrum program for both peacemaking & self protection.
