Get Real Self Defense Podcast

10/03/23 • 74 min

When you think of self-defense, your mind probably jumps to martial arts or some form of physical combat. But what if I told you that the key to effective self-defense and personal development lies in something much simpler, something as natural as movement? Welcome to another thought-provoking episode where we have the pleasure of hosting Rafe Kelly from Evolve Move Play. Rafe, a beacon of resilience, shares his personal triumph over ADHD and dyslexia through the transformative power of movement and play.
Throughout our conversation, Rafe offers illuminating insights into his work at Evolve Move Play, a unique blend of dance, tribal movement, parkour, and martial arts designed to promote growth and wellbeing. We also take a deep dive into the profound impact of movement on our health, how it shapes our gene expression, and how we can harness its power to bring more meaning into our lives. This can be especially crucial in our society today, which has increasingly shifted away from the significance of embodiment.
Finally, we touch upon the essential task of teaching children self-defense and the importance of developing situational awareness. From martial arts to parkour, we explore how physical activities can build confidence and strength in children. However, it's not just about preparing for potential threats. It's about empowering children with the knowledge and skills to navigate life in a safer, healthier, and more intentional manner. So, join us for a riveting discussion on the essence of self-defense, the role of movement in personal development, and the wonder that is the human body in motion. You won't want to miss it!

What if your social media posts or even your choice of clothing could be used against you in court? How well do you understand the fine line between social posturing and asocial violence? With the insightful guidance of Tom Grieve, an ex-criminal prosecutor and a leading criminal defense attorney in Wisconsin, we step into the intricate crossroads of self-defense and the legal system.

Ep #25: The Proactive Approach to Crisis - Self-Regulation and De-Escalation Mastery with Andy Prisco

Get Real Self Defense Podcast

10/31/23 • 74 min

Imagine having the skillset to confidently handle any crisis situation, to de-escalate with poise and defuse tension like a pro. That's precisely what you'll gain from our enlightening conversation with Andy Prisco, founder of one of the largest psychiatric emergency response team programs in the U.S. and developer of the first and only crisis intervention verbal de-escalation certification. This episode delivers a deep dive into the importance of competence-based training in personal safety and the transformative impact it can have on your ability to manage crises, both in the professional world and at home.
Who'd have thought Star Wars could teach us valuable lessons about self-regulation and de-escalation? We take a leaf from Qui-Gon's book in his iconic lightsaber battle against Darth Maul, analyzing how his calm approach compares to aggressive responses in tricky situations. We then bring it closer to home, discussing how such techniques can positively influence our familial relationships and why our homes make the perfect training grounds. Andy also shares the profound significance of listening and posture in communication, how to utilize validation statements, and the potent role of identity in conflict management.
But what of the moments when our back's against the wall, when we feel cornered, helpless? We tackle the dangers of this sense of helplessness in de-escalation, using the metaphor of a 'porcupine' versus a 'wounded tiger'. Andy enlightens us on how involving people in crisis in the decision-making process can lead to safer, more manageable outcomes. We critique the alarming tendency of the healthcare industry to default to physical restraints and highlight alternative, more effective de-escalation techniques. This thought-provoking discussion on self-regulation, de-escalation skills, and the resources available through Jumpstart Mastery is a must-listen for everyone.
