UTILIZE in the self defense realm brings to mind pictures of Jason Bourne in the classic Bourne Identity movie series using everything around him including towels, chairs, other bad guys, and even a pencil stabbed into the back of some bad guy’s hand as a weapon.
UTILIZE in self defense may be using the surrounding cars as a shield, passers by to assist, and even deceit. That’s right, to a little girl evading abduction anything is fair even pretending some nice man standing nearby is your daddy even if he's not.
In Life Defense we are sometimes blind to the things that exist in our lives that may easily assist us. If we are suffering at times we choose to suffer alone and not UTILIZE others interaction.
At other times we UTILIZE people, places and things around us in an inefficient way. It’s like using a cell phone by throwing it at attacker after it’s too late, instead of calling 911 at the first sign of something going down.
As self-defense practitioners we must look at everything around us as something to be UTILIZED. In Life Defense it is the same. Everything has a primary use, UTILIZING is the creative aspect of using everything at your disposal to create the outcome you are looking for. UTILIZE!
