Julian S.T.O.R.M. Offers Self-Defense Course
by Annete Retz
We have been approached
by many concerned individuals
and parents in Julian who
have requested that the Julian
S.T.O.R.M. offer another summer
Self-Defense Course. We had a
successful course last summer
and through word of mouth,
people have been made aware
of the course and are now asking
for a course this summer.
When the horrific news of the
murders of Amber Dubois and
Chelsea King arrived in Julian,
women, parents and teens
became scared of the threat
hitting so close to home. At
about the same time, news
came that a real estate agent in
Corona, when doing her job of
showing a home, was savagely
attacked by a predator disguised
as a client. There are too many
sad stories told of unsuspecting
women, teens and children of all
ages being the prime target of
predators.
The reality that there are
bad people out in the world is
something that we can't deny;
this is an absolute. The fact
that monsters really do exist, is
something that we as parents
hate to admit. These bad
people prey on the weak and
unsuspecting to victimize; this is
a fact. We teach our children to
do their best and be all that they
can be. We look with excitement
at the potential in each of them
and treasure and encourage
their hopes and dreams for
life. Sadly there are parents
whom this privilege of watching
their children grow up has been
taken from them, robbed from
them. What can we do as adults
to protect ourselves and our
children? The answer is simple,
awareness and preparation!
The Academy is NOT trying to
instill fear into anyone. We are
promoting awareness and a way
of having peace, of mind through
knowledge and the ability to
protect ones' self and loved ones.
The basics of Self- Defense
alone could make the difference
in potentially becoming a victim
OR getting away and having
the attacker identified,, tagged
and convicted. There was a
22 year old woman visiting San
Diego from Colorado who had
gone for a run. While on her
run, she was tackled down by a
predator, possibly the same one
who attacked and killed Dubois
and King. She was attacked but
knew how to strike her assailant
in the face with her elbow which
allowed her to escape. She
claimed her ability to get away
was due to her knowledge of and
training in Self-Defense.
Victims of crimes often freeze
from sheer terror when being
attacked. With only moments
to react, fear, lack of knowledge
and training of how and when to
react often takes that opportunity
away.
We as Instructors want to
help anyone who is interested
in developing/improving their
reaction time to a possible attack
and increasing their ability to
fight off an assailant. Knowledge
is something that you keep with
you and will have for the rest
of your life! You can share this
knowledge with those you love
and care for and help them to be
prepared as well.
At the Julian resident's request,
we are offering a Self-Defense
Course that will involve assault-
type situations as well as how
to fight back when a weapon
is involved. Students receive
training on how to fight off their
Instructor's who will be playing
the roles of simulated and fully-
padded attackers. The students
will be instructed on how to strike
the Instructor's, how to end the
threat and get away. It will be a
Krav Maga-style Course of Self-
Defense.
20 pre-enrolled students ages
15 and up, men & women are
needed to guarantee the course,
Course is to commence on Friday
evening, July 9th 6:30-8:30 for
Four weeks on Friday evenings
and will be held at the Julian Jr.
High Wolf Den.
If you have any questions and
are interested in taking the Self
Defense Course, please contact
Julian S.T.O.R.M. Instructor-
Annette Retz at (760) 765-
0644. Sifu Annette Retz
and Sensei James Schrader will
be instructing the course.
Remember the Academy
is promoting awareness and
preparation NOT fear.
Knowledge is power! Don't be
a victim. Be prepared, protect
yourself & othersT

What Is
Krav Maga
from Wikipedia
The name in Hebrew means
"hand-to:hand combat". Krav
meaning "combat" and Maga
meaning "contact" or "touch".
Generally, there are no rules
in Krav Maga, as it is a defense
fighting technique which is not
regulated, but utilized to keep
the user safe and incapacitate
the opponent by any means
necessary. Men and women
generally undergo the same drills.
It has no sporting federation, and
there are no official uniforms
or attire, although some
organizations do recognize
progress through training with
rank badges, different levels, and
belts.
General principles include:
• Counter attacking as soon
as possible (or attacking
preemptively).
• Targeting attacks to the
body's most vulnerable points
such as the eyes, jaw, throat,
groin, knee etc.
• Neutralizing the opponent as
quickly as possible by responding
with an unbroken stream of
counter attacks and if necessary
a take down/joint break.
• Maintaining awareness of
surroundings while dealing with
the threat in order to look for
escape routes, further attackers,
objects that could be used to
defend or help attack and so on.
Basic training is a mixed
aerobic and anaerobic workout.
Protective pads and other
personal protection equipment
may be used during initial
training. Scenarios are used to
train personnel for situations
typically encountered in street
patrol or combat situations.
• Training scenarios teach
students to ignore distractions.
[16] Other training methods to
increase realism might include
blindfolding or exercising trainees
to near exhaustion before
dealing with a simulated attack,
as well as training outdoors on a
variety of surfaces and restrictive
situations.
Training also covers situational
awareness to develop an
understanding of one's
surroundings and potentially
threatening circumstances
be%re an attack occurs. It may
also cover ways to deal with
potentially violent situations, and
physical and verbal methods
to avoid violence whenever
possible.
Krav Maga was developed in
Czechoslovakia in the 1930s
by Iri Lichtenfeld , also known
as Imi Sde-Or (Sde-Or - "Light
Field"- a caique of his surname
into Hebrew). He first taught his
fighting system in Bratislava in
order to help protect the local
Jewish community from the Nazi
militia. Upon arriving in the British
Mandate of Palestine, Imi began
teaching Kapap to the Haganah,
the Jewish underground army.

With the establishment of the
State of Israel in 1948, Imi
became the Chief Instructor of
Physical Fitness and Krav Maga
at the Israel Defense Forces
(IDF) School of Combat Fitness.
He served in the IDF for 15 years,
during which time he continued to
develop and refine his hand-to-
hand combat method. In 1964 he
left the military though continued
to supervise the instruction of
Krav Maga in both military and
law-enforcement contexts, and
in addition, worked indefatigably
to refine, improve and adapt Krav
Maga to meet civilians needs. In
1978, Imi founded the non-profit
Israeli Krav Maga Association
with several senior instructors.
He died in January 1998 in
Netanya, Israel.
Prior to 1980, all experts in Krav
Maga lived in Israel and trained
under the Israeli Krav Maga
Association. That year marks the
beginning .of contact between
Israeli Krav Maga experts and
interested students in the United
States. In 1981, a group of six
Krav Maga instructors traveled
to the US to demonstrate their
system, primarily to local Jewish
Community Centers. The New
York Field Office of the FBI and
the FBI's Main Training Center
at Quantico, Virginia saw it and
expressed interest. The result
was a visit by 22 people from
the US to Israel in the summer
of 1981 to attend a basic Krav
Maga instructor course. The
graduates from this course
returned to the US and began to
establish training facilities in their
local areas. Additional students
traveled to Israel in 1984 and
again in 1986 to become
instructors. At the same time,
instructors from Israel continued
to visit the US. Law Enforcement
training in the US began in 1985.
Krav Maga is currently being
taught as a primary hand-to-
hand combat technique among
Police Departments in the United
States.
All Israel Defense Forces
soldiers, including all Israeli
Special Forces units[9], learn
Krav Maga as part of their
basic training, although most
non-Special Forces trainees
only spend a small amount of
time training in Krav Maga, up
to a week of training for a few
hours per day. Further, Krav
Maga is the defensive tactics
system used to train the Israeli
Police, Israeli Intelligence and all
Security Divisions. Krav Maga is
also taught to civilians, military,
law enforcement and security
agencies around the world. The
Swedish Army uses Krav Maga
lightly in close combat training for
urban warfare. The International
Krav Maga Federation in Netanya
outside of Israel trains some
of the world's top bodyguards,
who use Krav Maga as a trade
fighting art since it includes
several exercises in evacuating
a VIP through a hostile crowd.
Also, the tactics for dispatching
several opponents quickly is vital
for personal protection agents.
