My name is Gennifer Akroyd. I am a mother.. a wife.. a teacher.. a daughter..and a sister... I am a real person.
16 years ago, someone tried to put another label on me..
"victim".
I had taken basic self defense classes prior to that day and he got more than he bargained for when he grabbed me.
Instead of becoming his "victim".. I chose another label for myself... "Survivor" ....
Prior to that day, I had never truly given my personal security a thought. Sure, I'd taken the self defense classes but I never really believed I would need those skills. That was something that happened to other people.. not to me.
The dusky, early evening when I needed those skills, I was not in some dark alley or in a bad neighborhood.
I was 10 feet from my own front door.
You can do all you can to avoid trouble... but, sometimes it comes looking for you.
Are you prepared if it does??
"Danger is real, Fear is a Choice...."
This is my mantra.
As women, we need to feel secure and we need a plan.
I became a Damsel in Defense in April. I believe EVERY woman should have the plan, skills and equipment to defend themselves should trouble come to find them.
I do Self Defense seminars and teach basic self defense skills... not fancy ones like the martial arts guys teach.. I teach down and dirty SURVIVAL skills that will get you out of an altercation, should you ever find yourself in one.
I also carry a full line of NON-LETHAL self defense products through Damsel in Defense. I believe the NON-LETHAL part is important. As women, we are nurturing caregivers. Most, if faced with danger would still hesitate to pull a trigger and end a life... even when fearing for your own.
Hesitation is the last thing you need when threatened. When you have NON-Lethal options, there is no hesitation to use them. You aren't going to kill anyone.. but YOU are going to survive and get away. At the end of the day, THAT is the most important outcome.
