In this episode we talk about the actual words we use and how we can create safety through their application as a self-defense tool. Of all the tools, the voice and our verbal self-defense can go the farthest towards preventing unwanted attention and situations. As with all of Empowerment Self Defense, we’re also going to look at the multitude of ways words can impact the quality of our lives and the way we walk through the world, which keeps us safer. I’ll give you examples, stories to illustrate the strategies and solid suggestions for practicing so you can get really good at this. #theempowermentpodcast, #empowerment, #empowermentselfdefense, #nagacommunity

Today, we get to spend some time with Py Bateman! Py is one of the original founders of what has become the Empowerment Self Defense Movement. When Py began training Karate, she was one of only a very small handful of women in the martial arts. Py was the founder of the Feminist Karate Union in Seattle, which is still going strong today. Py was Chief Instructor there from 1971 through 1984. Back in 1978, Py published “Fear Into Anger: A Manual of Self Defense for Women” which you can still buy on Amazon. There was even a song written about her by The Righteous Mothers call, aptly, “PY”. Be sure to look it up!
Py has been one of my heroes since I first heard her name back in the early 90’s when I was a self-defense teacher wannabe. Some of you will remember Py’s amazing story from episode #2. If you haven’t heard that episode yet, about the continuum of sexual assault, be sure to go back and listen!

Join host, Silvia Smart, as she speaks with Martha Thompson, Senior Lead Instructor at Impact Chicago for over 30 years, academic and current NWMAF Self Defense Coordinator.

Does the patch look familiar? Ariel Estrada is a teammate sharing his experience training and surviving through theater. Jeff and I kept our beloved martial arts school going in spite of the cult dynamic handed down through dysfunctional leadership - and have also survived and thrived with a healthy and loving school intact. We applaud Ariel's honesty, bravery, and voice. If you can make it to his show, there will be a talkback at the end for Q&A.P.S. Feel free to reach out to me with questions or if you are an old teammate processing through some of what happened.

This is the third in a three-part series. In Episode 19 we met Pam and heard how she survived a dangerous domestic relationship and learned about her frightening and powerful escape. In Episode 20 we got to know Abigail, who married the same abuser a few years after Pam left him. Today, in Part Three, Pam and Abigail come together to discuss what they’ve learned, legal issues they’ve faced, how they’ve supported one another, how far they have come, what friends and family can do to support a loved one in an abusive relationship and so much more. Join us for this courageous and empowering conversation!
Names and voices have been changed for safety. Please be aware that the content is at times, very hard to listen to.
