| About Kekionga Press Community Services Dept. (From our Allen County, Indiana, brochure): "We kicked around ideas about what would be an important thing to do in our community and cannot find a more pressing need than to train adults and children in assault prevention. We called NOW, the National Crime Prevention Council, and the FBI with little result. The FBI training academy in Quantico, Virginia, for example, told us that they do not have assault prevention training videos for the public and to check with local law enforcement. Our local police department did not have any assault prevention videos for the public... So we searched police and military suppliers and found the best assault prevention videos in the world. They can be yours to train your employees, students and family members. If studied intensely a few times, they can reduce a person's chance of becoming a violent crime victim, in our opinion, by 80% or more. To avoid violating copyright law, they cannot be altered, sold, or displayed in a public manner. They can only be used for non-commercial, private, and educational purposes. We share them with you PRIVATELY." If you are an ALLEN COUNTY, INDIANA, resident 18 years of age and above and work, volunteer, or attend school in Allen County and wish a free copy of our Assault Prevention Video Library, simply send us an Email requesting so at: Kekiongavillage@aol.com This community service is absolutely free and you need not buy our books to have a free copy of the videos. In fact, we will give you a free book if you correctly answer this trivia question in your request mail: The first major conflict of the American Civil War began in this man's front yard. After a Union shell exploded in his summer kitchen during the Battle of Bull Run, he moved miles away to escape the conflict. 3 1/2 years later, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Grant in his living room. The Civil War started and ended at his place. What was this man's name?

The Assault Prevention Video Library's main thrust is how to recognize criminal tricks and traps and how to get out of bad situations. Five universally recognized experts will guide you through the training...What nearly all self-defense courses lack, in our opinion, the "missing link," is training in PREVENTIVE PERCEPTION. When a criminal "interviews" a potential victim, they need to know how not to "pass" it. Controlling fear impulses and displaying solid attitude is an acquired lifesaving skill which you CAN learn. Because society isn't adequately addressing this vital area of life in an effective and meaningful manner (such as schools and police departments), we do it ourselves.

Safety N.E.T. Kids--No Easy Targets by Glenn & Amanda Olson. This Code Amber Organization endorsed video teaches kids from 4-11 how not to go anywhere with strangers; when it is okay to say no to an adult; to report unwanted touches (defined as the private places where a swimsuit covers); how not to fall for abductor's trick lines (such as pleas for help to find a pet or lures such as treats); exercises which aid in escaping abductors and/or fires; attention-getting tactics at crucial moments; informing parents when changing locations outside; keeping a safe distance from people in vehicles; the safe way to answer phone calls when home alone; checking with parents before answering the door; both wrong and right way enactments in handling situations; use of passwords between parents and children concerning school or event pick-ups...Unlike many other attempts at child safety training videos which come-off like documentaries geared to adults (and which frighten small children), Safety N.E.T. Kids relates to small children via peer pressure and the influence of kids teaching kids. >U.S. & Canadian law enforcement agencies may be able to get a free copy of this video from Code Amber so that they can start a Community Service program to protect the children in their area<   http://codeamber.org/video.html "The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy."

II Defense Inside of a Car. Russian Special Operations Unit instructor Vladimir Vasiliev guides you through the training. Defense Inside of a Car will show you how to escape such assaults as a gun to your head; knife to your throat; rope around your neck; bag over your face... Internet Search: Russian Martial Art (Systema Headquarters, Toronto, Canada). Defense Inside a Car provides a multitude of techniques for turning the tables on an aggressor at a time when you are most vulnerable, inside a car. This is probably one of the most practical self-defense videos produced. *************************************** The Defense Inside a Car video has been discontinued as we are anticipating releasing a new edition in summer 2007.
