From Barny's desk
Being able to overcome a violent situation is first mental. Awareness is the first part of surviving an attack. Look around as you walk even if you are in a better neighborhood. If you see something or someone that just doesn't look right avoid the situation by crossing the street. Even if it is inconvenient at the moment, you could very wellavoid a violent encounter. If you cannot avoid the problem be mentally prepared to fight back with everything you have, and do not stop until you can get away safely.
Krav Maga Training Center and Hadassah
The Krav Maga Training Center is working with The San Francisco Chapter of Hadassah to produce a Party/Fund Raiser to celebrate (win or lose!) the nomination of the Hadassah Medical Organization for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize.

WE NEED YOUR HELP
We are looking for: - Sponsors, Corporate and individuals at all levels - Donations for the raffle, silent auction and gift bags - Volunteers
We will also have tickets available if you would like to just come to the event.

What is the Hadassah Medical Organization?
Nearly a century ago, two American nurses from Hadassah arrived in the land of Palestine with an ambitious dream of curing disease and bringing better healthcare to people of the region.
Through the years, the dream envisioned by Hadassah1s founders became a reality and evolved into the Hadassah Medical Organization, a world-renowned academic medical center that provides healing and compassionate care for all people, regardless of race, religion or nationality.
What does the Hadassah Medical Organization do?
The Hadassah Medical Organization, includes two hospitals, five schools, out-patients clinics, research facilities and community health centers. They treat over one million patients annually and educate health care professionals without regard to race, religion, or national origin.
World-renowned for its cutting-edge research, the Hadassah Medical Center conducts research at all levels in specialized institutes, interdisciplinary centers, and in almost every department.

Danger Zones and Attack/Defense Lines
In my work outside of martial arts, I am sometimes responsible for using imagery to communicate technical concepts, business processes, or complex systems. Periodically I have applied it to the study of martial arts, in my own notebooks or in trying to pass on information to my students. Here is a diagram I have adapted from one of my training journals, for illustrating concepts of movement and range in a self defense scenario. Please feel free to give me feedback on this. One of the fun challenges of doing this type of work is that it is ideally supposed to bring about consensus and wide understanding from as many constituents as possible. Or at least inspire debate, which is hopefully another means to achieve the same goal.
First of all, does it make sense? Is it missing anything terribly obvious? And then, what could improve it? It could be interesting to add things like which strikes and/or evasive movements can happen within each line of attack or defense, or what attacks can occur in each zone, or anything else you might think of to enhance clarity or add more information to the diagram. My aim with this was to make it easy to visualize, for myself, the directions I ought to be going while engaged in fighting.
I have more diagams and models in notebooks, and I will show more of them as your interest dictates. Others include depictions of how to fight from the wall, stick defenses and a variety of other techniques.
