No Problem.</em></p><p> Susie shares why even if you can’t access a class, listening to podcasts like this is still valid—and valuable—self-defense education.</p><br><p><strong>🔗 Links &amp; Resources:</strong></p><ul><li>💻 Visit: <a href="https://prettydeadlyselfdefense.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">prettydeadlyselfdefense.com</a> – Classes, workshops &amp; certifications</li><li>📸 Follow: <a href="https://instagram.com/teamprettydeadly" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@teamprettydeadly</a> on Instagram</li><li>🎥 Watch: <a href="https://tiktok.com/@prettydeadlyboss" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@prettydeadlyboss</a> on TikTok for rants on politics, capitalism, and feminist survival</li><li>🎶 Music: “Icarus Wish” by Dead Centuries (Berlin)</li><li><br></li></ul><p><strong>#selfdefense #womensafety #survivorstories #traumainformed #prettydeadly #truecrimepodcast #intuitiveinstincts #situationalawareness #selfdefensepodcast </strong></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>If you’re a martial artist listening to this, you probably know this scenario: you advertise a self defense class, women in your community are enthusiastic, sign ups, no shows, drop offs, you’re lucky if you’ve still got two who finish out the course. You ask them what they think they smile and nod and say it was great and then you never see them again.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Why is that?</p><br><p>Let’s look at this from another perspective: you just spent 4-6-8 weeks teaching them powerful self defense techniques, but also showing them exactly how effectively you can hurt them. So of course when you ask their opinion they’re going to say it was great–this is called fawning, and most women do it pretty much all the time, because we know that criticism, standing up for ourselves, speaking out often incurs punishment. Yes, they respect you,. But they’re also afraid fo you.&nbsp;</p><br><p>This episode looks at some of the fears and very legitimate concerns women have about self defense courses, and how we can change that.</p><br><p>And if you're interested in reading Susie's thoughts on Andrew Tate, here's the friends link to our Medium article, normally behind a paywall:</p><p>https://susiekahlich.medium.com/andrew-tate-and-the-stats-1722b088cb1c?sk=ceb834c717546c800830c99bfc524adc</p><br><p>#selfdefenseforwomen</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Kate and Susie talk about the difference between sexual harassment in the workplace where there are HR policies and other forums to call attention to abusers and to file complaints where family assaults and harassment leave victims to fend for themselves. Susie and Kate talk about possible solutions including severing ourselves from family members.  How do we handle families that are abusive? What does it mean to carry the burden of a family secret and how do we stay true to ourselves?<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Kate and Susie talk about the difference between sexual harassment in the workplace where there are HR policies and other forums to call attention to abusers and to file complaints where family assaults and harassment leave victims to fend for themselves. Susie and Kate talk about possible solutions including severing ourselves from family members.  How do we handle families that are abusive? What does it mean to carry the burden of a family secret and how do we stay true to ourselves?<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

In some ways, runners are an obvious target because we are alone, we might be more distracted. What can we do to be more aware to minimize the chances of being attacked? When we don’t have the option of running during the day, or running with a partner, Susie offers practical ways to improve awareness: look for an anomaly and don’t get tunnel-visioned.

Susie shuts down the misconception that there are any “need to know” moves. Whether you are being attacked from the front or the side, you have been restrained, or you are being lunged at, Susie describes how to create space and use your body effectively with the limbs and leverage you have available to you.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Pretty Deadly Podcast!Susie’s prototype for the Pretty Deadly course came after realizing that her mother was scared of leaving her home in her increasingly dangerous neighborhood in Chicago. She taught her mother, who was then in her sixties, some basic moves and that is where she began developing self -defense for “ordinary women” using everyday movements and positions that they have already mastered.

			<description><![CDATA[Susie’s work in Berlin has also included self-defense programs for refugees. Many women who are living in shelters are forced into certain living situations that make them vulnerable to unwanted touching, harassment, and even violence. Susie’s program for refugees focuses on creating space, dealing with cultural sensitivities, as well as giving her students practical tools to protect themselves in public living situations. This is an episode about creating as much protection as possible within the confines of situations where a victim may be stuck in the same vicinity as a perpetrator, like public housing, a domestic violence situation, or even an employment scenario. Susie also talks about the broader idea that self-defense is also self-awareness, self-care, and self-love.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

This episode is more about how boundaries get fuzzy and vague for women who use drugs and alcohol, especially in environments like raves, music festivals, or something like Burning Man.

			<description><![CDATA[Since the advance of the #MeToo movement, there has been more attention and awareness around harassment and the reality that women are often the victims of male microaggressions. This includes more innocuous behavior like “manspreading” but other more aggressive ways that women lose space and power when out in the world. In this episode, Susie talks about creating space both physically and psychologically. She also introduces her infamous, “bitches on the dancefloor” move to help you at a concert, on the dancefloor, or anywhere you feel that someone has invaded your space.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Kate shares about her own experience with sexual trauma and the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness that can accompany violence and the grieving process. Susie explains how feelings like you can’t trust yourself or that you let yourself down can weigh you down after trauma, but self-defense can help address those issues. She also talks about how addressing our fears sort of physically and head on can help us use our bodies and look inwards to recover from trauma. Also, the “survivor” versus “victim” mentality and how self-judgment can get in the way.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Susie tells Kate about the benefits of noise to prevent or disrupt an attack and also talks about technology like panic buttons and apps. Is it reasonable to think we can wait for emergency services to protect us? Again, Susie returns to basic self-defense methods, using your own bodyweight and strengths to empower yourself against an attacker. Are there things we can say?

While actually hitting a target or pressure point could strengthen your position, Susie explains why focusing on pressure points and targets is not the best strategy to protect yourself. As these targets can be difficult to strike in an actual attack because so much movement, Susie offers other defense strategies that focus on center of gravity and positioning that can create space and generate more opportunities to escape.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

There are other ways to use items around you, including what’s in your purse, like tampons.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Kate asks Susie how to handle different angles of attack, for example, how to deal with a frontal, side, or an attack from the back. In this episode, Susie explains some theory around defense, including the disruption of a flow. Rather than hitting back or defending an attack, you are disrupting the flow, by moving out of the way. When someone is coming forward, she returns to the frontal kick, and introduces a new “straight-punch” she calls the, “Cup of Coffee.” Susie talks about some unexpected defenses, like the fetal position. Also, what to do when you’re grabbed by the hair.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
