CONCLUSION
35
 Statistics say a person is 10 times more likely to
survive if you are prepared and react with conviction.
 Proficiency increases your survival.
 The other 10% of self defense is physical skills. This
too begins with an awakening of the physical power
within you.
 Please continue your path of survival by attending a
follow-up physical skills self defense class and
sharpening your mental and physical survival skills.
