"And something I started many years ago that I look forward to resurrecting, with much more flair this time around. The Urban Shield concept of awareness, de-escalation and avoidance. This has been pressure-tested in a harsh environment and has proven itself. Credit goes to Marc Mac Young for his knowledge in compiling much of the underlying research and methodology which I utilised, he has indirectly saved lives and helped others prevent violence and harm to themselves. As the logo indicates, this is about rational safety. Nigel and I taught this across South Africa at one time, the good old days ;) Combat is not always a choice (your granny, for instance), and it is not always a good choice when alternatives exist. (This is no slight on sharks, it's just an analogy. I kind of like sharks and have seen a couple while diving in the Indian Ocean, they're amazing ;) There are sharks in the water. I prefer not to create sharks, I prefer to create and believe we need people that are shark proof instead. This is better than being shark bait." -Lloyd de Jongh Good to see that this is resurfacing. It's been dormant for years. #TRIPWIRE #tripwiresystem #urbanshield #tribe #onlythewilling
