Job security is a thing of the past. Living day to day is becoming more and more expensive. There is a lot of stress on a lot of people who are just trying to get by. On top of all that, muggings, violent crimes and sexual assaults are on the rise.
The police are doing everything they can. Unfortunately, it's usually not enough. Whether it's under-funding, or a lack of police officers, there is only so much the police can do to protect you and your family.
Recently, Winnipeg acquired a police helicopter. Should this make us feel safer? No. Instead of funding actual programs to deter criminal activity, our city is spending money on something which may or may not help catch the criminal; after the crime has already happened, of course. And that's assuming the victim is not beaten so senseless that they can still manage to call the police.
Women, especially, are at a greater risk than ever. The importance of knowing how to defend yourself is becoming more relevant. To depend on someone else, whether it's the police or not, is simply stupid.
Assaults can happen anywhere. They can happen where you least expect it; where your guard is down. Learning the Siu Lum system teaches you awareness and realistic methods of self defense.
If you've ever felt nervous or scared walking to your car in a parkade, you're probably not prepared for the possibilities. Walking down a dark street at night, and you 're paranoid? You don't have the martial arts training you need in case something happens.
Why can't you feel safe? Why shouldn't you? Practicing Siu Lum gives you the freedom from anxiety when you are in a scary situation. It gives you confidence and knowledge.
Osborne House, located here in Winnipeg, says that 80% of the women dropped off are done so from the Winnipeg Police Service domestic abuse unit. So, what happens to the other 20%?
In Canada, it's said that 1 in 5 men have admitted to physically abusing their partners. Women have a 9 to 1 chance of being assaulted as compared to men.
Learning Siu Lum gives women a new-found sense of confidence. It shows women how to realistically and effectively deal with a violent aggressor. Siu Lum teaches women to be more aware of their surrounding situation, how to react to it, and how to manage it successfully.
Knowing Siu Lum is like buying insurance. You may not use it everyday, but you'll be glad you have it when you do have to use it.
