Real World Life-Saving Training
My inspiration to start Pretty Loaded came from an experience I had when I was with my two oldest daughters at a public event. I was stalked and almost attacked, and I just froze during the incident. Fortunately for me, a family member came up to me only in time. The event changed my life because I was so upset about putting my children and myself in danger and vowed not to let that happen again. I have had years of training with guns, but no training in martial arts or Situational Awareness, and realized that you can see a violent situation about to happen if you are paying attention. I decided to get training in Krav-Maga and started researching Situational Awareness skills and the predator mindset. I was shocked by the research I found on who criminals are and how they target their victims. Body language is also more than 90% of all communication, and it is easy to detect and dissuade a predator if you know what to do. Paying attention to your surroundings, trusting your intuition, and the ability to move away from the threat are your top safety skills. Our training is now being used by corporations, universities, law enforcement, security departments, the U.S. court system, and civilians around the world! Our life-saving FB and YouTube videos are being viewed by 100’s of millions around the world. Our target audience is YOU whether you are a teenager, college student, mother or father, or a business professional. Your fears may be: – Protecting yourself, your belongings, your children, your home, and your family – Afraid of violent co-workers or experiencing an active shooter – Traveling for business in a new city or country – Fearful of random acts of violence on you or your loved ones – Fueling late at a deserted gas station or walking alone in a parking garage Our strategy is simple. We will minimize these risks and fears for you by providing a three faceted approach to protecting yourself. The first is Situational Awareness skills so you can avoid potentially risky situations and stay away from trouble. The second is a self-defense mindset, so you can use body language, mental tactics, verbal defense, and physical defense if necessary. The last skill we will teach will be e pros and cons of lethal and non-lethal hardware tactics and explain when they can or cannot be used. The solution is coming to our class or hiring us to present to your employees or students to increase everyone’s safety knowledge. We also offer online training so you can learn at your own pace. Our safety training presentation is professional, motivational, educational, humorous, and life-changing. We look forward to educating and empowering as many people as possible to create a safer world. “The best fight is the one you are never in.” Strong, aware, confident... EMPOWERED! All the best, Beth Warford
