I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Chapter 53 Self-protection awareness and uncuffing techniques
“There will be no roll call today, but I have a temporary notice that there will be no free time in this class.

Now run five laps around the playground to warm up, and then I'll give you a lesson, something like a safety and defense course."

After everyone gathered, Chen Yaozu announced that the physical education class for this class had officially started.

Then, he started leading people to run laps on the stadium track.

According to international practice, one lap of the stadium track is usually 400 meters, and five laps are only 5 kilometers, which is indeed just a warm-up.

Plus, these are American kids in the tenth grade, so running 2 kilometers is easy for them.

After running, although my face was covered in sweat, my whole body felt refreshed...so refreshing.

Everyone gathered in front of Chen Yaozu, their eyes full of anticipation. After all, this was a security and defense class.

This was a course they had never had before as tenth-grade high school students, so it was full of novelty.

“It looks like you’re all looking forward to it!

Security and defense class, just hearing it sounds... cool! "

"What do you expect me to teach you in this class?"

With his hands behind his back, Chen Yaozu looked at the students with a smile, then suddenly stretched out his hand and punched out as fast as lightning:
"You are expecting me to teach you Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, ah da...

Or the funny yet practical kung fu of Jack Chen, the god of furniture store in the movie.

Or is it the modern tough guy fighting style of Hollywood superstar Jason Statham?

Or is it Rambo's bloody military fighting skills? "

Hearing Chen Yaozu say the names of these big stars, the students became excited.

Don't doubt it, don't doubt whether these fifteen or sixteen-year-old students who have just entered the first year of high school think that those movie stars don't actually have any real kung fu.

This has nothing to do with IQ, but rather a sense of the big picture, environmental influences, and insight.

Of course there is Internet in America. Their Internet is very developed. If you master the method, you can find almost any answer on the Internet.

The prerequisite is that you have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of the answer.

Bruce Lee is very famous in America, Jack Chen is also very famous in America, not to mention Hollywood superstar Jason Statham.

More than 60 to 70 percent of American teenagers, and even adults, believe that these people have real kung fu and are really good at fighting.

America's vision and knowledge are different from those of Oriental people.

In the East, four people were chatting in a boys’ dormitory.

They might start by talking about which girl is pretty, but the amazing thing is that within ten minutes of chatting they will definitely be talking about national affairs, followed by the international situation, and finally the S3 season.

Then there will be a heated debate about what should be done to achieve victory in the S3 season while preserving national strength and reaching the top of the world after the war.

This is the character of Oriental boys, which American people do not have.

Many public high school students don't even know where countries other than America, Canada, and Mexico are located.

Their vision is not that big. This is influenced by the general environment and has nothing to do with intelligence.

Social classes have become solidified, and the future social elites are studying in private schools rather than working in public schools.

At least half of the teenagers who attend public schools will not be able to go to a good university in the future.

The rest may go to community college, because some community colleges are free.

Only a small number of them can go to ordinary universities.

As for the rest, there should be a few rare ones in each class who can pass the exam or have special expertise and go to really good universities with letters of recommendation.

There are more student families who, even if they are admitted to a good university, most likely do not have the money to send their children to school.

Some people also choose not to take out loans to go to school because they are worried that they may not be able to repay the student loans.

For such ordinary high school students, when they reach the second semester of their twelfth grade, they should consider which auto repair shop or construction site to go to.

Or maybe delivering takeout or something like that!

Or you can choose to join the army for a few years, and after you are discharged, use the money you earn to go to school, and you can get a discount on tuition.

Some qualified people can even study for four years of college or graduate school for free after retiring from the military.

Of course, this refers to schools outside of the Chinese areas.

The chances of getting into a good university are still very high if you study in Orange County, Los Angeles, and the East and West Chinese areas of Los Angeles.

Even if these Chinese children attend public schools.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t need letters of recommendation to get into a good university, and you also need to relax the Chinese admission ratio that has been lowered due to certain bills.

If students were admitted fairly based on their test scores, Chen Yaozu dared to say that all the Ivy League schools in America would probably be overwhelmed by Chinese students.

This is a talent, and of course this is also the perception of Chinese parents.

Unfortunately, this perception is of little use in America. America is a society based on personal connections, and there are very few Chinese parents who have personal connections among alumni of prestigious American schools.

Even if some Chinese parents are lucky enough to squeeze in, they will soon stop considering themselves as part of the Chinese community and try desperately to integrate into the white community.

Of course, this is getting off topic.

As soon as Chen Yaozu asked the question, these fifteen or sixteen-year-old high school students could not hold back and some of them spoke directly, such as Jones Davis, a rare black student in this class.

"Sir, can I learn anything?"

After asking this question, everyone looked hopeful and waited for his answer.

"Of course... no!"

Chen Yaozu answered the black student's question with a smile and a breath, which gave them great disappointment.

"There's actually a reason why I'm taking this security defense class today."

“Just now, I overheard a few girls chatting. I’m sorry, but I didn’t mean to overhear!
However, I heard from the conversations of these girls that they were concerned about their safety, and they expressed their desire to learn women’s self-defense from me.”

Having said that, Chen Yaozu looked at the students in front of him very seriously and solemnly, especially the group of girls.

“Actually I don’t want to discourage you, girl.

The women's self-defense skills you want to learn, or even those women's self-defense skills you see on the Internet, are basically a scam.

Of course, I am not saying that all so-called women's self-defense techniques are fake.

Instead, I want to tell you that the so-called women's self-defense technique should not refer specifically to women, but should be called a kind of self-defense technique.

But you have to know.

Any kind of self-defense technique in the world requires long-term training, whether it is strength training, reaction training, resistance training, or even combat training.

Even after extremely hard and rigorous training, most people can only compete and perform with people of the same level in the ring.

It won’t be of much help for daily safety, self-defense, etc.”

His words left the students confused as to what he meant by they could only compete and perform on the stage.

The purpose of practicing self-defense is to be able to protect yourself at critical moments.

But you told me that even after practicing self-defense, I may not be able to protect myself at the critical moment.

Then wouldn’t all my self-defense skills be in vain?

Seeing the confusion in the students' eyes, Chen Yaozu continued:
“You want to learn women’s self-defense because you have heard bad things and want to protect yourself when safety issues arise.

But I want to tell you a reality:
In the East, there is a beautiful and powerful woman, who is the UFC world fighting champion. Her name is Zhang Meili.

She once said that even as a world champion like her, she might not have the confidence to defeat a man of the same level who had received normal training.

Not to mention the older men who are stronger than her. Those strong older men who haven't even received any training are more capable than her who has received rigorous training for many years.

The innate physical conditions of both men and women, as we say in the East, are determined at birth.

Therefore, the idea of ​​girls wanting to learn self-defense skills to protect themselves is actually not feasible!

What I suggest is that when you turn 21, you should get a license and buy a gun!
American Iai is more effective than any self-defense techniques you practice!"

When he said this, the students were stunned!
The students certainly knew it was better to have a gun.

However, as Chen Yaozu said, if you want to legally own a gun in California, you must be 21 years old and must go through a number of rigorous reviews and exams before you can get a legal gun license.

What does this have to do with them, fifteen or sixteen-year-old high school students?
I’m almost graduating from college at the age of 21!

Chen Yaozu noticed the students' disappointment and clapped his hands vigorously: "Hey! Ladies and gentlemen, look here.

Of course I know that you are all under 21 and cannot legally purchase guns for self-defense.

That’s why we have this course similar to safety and defense, so that you can understand better ways to protect yourself.”

Things are back on track and the topic has returned to real security defense.

Chen Yaozu looked at the class in front of him. Most of the students were Chinese, a small number were white, and very few were black.

“In fact, disasters or dangers depend on the environment and circle.

For example, where you live, the people you associate with, and your attitude all determine whether you are far away from disasters and dangers, or gradually approaching them. "

The students in front of him were full of confusion. Jones Davis, the black student who had just asked if he could study anything, directly raised his doubts: "Sir?"

Chen Yaozu knew what he meant by asking, and smiled and shook his head: "I know what your question is?
America, is there ever a day without gunshots?
There has never been a year when tens of thousands of people in America weren't killed or injured by gunfire!

This is the environment issue I just mentioned!

In America, shootings are commonplace. Too common!

But in the East, just being beaten was already a big deal because it was so rare!

News that shocks the whole country is news because it is rare. If it were common, it would not be news!
Therefore, we can see the security environment of the entire East!"

He paused, allowing the students in front of him to digest the meaning of his words.

"And what I'm about to talk about is the lesson on protecting yourself. The first thing to talk about is awareness. You have to have the awareness to protect yourself!"

Chen Yaozu knew he had to explain it in more detail, so he began to tell the story:
"In the East, a very famous security and defense expert once said:

Self-protection awareness is very important for women's self-defense.

Having a good sense of self-protection can make women more alert in daily life, predict possible dangers in advance, and take appropriate measures to avoid dangerous situations. This is indeed more basic and important than simply learning self-defense skills.

Of course, while having a sense of self-protection, learning some simple and easy-to-learn self-defense skills as an aid can also increase some means and abilities to deal with danger when it really comes.

So what is self-preservation awareness? "

He looked at the girls in front of him very seriously. Their appearance and demeanor were a little different from those of Chinese female students in China. He said:

“As I said earlier, the environment is a big factor.

In nature, wild animals have their own territories.

The same is true in the human world as well.

Good people have their own territory, gangsters have their own area of ​​activity, and those who are neither good people nor gangsters also have their own sewers.

Just like in nature, generally alert animals that are good at protecting themselves will not jump into the activity range of wild beasts that are marked by scent, because that would result in their death.

The same is true in the human world. If the community you live in is within the range of gang activities, or a neighborhood where they often fight, your chances of encountering danger will greatly increase.

Of course, since you are all students, you don't have much say in where you live, and it will most likely depend on your parents' wallets.

Therefore, if you cannot change your residence, the only thing you can change is your travel route and travel time.

Let’s go back to the metaphor of the ferocious beast.

In nature, there is a certain pattern in the time when wild beasts appear, so some animals that are forced to live within the range of wild beasts' activities will choose a time when they are less likely to encounter danger, or a time when wild beasts are resting, to go out of the cave to look for food or carry out other activities.

Of course, the same goes for people!
During the day, there is less chance of crime on the streets, and that is a safe time on a large scale.

When the flow of people decreases, you should return to your residence and stay away from dangerous areas.

This is the environment!
The next thing to talk about is behavior!"

Chen Yaozu's eyes were as bright as lightning, scanning the occasional tattoos and other items on the students in front of him.

Fortunately, these things mostly appear on black and white people. There are not many Chinese students who have tattoos during the tenth grade of high school, and those who do have them are only on a small scale.

“Humans are advanced animals in nature, or advanced intelligent creatures, at the top of the food chain.

In addition to intelligence, there is another most important reason that allows people to be at the top of the food chain:
The first humans were able to survive and continue in the primitive world surrounded by ferocious beasts because their nature made them unite together and fight against all dangers and accidents.

There is an old Eastern saying that birds of a feather flock together.

Your behavior will attract people who behave like you.

Your character will attract people with the same character as you.

You like messy friends, and messy friends also like to find you.

If you like to live with clean people, you will become clean too.

This is the circle!
Circles are something you can only feel after you enter society.

For example, America's upper class has its own upper class circles.

The lower class people have their own circle of life.

Everyone has their own circle. Usually, there is no big situation and they rarely come into contact with each other.

You guys have tattoos on your bodies, which makes people look a little intimidated, but you also think it's cool.

At the same time, gangsters fighting on the streets will think that you are from the same group or a rival gang, and then they will notice you!
They will know what neighborhood you live in, who is in your family, what gangs you usually hang out with, and what benefits they can extract from your family.

For example, the people you usually come into contact with.

You like to interact with gangsters, and gangsters like to get around you.

You usually like to hang out with bad boys, they look so cool!
But bad boys like to get in touch with gangsters the most, so there is a high possibility that such girls will end up becoming single mothers.

Therefore, as parents of students, they will keep their good girls away from all gangsters and bad boys to ensure that their living circles are simple and clean.

In our Eastern world, this is called letting your daughter love herself and respect herself."

At this time, a white girl suddenly questioned loudly: "Sir, I think you are being sexist!

Why don't you tell those boys not to hurt girls, but to ask girls to love themselves instead."

Chen Yaozu was shocked when he heard this, he forgot that this was America!

Sexism, what a big hat!

No, I have to argue well. If I don't do it well, I might lose this job:
“Student, let me ask you, America has the most prisons in the world and also holds the largest proportion of prisoners in the world.

Do these people know that they will go to jail for committing crimes?

I think everyone knows it!
Do those bad boys know that hurting a girl may even ruin her life?

I guess they know that too!
But what does it have to do with them if the girl is ruined?
They are bad guys!

Who cares about girls?

You are the girl's guardian, right?

You're the one who cares about girls, right?

But who are the people who hurt those girls?
Bad boy right?

Does the guardian or parent know which bad boy is trying to target his beloved daughter?
Will you know in advance which bad boy is going to hurt your baby?
No, they don’t!
Therefore, the best choice is to warn your beloved sweethearts every day to keep them away from danger!
so……"

He glanced at the students in front of him and said: "Whether you are boys or girls, it is important to raise your awareness of self-protection.

Avoid going to violent neighborhoods, don't hang out during dangerous times, try not to get gangster-like tattoos, try not to hang out with bad boys, and avoid some not-so-good neighborhoods when traveling.

In this way, 60 to 70 percent of the danger can be eliminated! "

A Chinese female student, who was one of the students who sat together and chatted at the beginning, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sir, what should I do if I am forced to get on the bus like the senior girl in grade 12?"

"Pull it in the car?"

Chen Yaozu confirmed it again.

The girl nodded to confirm the question she was going to ask: "Yes, if someone forcibly pulls you, you have to force yourself to go to a place you don't want to go and do things you don't want to do.

As a woman who is naturally weak, how can I break free from the other party? This is the question I want to ask! "

Chen Yaozu originally planned to teach them how to remove handcuffs, and this was the perfect opportunity to push the issue forward: "This is one of the most important parts of my class today. I'm going to teach you one of the most magical and simplest techniques of oriental martial arts.

As long as you learn this technique, no one in this world will be able to catch you with their hands!

This technique is called shackle-breaking, which means breaking free from the shackles that confine you. This technique is derived from the Eastern martial art Tai Chi.

Come, all of you, gather around..."

The technique of removing handcuffs is actually very simple.

No matter which limbs of your body other than your fingers are grabbed by the opponent, it is actually very easy to break free as long as they are not using judo locks and are just grabbing and dragging with their hands.

After Chen Yaozu asked all the students to gather around, he called out the youngest girl, and then called out Jones Davis, the strongest black student who had asked the question just now.

"Jones, grab Andy's wrist with one hand, any way you want!"

Jones reached out and wrapped his bear-like palm around the wrist of the youngest girl, Andy.

"Andy, use your captured wrist to press Jones' thumb forward and downward, hard!"

The little girl followed Chen Yaozu's instructions, put her wrist on the other person's thumb that was grabbing her palm and pushed it down, then pushed forward and actually broke free from the tall and strong black classmate's palm, very easily.

After the little girl broke free, her eyes opened wide and sparkled. She excitedly raised her red wrist and said, "I actually did it!"

Jones looked incredulous. He couldn't believe that a girl so much younger than him could actually break free from his grasp.

His dark face made it hard to tell whether the blood had rushed to his skin, but he said in a buzzing voice, "Sir, I want to try again!"

Chen Yaozu smiled and nodded and said yes.

This time Jones switched hands and changed his stance.

But the little girl still followed Chen Yaozu's instructions and pressed the other person's thumb with her wrist, pushing it forward and breaking free.

Chen Yaozu also asked Jones to grab Andy's throat and let the little girl Andy lower her head and press down in the direction of his thumb, and she broke free by pressing and twisting.

He was able to break free even when his neck was grabbed, which stunned the students around him.

[This handcuff removal technique is real. Female readers can find a friend to practice with.]

Seeing their expressions, Chen Yaozu arranged for them to practice against each other, either a man and a woman, or a man and a man, or a woman and a woman.

The students immediately became enthusiastic and enjoyed practicing very much.

If you are caught by hands, whether it is one hand or two hands, it is easy to break free if you master the technique.

Time passed as the students happily practiced with each other, and soon it was time to end the get out of class.

"Hey guys, is this a practical trick?"

The students answered in unison and happily: "Very practical!"

Chen Yaozu smiled and laid the groundwork for the next lesson:

“Do you want to know how this works?
You know, in ancient times, this was one of the most important skills of a martial arts school in the East!"

The students were of course looking forward to the answer, but unexpectedly, Chen Yaozu said, "This class is over. I will explain the principle to you in the next class!"

Not far away, old lady Wude was accompanying a bald middle-aged man, watching here from afar.

The bald middle-aged man seemed to have been observing here for quite a long time. Now he finally said with satisfaction: "Yes, he is the person I am looking for!"
