In light of the Chelsea King and Amber Dubois tragedies, Sealed Mindset reached out into the community to form important relationships with two training companies who strive to bring the best knowledge to young men and women in San Diego.

Poway Samurai Martial Arts, owned by Tony Whetstine (“The Bushido Guy”), is one of the only self-defense studios we have worked with that provides realistic personal safety tools to empower a woman’s confidence in the field of self-defense.

When Tony Whetstine and his family met our team, it seemed a natural fit because we both spoke the same language: we both believe that there is a distinct difference between the self defense skill of learning a martial art and practicing it regularly and the integration of awareness tools into your life. The women’s self defense course that PSMA and Sealed Mindset championed focused on personal safety tools so that each woman could leave with a better understanding of the personal safety options that are available.

While some martial artists are quick to show you a trick to fight back, Tony’s background as a US Marine Corps veteran of the Persian Gulf War allows him to see martial arts in a more complete perspective and thus offer a more complete solution. It is this complete perspective that Sealed Mindset values because it allows him to make a true difference in the lives of young men and women every day in his Dojo.

Velocity Sports Performance, located in San Diego, is the ultimate training facility that offers each athlete a chance to be instructed by world-class performance coaches. While these coaches are elite and professional athletes, they are also caring parents, and as parents, they heard the call to provide personal safety training to the families who attend their classes.

Just like every parent, you want the best for your child and your family. Sealed Mindset’s team has formed these winning relationships with Velocity and Poway Samurai to give your family access to the best insurance available in the athletic, martial arts, and personal safety realms. Take advantage of all that these trusted programs offer by signing up for a free trial at Velocity, or by visiting Tony’s Dojo!

We are very proud to be working with both of you!

When I heard the news today about Chelsea King, my heart broke. I was in the middle of speaking to my mother about the fact that I had reached out to the King family on Facebook after being asked to do so by a classmate of Chelsea’s at Poway. This classmate was also a student of our Sealed Mindset “15 Seconds to Safety” awareness program, and she believed that our knowledge could make a difference to families and volunteers who were looking for Chelsea.

I reached out to Chelsea’s family to offer the only true value I have, which is the safety and awareness expertise compiled and developed by my husband and our team.  As I told my mother how much it meant to me that there were people in the world who recognized the value of the information to help keep our children safer, she mentioned that the police believed they had found Chelsea.

At many times in my life, and in all our lives, each one of us could have been Chelsea. I played an instrument, I jogged alone, and I excelled in school. I could have been Chelsea. For any student who did well in school and played an instrument or a sport, you could have been Chelsea. For any woman who goes jogging, you could have been Chelsea. All of us can identify with some aspect of her life because we have all been 17 with the world at our fingertips.

I am not preying on fears with this blog post. Nor am I writing these words to scare anyone. I am writing these words for two reasons: (1) to inspire action, (2) to tell you that there is a solution to our shared nagging safety fears that we haven’t been able to address yet. My husband and I have created an educational solution that is based on awareness, and we know this solution can make American families safer.

Awareness is the most important aspect of self-defense. It is the most talked about, but the least taught. We are working every day to change this: we are partnering with self-defense programs to make certain each woman who takes a self-defense workshop can receive a more complete safety solution. We are working with corporations who have proactively decided they want to offer the education to their employees. We are doing everything we can, but we need your help to spread the word and to let people know there is a knowledge-based solution out there, accessible to any family.

As Chelsea’s classmate at Poway states, “In light of what has recently happened to Chelsea, the efficacy and importance of my Sealed Mindset training has become especially obvious to me. Volunteering with the Chelsea King search efforts has reminded me of all the ways in which Sealed Mindset has changed my life and, more importantly, my behavior. Small habits, like checking around cars before I approach parking lots, have become routine. Furthermore, Sealed Mindset helped me to develop a sense of self-value: I am important. I deserve to protect myself. The wealth of practical knowledge that Sealed Mindset has provided me is invaluable, and something every parent and child should be made well aware of.”

Please reach out to us as we are here to help any community. For more information, please email anne@sealedmindset.com. To see how we teach, please take our free lesson: http://www.sealedmindset.com/

For the price of a pair of shoes, you can learn the knowledge you need to keep yourself safe. Fear is based on a lack of knowledge, and we are here to provide knowledge that your mind and heart know you seek. Please take advantage of our experiences and lessons from some of the world’s most difficult locations to bring this knowledge to your family.
