In our latest episode of Defenders LIVE, host Lora Thorson dives deep with martial arts expert Jasmine Vanderpool! 🥋💪 Tune in to learn how Jasmine uses her 20+ years of experience to train others in self-defense and mindset training. 💥
Here's what you’ll learn:
🧠 Mindset Over Technique: Why mental resilience is the foundation of effective self-defense.
👣 Practical Tips: Simple self-defense moves like "getting off the X" and maintaining strong footing.
🦸♀️ Empowering Trauma: How to turn past challenges into strength and confidence.
🔎 Red Flag Awareness: Key signs to watch for in potentially dangerous situations.
🔄 Adaptability is Key: Embrace the "controlled chaos" of real-life self-defense situations.
Notable Quotes:
“In real-life situations, technique often goes out the window. Self-defense is about controlled chaos and being adaptable.”
“Comfort is the death of change. If you’re comfortable, you’re not growing. Martial arts teaches you to embrace the uncomfortable.”
“Trauma doesn’t disappear, but it can be transformed. I’m grateful for mine because it made me who I am today.”
“Mindset needs to be: I have the tools, but I may not have the fortified mindset to protect myself. If you’re not ready to pivot, you’re not ready for real-world self-defense.”
“Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t ignore it. Your instincts are there for a reason, and taking action based on them can save you.”
