We hear about it all the time on the news ” another attack on a defenseless woman who was just going about her own business. Maybe she was walking to the car to get ready to go to work, or coming home from the grocery store and ready to make dinner for the family, or even maybe just walking the dog. Violent crime is estimated to affect more than 1 million people a year and women are especially vulnerable to attack when they are out alone. This does not have to be the case, however, as there are perfectly adequate self defense products available, including items specifically made for women such as lipstick pepper spray.

The primary ingredient in pepper spray is known as Oleoresin Capsicum, a derivative of hot chili peppers. To make the spray, peppers are ground into a fine substance and subsequently mixed with ethanol. After being allowed to dry into a resin, the mixture is processed and packaged into a liquid pepper spray. As the original ingredient, the chili pepper, is extremely hot, we can only imagine the effect when this is multiplied and packaged under pressure!

Lipstick pepper spray is specifically designed for women, containing a highly potent pepper formula packaged within a conventional lipstick product. Apart from being very convenient, this is also a subtle way for a woman to carry self-defense protection. The lipsticks are made in five different colors and will propel a one second burst, five times to a distance of 6 feet. As these are so handy and effective, every woman should have one or more of these on her person all the time.

Whilst lipstick pepper spray should be considered by women all around the world, you should note that there are laws in certain jurisdictions which restrict or regulate its use. In the United States, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Hawaii, Washington DC, New York and Wisconsin all have laws which cover this item and you should make sure that you check first before use.

There are a number of ways that a lipstick pepper spray product could protect you during an attack. Somebody who was advancing towards you will be stopped in their tracks, regardless of their size or ability, when they feel an intense burning sensation in their eyes and mouth. The pepper spray product does not have to be used when the attacker is in close proximity, as is the case with a stun gun for example, as this particular product has a range of about 6 feet. As the nasty effects last for 30 to 45 minutes your pepper spray protector gives you plenty of time to sound the alarm or to run in the other direction before your attacker can recover.

Whilst you should carry lipstick pepper spray everywhere, do not leave it in an extremely hot or cold environment as this may cause the item to burst or leak. Be sure also to check the expiry dates on your pepper sprays and replace them in good time. Whilst traveling, you must remember to put your sprays in your checked baggage, as the TSA will not allow you to carry on board.

The lipstick pepper spray is specifically designed for women, is very handy and is one of the most cost effective self defense products available. Make sure that you have several of them for all occasions. For example, get automatic self-defense protection wherever you are by placing one of the products in each of your different handbags.

For many women, the thought of using a stun gun is a little off putting. In this case, a lipstick pepper spray should fit the bill. The item is easy to carry as it is the same size as a regular lipstick and can be used from a distance, rather than in close proximity to your attacker.

One of the best books ever written about zen is Zen and the Art of Archery, by Eugene Herrigel. Mr, Herrigel, in search of zen enlightenment goes to Japan, and he describes his experiences in this book. Once in Japan, though he is seeking zen, he is guided into archery.

Zen is considered too difficult for a westerner to understand. It would be to difficult for him, not being of the Japanese descent, to understand zen concepts. Through a study of archery, however, he might be able to slide into understanding some of the zen concepts.

Mr. Herrigel practices archery diligently. He stands with a tall bow, calms himself, and experiences nothing but frustration. Heck, he can’t even hit the target, let alone find his own soul.

Ultimately, the teacher takes pity on him, and invites him over to his house to help him out. The teacher is pleasant, humorous, offers all sorts of insights, but Mr. Herrigel, in a funk, can’t respond this most personal instruction. Finally, the teacher invites Mr. Herrigel out to his personal archery range in his back yard.

They stand on a range that is about a hundred feet, and the teacher instructs Mr. Herrigel to light a candle between the firing line and the target. The candle lit, Mr. Herrigel is instructed to turn off the lights. In the deep darkness, with only a single candle glowing fifty feet away, the teacher fires an arrow and puts out the candle.

Mr. Herrigel is totally and utterly astonished. Such a shot, fifty feet, and the candle was out! Absolutely amazing!

The teacher merely asks that the lights be turned on and that Mr. Herrigel retrieve the arrow. Mr. Herrigel turns on the lights and hastens to the end of the range and searches for the arrow. And he finds the arrow…driven directly into the center of the target!

To put out a candle and hit a target, using only the light of the candle. To master a martial art and plumb the depths of soul. To find the brilliance of yourself on a darkened night, this is zen, and this is what is at the heart of the Martial Arts.

With the effects being felt for up to 45 minutes, your pepper spray will have given you an adequate amount of time to run for help before your attacker can recover.

As lipstick pepper spray is vulnerable to extreme heat or cold, make sure that you do not leave it in such an environment, as the item may leak or burst .

Zork, Pow and Shazaam! If you could download the martial arts into your brain like Neo, you would be better than Bruce! I hope you you don’t think that it only happens in the movies!

Of course, the mainframe hasn’t gone looking for Zion, yet, and we are not currently trapped in the matrix, so we’re going to have use other methods to accomplish the download. Let’s see, how about accupuncture to the phrenology, or maybe if you licked that USB port. Or, hmm, what’s this thing called Matrixing!

I know you’ve heard about Matrixing, and that it does allow people to download whole martial arts into their cranium, but what is the secret behind it? I mean, as I said, we don’t have the mainframe on line, so what’s the secret? How does this stuff work so fast?

The source of Matrixing is this thing called logic. You have to render the martial arts into some sort of logical pattern. Of course, since the martial arts are nothing more than a hyped up Chinese fire drill, this is sometimes difficult.

When taking your art apart for matrixing you should understand that the martial arts are taught by the slowest and most inefficient method of instruction on the planet, which is monkey see monkey do, which is. The techniques of the martial arts, are not assembled in a logical and conceptual order, and it can take decades to memorize enough strings of thsi random data so that the whole thing can make sense. And when the home intruder is knicking down your front door we all know that decades of instruction is a little slow.

So take your basics and make lists of them, put them all in a simplest to most difficult order, then the data will stream. Of course, the fact that the data is all smushed together, doesn’t help. We’re going to have to work this until we have a better solution.

What we need is a method for separating not just the data of a single art, but of all the arts, then we can start to mix and match all the arts, and still retain sense of what it is all about. Really, although it hasn’t been done before,it’s just a big software problem, right?

So, now you know what needs to be done if you wish to download data directly into your brain. To stream data, and not lose any due to confusion, that is the secret of learning the martial arts at vast speeds. And now you know the theory behind the Matrixing software that can download the martial arts, and a lot of other stuff besides, directly into your brain.

The sad fact is, the martial arts are taught in the most inefficient manner possible. Done properly, the martial arts are a blessing and the most incredibly efficient method of combat on the planet, the method for their teaching is woefully inadequate. Monkey see monkey do is the name of this incredibly slow method.

Your noggin, in truth, houses a highly efficient computer. When you feed random strings of data into the computer,k however, the result is not efficiency. Instead, you get slowed reaction time, inefficiency, and actual incorrect data. Gee, I think I’ll block that foot with my nose.

People having vested interest is one example of corruption, simply, somebody is going to gain something, and therefore messes up the workability of the martial arts. A top ring fighter, during the Ultimate Fighter reality show, told one of the contestants to hit somebody in the foot. He gave this advice because he wasn’t going to tell squat to a fighter that he might have to face some day.

Corruption rears its ugly head in the matter of tournaments, the desire to win a trophy encourages one to follow rule that will inhibit ones ability to survive on the street. A fellow doesn’t bother learning to protect himself properly because the other fighter, according to the rules, isn’t supposed to be able to kick him there. When he is on the street however, that is the first place a lot of thugs will attack.

One of my favorite forms of corruption is national, for instance, the government tells you how to fight. You might think it doesn’t happen, but Korea started this thing called Tae Kown Do, and threw away the rather phenomenal art of Karate, and China killed off or imprisoned all its kung fu masters, then hired a bunch of physical education coaches to create wu shu. In this country we have the AAU, Olympic committees, and so on, and martial art do you think Obama is going to proscribe for you?

Medicine is a great corrupter, because medicine skews all the data into much highly unworkable data. Touch this pressure point here and you will do great damage, but the student needs the ability to actually punch and survive in combat before he can go looking for fine, little embroidery points. And every school preaches their own strikes as being able to stop the heart, damage the kidney, and so on, but they woefully neglect training a student to be able to absorb the actual impact of striking a human body.

Probably the worst of the lot of corrupters in commercialism. How many mommies take their little Johnnies down to a karate school to learn to protect himself, and then shriek if their little Johnnie gets a cut lip or black eye? And what if the little Johnnie was actually taught something that worked, and then knocked the whole crap out of the school bully, what would the lawyers have to say about that?

It is an inescapable fact that the martial arts have been corrupted. Fortunately, there is a quick and easy solution to this mess, and it is the only solution for the martial arts on planet earth. Unfortunately, you’ll just be a monkey, prone to the corruptions of art, and never really breaking into the true blessings of the True Art, if you don’t find this solution.
