What Every Real Estate Agent Should Know About Self Defense

Greetings to all.  This is your Minister Of Defense, Xavier Smith with information you can use to stay safe.  Most of you that know me understand that I teach and instruct self defense, but did you know I started this company with the idea of providing instruction to real estate agents?  Yes, it is true, because there is a need for real estate agents to know how to protect themselves when doing their job.  The problem is, Realtors don’t have much time to go to a class, not to mention learning things they will not use.  Hence one of the reasons I made my services mobile.  For the ultimate in convenience!

Today I wanted to talk about one of my favorite self-defense weapons for Realtors.  Its called the Kubotan.  It is a light weight device that attaches to your key chain.  Some are made with a point on the end, and the more aggressive models are made with protrusions that come through the fingers to allow you to strike your attacker with maximum impact.

Now let me give you five reasons why this is one of my favorite weapons.

When use on the vulnerable parts of the body (top of the hand, forearm, ears, eyes, nose, or throat) you do not have to exert much energy to achieve maximum results. When you deploy this weapon, you do not have to worry about the wind blowing blowing back in your face like you do when using pepper spray. The sight of this weapon makes people think twice about causing you harm, especially when you present yourself as a confident person, and not a victim. They are very inexpensive.  With everyone feeling the pinch of the economy, this is one of the least expensive ways to keep yourself protected. You do not need any permits to carry this weapon.  Unlike carrying a concealed weapon, you can have this in plain sight and if it’s on your key chain, you will be able to get to quickly since you will likely have your keys in hand.

Of course, there is only so much I can cover in a article, but here is the bottom line.  We want you to be able to stay alive to continue doing your job of real estate.  Before I sign off, let me remind you to never put your commission check in front of your safety.  Both my wife and I are in real estate so I know what I am talking about.
