The elbow is the strongest point on your body. It’s almost impossible to break.

Some of the ways you can use the elbow in self protection is:

            Elbow an attacker in the ribs or sternum

            Elbow upper cut to the groin

            Elbow strike to the spine if the attacker is trying to lift you up or carry you.

            Elbow an uppercut to the chin

            Elbow a strike to the nose

The last two might be difficult if your attacker is a lot taller than you but the others work just fine.  

The new section Survivor Stories was added to our website today.  We will be sharing a variety of true life survivor stories from domestic violence, criminal attacks, disasters, war vets, etc. The first story was posted this morning and it is a part of my story and gives a bit of understanding to those who wonder why I started my company. I'm looking for a variety of stories so if you have one to share, please contact me. Now head on over and click on the Survivor Stories heading and check it out.  

Once again, my wonderful (read: best brother in the world) webmaster has been busy slaving away…while sick…making changes and improving the KISS website.

One of the changes is that you can now subscribe to our mailing list. I know that you may all ready think that you get too many emails, but I promise not to send you junk but to send emails with either very informative survival information that you can use or of a great sale or the introduction of a new fabulous product.  As you click on the different headings in the website you will see at the top of the page a green oval box that says

”Subscribe to Mailing List”…click that…it’s that easy.

I am even working on a promotion of some kind for everyone who subscribes.  If you have a suggestion of something that you find enticing, please comment on this blog.

Another great change is we’ve added a section called:  Survivor Stories.  Right now if you click on it, it may be blank.  But starting in a day or so, we are going to feature real life stories of survivors.  I volunteered to do the first one…you know to get it started and to let my KISS Cohorts know a little bit about me, my past, my story and why I have chosen this business. Hint:  It’s because I’m a survivor myself.  I am planning on having a variety of stories from all walks of life, from domestic violence, to criminal attacks to war veterans and all kinds of other survival situations….including dogs.  I know that may sound odd but I’m a huge animal lover and have gotten to know several dog rescue groups and the stories of what some of these sweet animals have had to survive is amazing.  So why shouldn’t they be included?  I am hoping that anyone who reads these 

If you have a story you’d like to share, please let me know. If you know me personally, feel free to call or text  me or you can click on the “Contact” heading on our website at: www.kisssurvivalservices.com or message me on our Facebook page.  I’d love to hear from you.

Today I wanted to feature one of our very inexpensive but easy to carry and very resourceful products.  It’s called the Heart Attack.

Remember how the self defense experts used to tell you to place your keys between your fingers and punch?  Well, the heart attack is much better and more effective.   It is 3.5 inches long and made of tough plastic.  It comes with a key ring so that you can add it to your key chain.  To use it you hold it between your fingers and you can scratch an attacker’s face, poke it in their eye or throat or just simply use it to punch your attacker. They only cost $4.95 and shipping is free, so you can order several and give them as gifts.  In fact, this is the free gift that I have given to my blog followers who have posted comments on my blog,  Available on our website at: www.kisssurvivalservices.com

This is what I like to call the CLAW! otherwise known as the Grab. We ladies have always heard how we are supposed to "knee" a guy in the groin to protect ourselves. However, this is not always possible depending on what position we are in when being attacked. A more effective way is to put your hand in a grab position...like a claw. As you go for the groin area, the first contact should be in the form of a HARD slap, then you GRAB and SQUEEZE the testicles as hard as you possibly can. Next...and this is important...PULL as hard as you can. You can use this technique if you are facing him or if he has attacked you from behind, just reach your hand behind you and make contact. Also if he has knocked you to the ground...you reach up and GRAB.
Additional ways you can your claw is to literally claw his face, especially if you have long nails or go for the throat. Do not try to surround the neck with your hand. Instead grab straight for the windpipe, forcing your thumb and fingers in behind the larynx. Then squeeze as hard as you possibly can.

I’ve all ready mentioned how excited I am about some of the new products we’ve just added and one of my favorites is the new design in the pepper sprays. 

Animal print is so fashionable these days and of course, we want to keep up with the fashion world.

When you go to our website and check out the pepper sprays you will see that the Wildfire and Pepper Shot lines now have pepper sprays that come with fashionable holsters in various colors of Leopard and Cheetah prints. 

As always, the spray has a range of 6-8 ft. and each comes with a belt clip, quick release key chain and safety lock.  

So now you can protect yourself while looking Fashionable and Fabulous.  In fact, maybe you should have one in every color/pattern.  After all, ladies, we need to match our outfits don’t we?

Below are pictures of two of them but there are more.  Check out these awesome new animal print pepper sprays at: www.kisssurvivalservices.com

As you can see by the title of this blog, I am very excited over some changes here at KISS Survival Services.

First of all we have some new products and as always they are more powerful and now even more fashionable!

Our fabulous webmaster while adding the products made some changes on the product pages. These pages make it easier to see what products we have available.  For instance, in the Pepper Sprays, I have a lot of people ask specifically for MACE products.  We carry MACE along with Wildfire and Pepper Shot…all great products.  Now when you go to Pepper Sprays you can see all the products available from each of these on its own page.  You will also see some new designs in the Wildfire & Pepper Shot sprays.

This week I will posting blogs on some of the new products but in the meantime, go over to the products on our website at: www.kisssurvivalservices.com and check it out for yourself. 

Please feel free to comment on any of the products or the design of the website.  I have a free gift for the first 10 comments posted to this blog.
