    About this ebook

    Continuing on from Book 1. this volume shows the individual how to face and deal with aggression, without violence, if it turns physical.
    We can call it what we like, but when bullying becomes physical, it is assault. No doubt about it. Not all assaults are punches and kicks. There are many other forms. Grabbing, pushing, pulling hair, just to name a few.
    Bullying is about power and control. For the most part, bullies attempt to control those weaker than themselves and almost never pick on someone stronger or more confident.
    The PassivePOWER system employed in this book gives the individual the confidence to stand against such tyranny, secure in the knowledge they can defend themselves without resorting to violence. With more than 150 photos and step-by-step instructions, this do-it-yourself book deals in detail with most attempted assaults and shows how to evade, escape, or control them, returning control to the intended victim, without the use of violence.

    Author

    William Ford

    I have trained in a number of martial arts disciplines for the past 51 years attaining the rank of 12Th DAN in Chen Do. Whilst this has been most beneficial to me in my careers (which included law enforcement and security), I also saw that violence was never the answer. After many years of instructing others in these styles I saw the need for a passive approach to social aggression [bullying] It has long been one of my life's aim to devise a non-violent solution, which allows the intended victim to protect themselves, without resorting to the traditional violent responses in most forms of 'self defense'. This book and the next two in the series are the natural progression in helping our young people cope with an evermore complicated social environment without violent responses.

      Chapter 1 - Introduction

      Welcome to book 2 of the anti-bullying and anti-violence handbook. Passive solutions to physical violence.

      This book is designed as a step-by-step guide, for use by those individuals who find themselves being bullied, or for those in authority, charged with their well-being.

      For bullying to be successful, there must be a physical outcome. (You will be ‘bashed up’ – secrets may be threatened to be exposed - someone you love may be threatened ...etc...).

      Mostly bullying is about confidence, or rather, lack of it, brought about by fear.

      Most serious schoolyard bullying turns to violence.

      This includes cyber bullying

      Those with little or no confidence are often the subject of bullying.

      So begins a vicious circle:

      I am being bullied.

      I need to be confident (or show confidence).

      I am afraid.

      Therefore I show in my body language, responses and actions that I lack confidence.

      So I am bullied (possibly even more) and the cycle continues to spiral.

      Book 1 deals with Awareness and Verbal Conflict Management

      This book contains the Passive Power System – simple Non Violent physical responses which may be used, if verbal conflict suddenly escalates and becomes physical. Passive Power Non Violent physical responses develop instant confidence in the individual and break the fear cycle.

      The photos in this book use adults, but almost anyone can perform the moves. Certainly anyone of high school age or above will find them easy to do.

      Chapter 2 - The Science of Bullying

      Bullying is about power and control.

      Mainly it involves someone’s perception of another person.

      Bullies are threatened by differences in others, which they are unable to accept.

      For bullying to be successful, there must be a physical outcome of a threat, or perceived threat by the victim. It can be at school, in the workplace, or anywhere.

      For example, if I have a fear I will be bashed, abused, or assaulted, I can be bullied into doing something (or not doing something).

      However, if I have enough knowledge and skills to defend against such an attack, the bullying has no effect.

      If I am threatened I will lose my job if I
