Summer is all about sunshine, warm temperatures and having fun in the great outdoors. Of course, that summer weather we all love so much can also produce some pretty crazy weather, like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires and even dust storms. That’s why it’s always a good idea to be prepared for an emergency before it happens.

This week, we’re highlighting James Hiromasa, CEO of Colorado Krav Maga, Inc., TASER Civilian Instructor, and author of Amazon best seller, How to Be A Super Hero. Read on to get his perspective on personal safety and why he recommends the TASER Pulse+ device to his clients.

June is National Safety Month, and it’s gotten us thinking a lot about the saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." In our lives, we tend to focus on the big threats and how we can prevent or at least minimize them from affecting us. But how often do we think about the little things we could be doing to every day to keep ourselves safe?

June is National Safety Month, and this month we’re bringing the safety conversation to you by talking to our civilian TASER trainers and asking them to share their tips for personal safety.

This week, we spoke to Denny Chapman, owner and operator of Florida TASER Training. Denny is an Authorized TASER Civilian Product Dealer and Certified Civilian TASER Trainer, specializing in the Pulse+ and StrikeLight products. Denny is a former Law Enforcement Officer, Media Host and Professional Mounted Shooting competitor. He has served as host of GunTV and was a cast member of History Channel’s Top Shot. Denny is also an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor/Chief Range Safety Officer with more than 30 years of firearms competition, self-defense and teaching experience. His areas of specialty include self-defense, firearms and TASER device instruction, and mounted shooting.

We sat down with Joelle Rozek, recent MBA grad from Pepperdine University in Los Angeles and TASER Self-Defense intern (now full-time Business Analyst!), and her mom Jeanne to learn more about their journeys with self-defense and how TASER products fit into their lifestyle.

Movies and TV shows have taught us that tucking your device straight into a pocket or waistband is the cool way to carry. It may look cool, but safety experts will tell you that, like many things in Hollywood, you should ignore the cool way to do something and use the safe way instead.

COVID-19 has upended all of our lives in some way or another. Shelter-in-place orders have created a lot of uncertainty, and being homebound is throwing a lot of old routines out the window.

But while today’s “new normal” looks a lot different than it did a few months ago, one thing hasn’t changed: the need to keep you and your family safe and healthy. And even though you’re stuck at home, there are plenty of things you can do to put a new spin on old habits and be prepared for when the world opens up once more.

 

When she’s not heading up TASER Self-Defense marketing efforts, Jennifer can be found exploring the PNW trails near her Seattle area home or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. We talked to Jen and learned more about what keeps her going both at home and work, and her approach to self-defense and safety.

 

With so many changes happening in our day to day lives, we wanted to share some tips to stay safe and keep active during our time at home. Here are some of our favorite ways to keep our distance, stay active, and maintain our sanity during these strange times.
