Honored President, Distinguished Officers, Awesome Members and Wonderful
Guests.
Sunday evening, you are outside McDonald's with your wife and two children.
You've just bought a coke and have 66 dollars in your hand. Suddenly you're
attacked by an angry elephant. Impossible, Sure. But suppose it was an angry
Chen Jin-Shing? Could you stop him with 66 dollars? No way, anyway I am
safe here in my own city, my own street, my own home.
Are you sure? Yes. There's 20,000,000 people in Taiwan. (Figures) Now,
Taiwan has a homicide rate of 1:17,000 that's second highest in the world.
In 1996 over 8,000 men, 11,000 women were victims of violent crime. 549 are
not alive today
In 1997, over 1,440 women were raped that's over 3 a day. 10%, 144 were
girls under 12. Still feeling safe? Yes? It will never happen to my
family. (Newspapers)
◆ Kao Tien Ming, Chen Jin Shing kidnap and murder a 18 year old schoolgirl.
◆ Chen Jin Shing rapes 17 women.
◆ Two teenagers throw acid on an old handicapped man while robbing him.
◆ Outside Taipei First High School, a crazy woman throws a bucket of acid on some girls.
◆ In Tainan a doctor is kidnapped, and murdered over baby food!
If you still feel safe. I honestly admire your optimism.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I love Taiwan. Wo Shi Wan Taiwan. I've lived here for
nearly five years. I have a beautiful wife and a beautiful baby girl who is
six months old today. I am not here to make you feel scared. I am here to
make you feel safer. I will now give you some knowledge about self-defense
which may save you and your family some day.
Why should you know this?
Well, a large part of Chinese history is influenced by Yin/ Yang(陰/陽).
Yang life is bright and beautiful. But Yin life can be dark and dangerous.
Can you defend yourself when you might face the dark side?
I will now give you some brief concepts on self-defense.
A. It's not the stuff of Hong Kong movies.
B. Always avoid fighting until you have no choice.
There are three stages in mental preparation. Green, Orange, Red.
Green: Awareness-know what's going on. If you want to know about your health, yougo to a
doctor. If you want to know about the health of your neighborhood, go to your local police
station.
Orange: Anticipation--get ready for action. You notice two men outside your house. Do you walk on
carelessly with your hands in your pocketW or do you take your hands out and cross the
road.
Red: Action. Now you are faced with danger. You have two choices. Words or War.
Words: Last year in England an old 72 year-old man was robbed at knife point by two teenagers. He
suddenly got a heart attack saying, "Call an ambulance." The robbers ran away. He phoned
the police.
War: Now you will have to fight . Oh, where to hit? Well, hit something soft, eyes,nose, throat,
and solar plexus. Can't remember? Don't worry.Just think T. Nature has put all of these in a
T-line. How to hit? All of us have hidden energy and power. Try this clap, clap, bang. Now
try your face.
We are now back outside McDonald's. You have your family, your coke and
your 66 dollars. The two guys run at you. Response Hit and Run.
◆ Straw through cheek.(Apple)
◆ 66 dollars thrown at attacker.
Now run for safety.
Ladies and Gentlemen. Now you have a choice. I will visit your clubs and
share my knowledge to help you become more confident. All you have to do
is phone Taoyuan Club. The choice is yours.
◆ Hurt or Happiness.
◆ Sadness or Success.
◆ Victim or Victory.
Live in peace.
