SAVage : Hybrid Combat Systems
999 Oxford Avenue H4A 2X4 Montreal, QC, Canada

Kevin's newest download on EDC... I can only imagine the amount of controversy he must be dealing with right now for such material, but it is so worth it! As usual, he presented his topic integrally and accessibly for everyone, with considerated tact about our own responsability, and while making it fun and even pressure tested :) Go get it if you are a fan of self-defense tools or even if you exclusively wish to have a better understanding of them :... https://youtu.be/Eaxmqr3pUiQ See more

Please keep in mind that these are obviously generalized... And a person will rarely be under the influence of one category of trauma responses exclusively. It often works as a primary, secondary, etc. type of thing!

Being an army brat and the only girl who was treated like a "boy" in a dojo filled mostly with rough men and an handful of fragile women... I consider myself a "demanding" teacher, and I'm totally fine with it! I've seen what being encouraged to say like a "princess" brings, and this is just not for me, so I'm more than proud to say that my top students (regardless of their gender) are savages -- like myself :) #savannaharchambault #savage #hybridcombatsystems #integratedfigh...tingsystems #kevinsecours #teacher #questions #answers #selfdefense #martialarts #youtube #playlist #mentor #dojo #teaching #legacy https://youtu.be/sJ0vXLo28rg

Abuse is abuse... Emotional (or any other type for that matter) abuse is not any less significant than the physical one : Physical abuse is often simply easier to notice -- at least, on a technical level.

Hello guys, When I switch from the "private" field to the "public" one, lots of anxiety was associated to this life/job change... But now that Im settled in it, and even more so since Ive been part of the mental health committee, I feel lucky to be in a workplace that promotes physical activities in their own way.... So heres another article that could make you brainstorm a little bit about it -- whether it is as an employee or an employer (enjoy!) : https://savannaharchambault.blogspot.com//what-influences-

My business challenge is "allowing" me to make slightly more time for my already fair training schedule, and it brought be to re-include yoga in it! It definitely wont be part of my daily workout, but Ill be doing my best to re-integrate it as regularly as possible :) So heres another article that will even remind myself as to why I should do so :... https://savannaharchambault.blogspot.com//3-good-reasons-t

For those of you who might be interested, thank you for watching! :)

Heres another short personal article that Ive written for this worldwide mental health and suicide prevention month, related to my business challenge! This one is about 5 subjects that should actually motivate you to be more physically active, even though people usually focus on the negative side of them, if you feel like this is a lacking part in your life : https://savannaharchambault.blogspot.com//five-thoughts-on... Enjoy :)

For Suicide Prevention day, Im reminding myself how low Ive been throughout certain moments of my life. But more importantly, Im going to try and share a slightly different awareness perspective for those who it might help. I wont give you the common **** that some people sell, Ill tell you this instead : 1- Be transparent to yourself, first and foremost -- If that means being depressed, rageful, confused, lost, whatever... So be it. Accept what you feel, and feel it as ...much as necessary. Cause thats the single way youll eventually get over and agree to discover the appropriate support for you. If you seek attention and comfort from anyone who is near, know that this probably wont solve much of your unhealthy mechanisms and patterns. Realize what and who is truly around you, talk to a professional about your specific and personal issues, and then understand that a unique loved one or an handful in a closed circle is enough to assist you in overcoming anything if they are genuinely there to fight along your side. Quality over quantity, always. Also, the quality will accept how you will, and be there next to you. Even if that only means waiting patiently for the wave to pass while silently holding your hand. 2- Do not let anyone impose their thoughts or beliefs about y-o-u-r suicidal tendencies on you -- whether it is from someone who claim having the same problems, from a family member or a friend or a colleague who is giving you unsolicited advices, dont even take for granted that a mental health specialist automatically offer you the miraculous solution. Ive mentioned it here and there in the past, especially right after that period. The psychiatrist who helps me the most when I was hospitalized for my tentative is the one who told me that "if hating him was the thing that would keep me alive, he was going to take it and I would live." That was my reason to survive, to not give this satisfaction to those who have added and encouraged this part of me to grow to that extend. Do not let anyone shame you and do not fear what others might think or believe of your reasons for working on staying alive. All that matters during those instances is for you to not die. Im going to stop myself right here (haha) -- and forward you this site to explore : https://www.iasp.info/wspd2020/

Please, do understand that Covid is in the category of "not training for 2 weeks" -- LOL #train #training #sickness #illness https://savannaharchambault.blogspot.com//train-when-you-a

Hello my SAVagers, For my "Business Challenge" month, Ill start feeding my blog again! So heres my newest article :... https://savannaharchambault.blogspot.com//the-impact-of-ph

How to train all the combative levels of "Bear Trap"... Uncomplicated, ferocious, effortless, viscious, simply and plainly efficient :)... https://youtu.be/UIGW4REiewg

Is this a verbal de-escalation technique? Haha

Today is World Mental Health Day : If you know someone close to your heart who has mental health issues, maybe today would be a particularly appropriate day to check up on them about their specific challenges -- to know where they are at, to have a profound conversation about a challenging topic, to actively listen to them, to genuinely support their feelings, to understand who they are, and to prioritize to what they wish for rather than what it should be (an average person ...often has a relatively limited emotional intelligence, imagine now that your brain forbids you to differ reality from insecurity half of the time and that life taught you to bury what your heart tries to signal you). We should all work on the taboo that is mental health everyday, but if that's something somehow difficult for you, use this special day as an opportunity.

"S6. Ep. 6: The Truth About Womens Self Defense with Savannah Archambault Savannah Archambault is a self-defence #instructor and #founder of SAVage Hybrid Combat Systems based in #Montreal, #Quebec, #Canada. Growing up in a #military #family, Savannah always had an urge to #protect her #community and be of service. She eventually found her #calling after stumbling across the #legendary Kevin Secours and becoming an instructor in his system of self-defence. In this conversat...ion we tackle some hard topics and provide a criminally under-represented view of what its like to be a female in a #combatives class, the #motivations and #mindset for women entering these classes, and the advantages and disadvantages of being a woman who wants to #teach #self-#defence. Savannah also shares openly about her #experience of #rape and #sexual #assault and the #impact that has had on her and the way she teaches." It is an indescribable #pleasure to be now part of the names who were interviewed for Managing Violence Podcast with Joe Saunders. Thanks to Joe Saunders for giving me this opportunity with the #openness that very few possess. Make sure to subscribe and follow Managing #Violence Tribe to stay up to date with his work. I invite you to #share our #podcast together as much as you want and wherever you wish. Our topics involve slight language and significant trigger warnings so be aware. I had the chance to discuss still #taboo and #controversial issues so I completely used it. I may say that this first public talk is speaking from my core and I cant wait for the next one. I welcome any positive and constructive comments. Please send anyone who might need #help relatively to these subjects my way.

Who's happy about Autumn? #active #fall #do #autumn https://savannaharchambault.blogspot.com//being-active-in-

For those who enjoy Kevin Secours work... Whether it is from his implication as combat consultant in Splinter Cell : Blacklist, his revolutionary worldwide association Combat Systema, or his Modern Kempo Jujitsu legacy from his dojo Integrated Fighting Systems. You will surely enjoy this written interview :... https://www.thecombatcave.com/page-3735413.html As usual, he is sharing through kindness, but also transparency! I hope a few points will make you realize or remind you why hell always be considered my most inspiring mentor of all time and why hes the roots of SAVage :) Congratulations to The Combat Cave. for this fantastic one

Hello SAVagers! Little tees update : Order confirmed, payment completed! I should be contacting all my buyers by this weekend Hello SAVagers! Little tees update : Order confirmed, payment completed! I should be contacting all my buyers by this weekend

Unless you aim to grow from it, I dont want to hear about it... I dont mind struggling to get there, I do mind victimization though

Again, Im not the type to denigrate an issue to promote another, especially when the one that Im currently trying to share about has been belittled since the beginning of times. So here it is : I believe this short article is essential if we wish to become more aware of the various realities related to child trafficking. Fast and easy to read, straight to the point; transparent and authentic, eye-opening!... https://www.upworthy.com/what-child-trafficking-looks-like

Doesnt look like much... But "skipping rope" in the air is a warm-up highly practiced by boxers : Its definitely one of my favorites! Great for cardio, coordination, footing and breathing Contact me if youd be interested in participating to this SAVage self-defense fitness program!! Every Wednesday, at 6pm, in Jarry Park ... PS : this is what my SAVage tee looks in action, from the back, haha!

Last SAVage tees post until my second order... To announce that you have until Saturday evening to confirm your request! I should have enough buyers already -- but my third batch probably wont be before mid-2021 aaannddd the whole style might change ssssssooooooo (not the logo or name, obviously, haha) ... Also, for those who have yet to precise the size, please know that you are under the same deadline!.. Oooorrr, I will choose a size for you, and thats that PS : Check out the pictures of our previous post to see my SAVage tees

Ssoooo, I have been receiving some great feedbacks about my post on Tuesday regarding SAVage long-sleeves... Mainly hopeful requests for a second batch! And so, if you are interested in them or my short-sleeves tees, please, write a comment below including : - How many;... - Size needed. (You may obviously send me such informations in a private message instead, haha) This is just a try to see if I have enough buyers to not end up in the street halfway through my next order

Im not going to say : "Everyone has been talking about "this" while "that" have been happening." Because this issue had been going on since the beginning of times... The only variations are the awareness and the shamelessness about it depending on the culture(s) and where society is at.... This is horrible no matter what excuses one would come up with -- I hope the various Denver security departments have been investigating on who promoted this shit and that they were taken accountable for it! Thats all Im going to say about such worldwide problem for now

La ligne est trs mince entre labus et un comportement "en sant"... Le consentement clair et libre fait tout la diffrence! Renier un tel principe fondamental augmente le risque quun incident se produise ventuellement.
