UNIFY: Come Together

<p>The Beatles classic song “Come Together” ends in a refrain of “come together” repeated over and over again. I remember listening to the warm crackle of the needle on vinyl…Ahh such sweet sounds…and why shouldn’t they emphasis this PRINCIPLE of Life Defense. It works!</p> <p>…today in this cool, almost Spring morning we will be looking at the PRINCIPLE of UNIFY in self-defense and in Life, or Life Defense and how it works in your life.</p> <p>UNIFY in self-defense is sometimes applied against a rear bear hug.

We are now one, if only for a brief moment, and as one we are ultimately more powerful.</p> <p>What, or who are you UNIFYING with at work, or at home? If UNIFICAT
