Columbia Self Defense

Sunday, October 2 marks both the United Nations' International Day of Non-Violence and the birthday of one of its biggest proponents: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. This video pays tribute to the concept and the man and is called the "Power of One." Here at SKS, we honor the values and practice of the nonviolent civil actions that changed a nation -- and indeed, the world.

Posted by Jasmine Williams on September 16, 2011 5:23 AM Domestic violence has left over 500 women in South Carolina dead since 2005. On Aug. 28, Jennifer Wilson, a professor at the University of South Carolina, died in her home following multiple stab wounds. Police arrested her ex-boyfriend, Hank Hawkes, for her death. It was early morning when neighbors called to report a loud argument, including Wilson screaming, "No, no, no!" But since it was quiet in the home when police drove by, they did not check on the woman. She was found dead later that day, Yahoo News reported. For the rest of the story, please click HERE .

The wrong kind of love includes emotional warfare. A destructive game played in a relationship when a person chips away at the very foundation of another individual. Emotional warfare is an invisible dagger to the heart. You don't see it coming when confronted. Below are some examples of : Emotional Abuse Name calling: “ you’re a bitch, a whore, fat, ugly, stupid, slut, trash” .
