Most of what you have read or been told about
women's self defense is just plain hog wash!
Did
you know that most of what is taught in Women's Self
Defense Seminars is all but useless in a real life
attack?
99%
of the Women's Self Defense videos teach techniques
that would never work on the street!
Learning
Self Defense at most martial arts schools will do
nothing but give you a false sense of security!
A
Special Report:
Empowering
the So Called "Weaker Sex"
Dear
Friend,
After
over 35 years of studying and teaching martial arts
I can tell you beyond any doubt that most of what
is being taught today in martial arts schools, women's
self-defense seminars and videos... just won't work
in a real attack!
It's
true. And it's a darn shame. So many unsuspecting,
poorly trained and totally clueless women are walking
around with a false sense of security. Believing that
they would stand a real chance in an honest to goodness
street attack or sexual assault.
Look
at the numbers. They are real scary:
One rape or sexual assault occurs every two
minutes.
One violent crime occurs every five
seconds in the U.S.
172 Women are physically and/or sexually
assaulted every hour!
261,000 rapes and sexual assaults occurred
in the U.S. in 2000.
90,186 forcible rapes in 2000 as reported
to police.
In the year 2000, 2.8 % of college women
experienced rape in a six month U.S.
Department of Justice study.
17% of rape or sexual assault victims
were victimized by someone they knew!
One murder occurs every 34 minutes.

So
what is wrong with most traditional training?
For
the first 20 years or so of my own personal training,
I taught much the same way everyone else did. Sure
it worked fine in the studio (I own a martial arts
school), but I often wondered if the women I were
teaching would really be able to defend themselves
if they needed to.
About that
time a friend of mine invited me to train with his
master instructor. He claimed that his instructor
taught an awesome and realistic system of street self-defense.
I was curios to see what this guy was all about, so
I accepted. It didn’t take long to realize that he
was right.
After the
very first session he had proved to me, without a
doubt, that what I had been teaching my students most
likely wouldn't work under the duress of real attack.
This is what I learned:
The
natural effect of real aggression causes what
is called an "adrenaline dump". This fear induced
high volume shot of adrenaline is normal and
natural and cannot be stopped, even by experienced
black belts.
The
effects of this "adrenaline dump" can be devastating,
especially if you are not prepared for it.
The
main problem is that many of the techniques
that are taught in traditional women's self
defense training are too tricky or too complicated
for the average person to properly execute.
This is especially true under the duress of
an all out street attack.
Techniques
that are highly complicated tend not to be executed
properly, if at all, when the pressure is on
and adrenaline levels are high.
Many
of the systems use joint locks and pressure
points that require years of training to properly
execute. Sometimes even when they are applied
properly to someone who has an unusual amount
of joint flexibility or a high resistance to
pain, they don’t work.
FBI
journals indicate that a high percentage of attacks
can be avoided using good verbal and spacial skills.
A
great number of the techniques taught were not
designed especially for women. They require too
much upper body strength.
Many
of the arts teach kicking techniques that are
great for the studio or for sport competition,
but are all but useless on the street. Unfortunately
many of the practitioners of these arts are
led to believe that they can really use these
kicks effectively in a combat situation. They
end up with a false security believing they
can defend themselves with such techniques.
In reality, if they ever have to really protect
themselves, they can get themselves into trouble
very quickly.
Many
techniques require years of training or are
just impossible to learn unless you are under
the direct training of the master instructor.
You cannot learn these properly from a video,
book or seminar. They take years to perfect,
even under the supervision of an expert instructor.
Allot
of what is taught is just fluff! It doesn't
stand a chance to work in a real attack!
So following
my master's training, guidance and advice I went to
work to develop such a system. Believe me, it wasn't
easy, even for an 'expert' with over 20 years of training
at the time.
We analyzed
how, when and where most women were attacked. We found
that many, if not most attacks, were preceded by some
form of verbal assault or what we call the "Interview".
An interesting
fact is that a very high percentage of attacks (as
much as 90%, according to the FBI) do not come as
a total surprise. In fact, a high percentage of attacks
on women are by someone they know!
What I
am talking about here is someone jumping out from
behind a bush or parked car. No, more often than not,
real attacks are usually preceeded by some sort of
verbal exchange.
Knowing
how to deal with this "Interview" can help
you avoid most attacks from ever becoming physical.
The "bonus"
to this technology is that should the aggressor still
attempt to proceed with his physical assault, your
mind and body will be in "high gear" to
offer you the best physical defense as well.
We discovered
that an effective solution to effective women's self
defense must contain the following benefits:
It
had to address the inevitable "adrenaline
dump" which is the natural effect of fear
induced aggression.
It
had to be simple enough to teach students in days
or weeks instead of years!
It
had to be effective regardless of the body type
of the attacker.
It
had to be quick, effective and decisive!
It
had to address real street situations and sexual
assault instead of the typical studio environment.
It
had to teach verbal and physical boundry setting
skills as research has shown many physical confrontations
can be avoided.
It
had to contain a minimum amount of techniques.
This was necessary as research has shown that
as few as a handful of techniques can be recalled
when fully "adrenalized".
It
had to be designed to defeat a much larger and
stronger attacker!
It
had to be easy to learn.
It
had to take into consideration that most women
are weaker and have less upper body strength than
men.
Additionally
it had to be direct, powerful and yet simple and
straight forward enough to be taught through video
based training.
During
the next several years I searched everywhere and every
way to simplify, and improve every aspect of our women's
self-defense system. This search included going to
seminars, visiting other schools, bringing in guest
instructors and reviewing close to 100 self defense
videos.
I purchased
every women's self defense video and book that I could
get my hands on.
I was sifting
through masses of information to pick up a gem here
and there. Slowly I made changes to what we taught
and how we taught it. Constantly modifying, perfecting
and refining our program to what it is today.
We looked
at all the possible attacks, focused on the most common
and developed a system that took into consideration
the 'adrenal dump' which causes us to freeze up and
lose fine motor coordination.
We eliminated
any response that did not fit into this reality. We
added more simple, direct and extremely effective
strikes, moves and techniques that could be learned
simply and easily. And, did not require years of training.
Finally
we condensed this entire process into a simple, organized
system of instruction. To help our students learn
the system we decided to carefully put the entire
process on video. It's done in a step by step manner
so that even a total beginner can learn it.
The video
we created is called:
