MODEL MUGGING Women's Self-Defense is a system designed for crime prevention, self-defense, personal safety, and empowerment. Women learn how to protect themselves from a single unarmed assailant (basic self-defense course), armed assailants, and multiple assailants. When taught by certified instructors, Model Mugging Self-defense is the most advanced and safest self-defense program available for women, both physically and emotionally. Model Mugging will impact your life.

Model Mugging Self-defense is based on over 35 years of research, science, and developmental evolution. The elements of rape crisis advocacy, crime prevention, criminal profiling, and the martial arts have all been intertwined into the most complete and comprehensive, "street" practical, self-defense program in the world.

This self-defense course is designed for the specific needs of women. Since 1971, tens of thousands of women worldwide have already taken this course and report it was the best course they ever took!!!

Model Mugging is much more than just learning how to fight back. The emotional growth and increased self-confidence women receive is incredible. Lives are turned around in less than 20 hours of intense martial science instruction, while combining Eastern and Western training methods. Model Mugging can reduce the chance of assault by 95%.

In the decades we have been teaching the System, we have noticed that as a woman’s confidence increase, she can simultaneously identify and avoid situations in the first place that might normally involve physical conflict. Most graduates step right out of the victim pool and subtly maneuver as “hard targets.” Women with higher self-confidence and self-esteem are more aware of coercive strategies and con techniques as well as situations common to physical assaults. Women who are prepared in the 4 steps to self-defense [see below this bucket] know how to recognize and then effectively respond to potentially dangerous situations can more safely enjoy a happier and more fulfilling life.

The Paradox of self-defense demonstrates the more prepared you are to defend yourself, the less likely you will ever have to.
