Dealing with Emotions and Building Self-confidence

In actual attacks, victims have reported their initial reaction to be surprise and they describe freezing in fear. Their mind goes blank and they are quickly overwhelmed by the violence.

Starting in the very first class, women learn how to deal with their emotions of fear. Being scared is natural, so the Model Mugging System shows women how to recondition the “freeze response” through repetitions of being placed in a scenario based environment. This is a major benefit of Fear Adrenal Stress Training.

Women build their self-confidence when they learn how to defend themselves in realistic scenarios. They learn to use “real” fear to their advantage by transforming it into positive fighting energy. During the course women also learn to deal with other feelings such as inferiority, helplessness, and anger.

Model Mugging shows women how to use their smaller size and lesser strength to their advantage. Women learn how to use distractions and surprise against an assailant, which are critical to realistic fighting. It is very difficult for an assailant to defend himself from a counterattack if he is unprepared for it. Model Mugging is a complete and comprehensive system specializing in the needs of women.

There are certain benefits of the course that cannot be obtained by osmosis, reading a book, or watching a video. Students need actual fighting experience and feedback from certified instructors. Students gain self-confidence through firsthand experience of protecting themselves. Crime is a physical act, defending yourself against crime requires physical practice.
