Model Mugging Women's Self-defense and Rape Prevention Courses

1. Basic Self-Defense Course
2. Armed Assailants

Self-defense Training takes place in small class sizes to ensure personalized training with a low student to teacher ration.

Basic Women’s Self-Defense Course

Total course time is two days for the basics course taught during one weekend.

• Day One covers the Five Principles of women’s self-defense/empowerment to include crime prevention and awareness strategies taking into account the behavioral patterns of criminals, situational recognition, personal behavioral assessment, resource identification, and methods to identify vulnerability, countermeasures available, and more. The goal is student psychological preparation to reduce inhibitions that will lead to improving the fighting spirit. The foundation of physical skills is established in preparation for day two.
• Day Two covers defense against single unarmed assailant from positions derived from research. We review predator typologies and apply this knowledge to fighting strategies and tactics to include vocalization, assertiveness, boundary setting, negotiation, identifying then using weaknesses and strengths, option selection and application, self-evaluation, realistic physical skill development. Only by touching all the senses will education and training result in lasting attitude changes. Empowerment is achieved in a variety of aspects by the end of the day.

Women's Self-Defense Against Armed Assailants

Women are usually the targets of unarmed assailants. Acquaintance rapists occasionally use weapons, but the majority of rapists using weapons are strangers. Abusive partners occasionally use weapons to intimidate and in times of extreme emotional turmoil will use a weapon.

Just because an assailant has a weapon does not limit your options, although your options may change, but timing a physical response becomes more critical. Women's Self-defense against armed assailants modifies many of the same strategies and movements learned in the Basic Model Mugging Self-defense Course.

Women's Self-Defense Against Multiple Assailants

It is likely most members of group assailants would not have the courage to carry out such acts by themselves and would only commit criminally sexual behavior under the anonymity of the group.

They attack victims as a means for group interaction and competition; victims are simply their prizes of entertainment. If attacked by a multiple assailants, remember that compliance will only get you raped. Fighting for your freedom often emerges as your best option.
