Attention All Women:
Why You Need to Learn Self-Defense
(Even if you Never Get Attacked by
Anything Bigger Than Your Cat)
Let’s face it: You may never go toe-to-toe with a gun-toting gangster. You know to watch your drink when you're out dancing, and you're wary of the well-groomed stranger who wants to use your home phone and presses to come inside. But...
Can you relate to these experiences:
- Walking out of your shower in the health club to find the young man who just joined your yoga class -- and everybody else has gone home.
- Waiting for a bus when a fellow commuter strikes up a conversation (and wondering if he’s a potential date or stalker or both).
- Feeling nervous as you walk to your car at night (and then an SUV driver pulls up next to you, rolls down the window and asks for a cigarette).
- Working late at the office when a good-looking coworker begins a conversation (and you have no idea if he's legitimate or lethal).
- Enjoying an evening till your date starts bombarding you
with
overly personal questions.
- Concerned about protecting your children in the 21st Century (without turning into a smothering mother).
- Watching your neighbor show up for coffee with visible
bruises and a story about walking into a door (and wondering what, if
anything, you should do or say).
If you relate to these scenarios, you've come to the right place. I can help.

Why Your Most Powerful Self-Defense Weapon Is Already Inside Your Head
You've probably seen self-defense demonstrations. Maybe you even attended classes. If you're like many women, you think self-defense means kicking your attacker in a very sensitive and strategic spot.
Physical defense will always be part of the game plan. Sometimes you have no choice. But when you live strategically, your most important self-defense weapon is your well-prepared brain.
You will increase your odds of walking away from a risky situation when you know:
- How to choose words that make an attacker likely to decide, “I’m outta here!”
- How to walk into a room so you signal, “Don’t mess with me – I’m not an easy target”
- How to foil the most common sneaky ploys used to get past your defenses
- How to enhance your awareness of your environment
- How to use your voice to protect yourself with power
- How to recognize when you're not letting yourself see
warnings of abuse and danger
- What to do if the worst happens and you must defend yourself physically,even if he’s bigger than you are
