Women's Self-Defense Instructors


Maeve D’Arcy                       
Certified Instructor
Dublin, Ireland

Maeve is an Aikido practitioner, having trained for nine years in locations like France, Italy, Germany and the Czech Republic.

Maeve is a caring and confident instructor. Her exposure to Rape Escape came through starting as an assistant instructor with Ray Butcher.

"I assisted Ray in many Level 1 & 2 courses. The feeling of satisfaction when we finish the courses is incredible.  Women who at the first class were totally oblivious to danger and powerless to react to a violent situation, leave full of confidence, with the skills they need to effectively defend themselves. 

"Unfortunately, most women I know go about their busy lives totally oblivious to what’s going on around them; and to make matters worse, they are under the illusion that being attacked is something that happens to someone else, not to them.  Women’s self-defence to me is 1) being more aware 2) having effective and simple techniques to defend myself from and escape from an attack."

What do you mean "Fight like a Girl"?

 

 

 

"In a stranger-rape situation, if he allows you to see his face, you get his name, or you can somehow otherwise identify your attacker, and he knows it, it’s all the more important to get away from him, even if he has a knife and you are risking injury.  Because unless he’s quite inexperienced, he’s likely to kill you to leave no witnesses." 

 John Douglas, legendary FBI profiler

Program a Long Time Coming

"The concept of enlightening women to 'fight like girls' is a long time coming. We should have been doing this years ago.  The female body is built differently and can be used effectively against a male attacker if trained properly.  Defend University and the Rape Escape program have proven again and again that the Fight Like a Girl program is successful, easy to learn and easy to deliver."

Dave Scorza
