Women's Self-Defense Instructors


Antonio Gonzalez    
Certified Instructor
Brooklyn, New York

Antonio is a committed Shotokan black belt who teaches karate and self-defense to both children and adults.

Antonio Gonzalez"Women should not have to be marital artists to be able to defend themselves.  They should be taught to adapt to various life threatening situations using easy and realistic techniques.  A self defense instructor’s goal should be to ensure that his or her students survive the threat and escape, and not concern themselves with the apprehension and/or detention of the attacker. 

"Rape is a very serious crime and the possible consequences to a woman are extreme and long lasting.  As a Rape Escape instructor, I teach women how to use simple techniques to defend themselves against brute force.  All women have the right to defend themselves and I plan to help women exercise that right."

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
