Be aware and be confident!" Mark is a Black Belt in Freestyle Karate and he also teaches children who cannot afford to attend commercial karate classes.

Safe Guard Self Defense | 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." 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."

"First,
I feel this is my calling. I want to offer a program that gives the woman the
edge needed to protect themselves in an assault. There is really no
[women's self-defense] program in my area that teaches more than just punching
and kicking. I sat through a self-defense program that was based solely around
feeding a side kick to the ribs. I’m sorry in today’s society that’s not enough.
Women need to feel confident in the application of what they are being taught.
Rape is something that stays with the victim forever, if my involvement can help
reduce other women from going through that pain by empowering them to defend
themselves, then that is why I am here.
