Women's Self-Defense Instructors
Al comes to the Rape Escape program after recently retiring from the Department of Homeland Security as an ICE Special Agent. He has 27 years of experience as a federal agent and is now turning his extensive knowledge to be an advocate for women. "I've always had a desire to train women in using their natural abilities to first prevent being victimized and being able to fight and survive an assault," he says. "I also plan to work with children and recently got a certification from the state of Arizona to work with children." Al has a wealth of self-defense teaching experience. "I was a detailed Physical Techniques Instructor for U.S. Border Patrol to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center located in Glynco, Georgia. I trained future federal agents in the use of defensive tactics, baton training, boxing, handcuffing techniques, pressure points control tactics and I also conditioned the trainees. I was trained and certified to train trainees in the use of pressure points and batons. "On being promoted to a criminal investigator I instructed at the same academy for Immigration and Naturalization Criminal Investigators, Detention Officers and Inspectors. My assignments where the same as above. In 1995, I was certified as a master instructor to train INS enforcement personnel in the same, but also included training them in the use of electronic defense weapons and defense aerosol sprays. I was certified to train our personnel in the use of those non-lethal weapons. I was just recertified in December 2005, to train personnel in the use of aerosol defense sprays. "I am using one philosophy when it comes to women's self defense. Second place is unacceptable! I know we can turn the tide and help women stop becoming a statistic."

| 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."
