Women's Self-Defense Instructors
Dr. Ruiz-Healy is a physician and an engaging individual who is deeply committed to women's self-defense. She has served as the Regional Coordinator National Women Martial Arts Federation and is active in the Association for Women Martial Arts Instructors. She has developed and taught courses for women self-awareness, de-escalation, self-awareness and self-defense. Josephine is active in her community, having taught parenting skills classes to at risk mothers, and providing volunteer medical work in the U.S. and Mexico. As the Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, University of Texas Health Science Center, she mentors 1st and 2nd year medical students. "Any girl or women, despite of size and physical capability, has the right to defend herself. You should not have to train for years in the Martial Arts in order to feel safe. "I have been a physician for many years, I treat many girls and young women, as part of their regular yearly visits I incorporate an age appropriate discussion about self-awareness, safety, self-defense and rape. I have treated girls that have been victims of assault at different levels, and I feel most of these situations can be prevented with proper education. "I feel I am in a situation where it is my RESPONSIBILITY to transmit the best knowledge possible in the most efficient manner to the families I have the honor to treat in my Medical practice as well as in my Martial Arts School."

"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."
