Women's Self-Defense Instructors

Tom Striplin
Certified Instructor
Mt. Savage, Maryland

Tom is a 2^nd Degree Black  Belt in Tang Soo Do and owner and operator of American Martial Arts Academy. 

He teaches children and adults in the Korean Martial arts and women in the Rape Escape method.  He became a women's self-defense instructor because no such program existed in his community.  He is a professor at one of the two colleges in his community and wanted to bring the program to these students as well.

"There is a void in qualified women’s self defense programs that actually work.   I wanted to offer a program that will help give women the tools to have a chance in an attack and not teach them something that will backfire on them.

"Women need to understand the dynamics involved in assault.  The environment, the types of attackers, and need to have some type of training to be able to react in a way that could save their lives or the lives of their children or others."
