Women's Self-Defense Instructors


Ken Utterback
Laguna Hills, Calif.

Instructor 2:
Fight Like a Girl
Girls on Guard


"Knowledge is power when it comes to protecting yourself," says Ken.  "Every woman should have the chance, or opportunity to obtain the knowledge and support that she needs to feel safe in today’s society."

Ken Utterback, women's self-defense instructorKen is an accomplished martial artist and an experienced instructor.  He has been been studying martial arts for about 25 years and currently holds the rank of 3rd Dan in Shaolin Kempo.  He has also studied Shaolin Kempo for 9 years with additional study in Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, BaGua, Filipino Arnis, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

"After having two little girls added to our family, I realized that I had a deeper level of justice than I had ever thought. I found that I wanted to do anything I could to protect them and to keep my family safe. Having an opportunity to own and run a martial arts studio has become rather eye opening. I have further realized that my students have become like an extended family and that I wanted to be able to provide them with the same type of knowledge that they could use to protect themselves. Having this knowledge allows me the opportunity to show what a positive role model is within our community. This is one way that I feel that I can contribute and give back to society."

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
