Twelve Women's Self-Defense Instructors Certified to Teach Rape Escape

Twelve instructors from around the nation and from Ireland are now certified to teach the Rape Escape method of women's self-defense.

A two-day program was held May 3 and 4 in Phoenix to certify the instructors to teach all three levels of the popular women's self-defense course.  The first level of Rape Escape covers the most common sexual assault positions, the next level covers date rape scenarios and more advanced rape scenarios and the final level deals with saving yourself from a homicidal rapist attacking you with a weapon.

The intense course covered all of the techniques, the philosophy behind the unique Fight Like a Girl motto, how to teach the popular course, and what pitfalls to avoid when dealing with sensitive subject matter.

The new instructors are:

Peter Iacavazzi Ray Butcher
Kathy Maxwell David Rollins
Kevin Maxwell Dr. Abida Ripley
Andrea Peuster Steve Kardian
Margie Proctor Mike Wall
Tom Proctor Wendy Borst

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
