Women's Self-Defense: Do You Want to Be Able to Defend Yourself and Survive Your Worst Nightmare?

by Jeffrey M. Miller SPS, DTI

Let me ask you a question: "Are you ready to do what you need to do to survive a real-world attack – especially one that requires the kind of skills, techniques, tactics and strategies designed specifically for women's self-defense?"

I hope so. Because...

...in this post, I'm not going to teach so much as describe a very real possibility, and what WILL happen if the training and information that you have learned... is wrong!

Imagine, if you will...

You're walking across a dark parking lot late at night. The lot, apparently occupied only by the vehicles parked there and the occasional cat hunting for an evening snack.

Then, as if from out of nowhere, you feel the hard, meaty arm slam into your throat from the front. While your mind races to determine exactly what's happening, you become more and more aware that you are not in control - your world has just changed forever.

You feel your muscles contract and, though you try to move, you're sickeningly aware that much of your own body won't respond to your brain's commands. As the adrenaline and other chemicals flood your blood stream in natural response to danger, you are suddenly overcome by a multitude of feelings and sensations that you have, quite literally, never experienced before - certainly not with this much raw, primal intensity.

As the initial shock response and wave of panic begins to ebb, you find yourself becoming aware of the sensation of your assailant's body behind you and the fact that his arm is coming from over your right shoulder. You can now hear his hot, rasping breath in your ear and perhaps the fact that he is saying something to you; though you're not quite sure what it is.

Since you've taken a few women's self-defense classes, you remember learning how to get out of this type of attack and reach up to grab and pull his arm away from your neck. What you find though, is that you cannot even begin to budge it in the least.

"Wait a minute," you think in a moment of clarity, "this isn't right."

"This isn't right!"

"It always worked in class." "This guy's holding me too tight!" "No one ever holds THIS TIGHT!"

You feel the next wave of panic start to grip your body and your senses. Not because you're being attacked but...

...because you realize that your self-defense training doesn't work.

"WHY?" "WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

"IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK!" "He said it would wo...."

As the light fades and you feel the darkness pull over you like a warm, comfortable blanket, you are remanded to the whims of your attacker... not knowing whether the light will return to your eyes again.

Gruesome story, I know. But... for thousands of women who become the victims of brutal attacks everyday – it's not a story... it's reality! And, if you're going to be prepared to survive a dangerous attack in the real world, from a real-world assailant, and not become another victim...

...then you had better wake up to more than a few myths and illusions that have been pulled over your eyes about self-defense for women.

Some of these myths and 'bad ideas' are being passed around by so-called women's self-defense experts, some by your friends and family members living in denial, and yes... some are even of your own creation. And, in the midst of a violent attack, where one or more brutal assailants are trying to beat you into submission for a few lousy bucks in your pocket, or because they're having a bad day...


...you better make sure that what you “think” you know... is right!
