Statistics provided by RAINN state that:

  • 1/4 women will be sexually assaulted during their college careers
  • Over 1 million cases of Aggrevated Assault are reported each year


Many of the girls I know have never been part of a self-defense program because:

-Its expensive
-Its time consuming
-It seems corney
-They think attacks cannot happen to them
-They dont have a good school near them
-Its not always fun

Im asking YOU:

 If you had a self-defense/personal safety program that was fun, convenient and reality-based (real) would you want to learn?


If so, why havent you?
If not, why not?

Should your daughter/family be learning?

Do YOU think the statistics are high enough for concern?

Lets talk about it and see what women really think about learning about personal safety!

I've had this topic on my todo list for several months.  I really want to take martial arts class.  I think it would be a great educational experience as well as good physical exercise.  My problem is time.  I just don't have the time to fit it into my busy schedule.  I would love to take my daughters as well but neither of them are very interested in it.

Have you even been told you can't because you're a girl?
