About Our Women's Self-Defense/Rape Prevention Program
MDI's
Women's Self Defense
program is specifically designed to meet the needs
of the modern woman facing threats in the real world. The class
focuses on using the most effective weapons at your disposal for
maximum effect against larger opponents.
MDI has reached the conclusion that most traditional martial arts
are designed around the idea that both combatants are within 15-20%
of the same size. Within these parameters, a highly trained martial
artist can defend himself adequately against threats. However, for
most women, this is not the reality they face. Most women who are
the victim of a violent attack are significantly overmatched in size
and strength. MDI has developed a program specifically designed to
overcome this problem.
One in three women
will be a victim of a sexual assault in her lifetime. One
out of every eight women will be a victim of a forcible
rape in her lifetime. When preventive skills were used
during sexual attacks, studies show that 44% of the victims
avoided rape. Avoid becoming part of the statistics by increasing your
awareness to potential threats. Learn how to defend
yourself and have the confidence that you can avert personal tragedy
in the event of an attack.
