7-Point Safety Plan of Action
1. Take a good quality self-defense class in your community. Check with the local police department to see if they offer the RAD Self-Defense Program. This is an excellent training program. Once you’ve completed the training, you can go back and attend as many classes as you want for free. Taking a self-defense class can give you a tremendous sense of empowerment and self-confidence. Knowing you have the fundamental skills and techniques that can help you protect and defend yourself is definately empowering. This is also a great opportunity to become physically fit. Read more
Staying Safe At College-20 Common Sense Safety Awareness Tips

Young men and women are heading back to college in the next 2-3 weeks to begin a new journey. For some this will be their first year but for others they are now college veterans.
Going to college can be one of the greatest times of your life. It is also a time when many young men and women find a reality that they may not have expected or are prepared for.
Prepare to be thrust into a much different lifestyle than what you have been living. For women you may have to learn to be more tactful and assertive in certain types of situations. Since crimes on campus are more prevalent among young women - following the common sense campus safety tips may prove to be very helpful.
You will be away from the watchful (and loving) eyes of "mom and dad", so you will need the strength and wisdom of what you’ve learned from them. As you leave home, your personal safety is going to be very important to your family and it should be to you as well. It seems we hear way too about young college-aged women who have become victims of terrible crimes. Don’t become a victim of crime. In fact, refuse to be a victim of crime and follow the 20 common sense safety tips listed. Read more

Ladies - Are you looking forward to your 2008-2009 college year as an exciting adventure? Is this your first year of college..or are you a seasoned college veteran? What a great time to be going to college - learning about new things, meeting new friends, and experiencing one of the greatest times of your life.
As a concerned parent who had both a son and daughter go through college, my suggestion for young ladies as they start the new school year is to check with your college/university to see if they offer RAD Self-Defense training and sign up. The class is about 4-weeks long and 2-3 hours one night a week. You learn about personal safety tactics, common sense awareness and self-defense techniques, and how to defend and protect yourself if attacked or assaulted. The more you know about defending yourself the safer you will be. Read more
Personal Safety - Jobs That Put Women At Risk
Are you in a "high risk" job that affects your personal safety? Over the next few weeks I will be talking with women in high risk jobs to find out how they deal with this risk day in and day out, and what they are doing to stay safe and avoid becoming a victim of crime. Some of the professions women have that are considered high risk are Realtors, In-Home Sales Consultants, Nurses, and Attorney’s - to name a few.
In my personal safety training, one of the first things I recommend that women do to stay safe is develop a Personal Safety Plan. As you become proactive in your personal safety it puts you totally in control. (And when you lose control you lose period). As part of the plan, I also suggest taking some kind of self-defense training (RAD Self-Defense is excellent) along with a safety awareness course. With both types of training you becoming mentally and physically educated in how to protect and defend yourself against an attacker. This will give you a tremendous amount of confidence and empowerment knowing you are in control. I also discuss the use of non-lethal personal protection devices that women can carry to more positively fend off an attacker.
If you would like to comment about how you deal with your personal safety on the job, that would be great. Sharing this type of information with others will help us all. I will be posting my interviews to my website so be sure to sign up for my RSS feed or email.

Simulation Night For Our RAD Self-Defense Class
Tonight - Tuesday, 3-25-08 - was the last of our RAD Self-Defense class held at the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department in Elkhart, Indiana. (Although I was able to videotape some of the ladies in class, I forgot that we are not able to put the videos on youtube or our website). The last night is known as "simulation". This is where you have scenario-type situations set up in which you will be attacked by a perpetrator. The ladies in this class seemed pretty excited about our last night…maybe even a little apprehensive because we were all unsure of exactly what would happen and how we would respond using the self-defense techniques we learned over the last (3) weeks.

Gutzy Self-Defense For Women-The Ultimate Palm Strike
Checkout Dr. Ruthless’ website @ www.dr-ruthless.com
This woman has definately got the self-defense moves, the self-defense techniques, and the gutziness to make me want to learn what she knows so I can add it to my safety plan of action. I never want to be a victim of crime. To be one step ahead of a predator, I want to know if attacked that I have the confidence, the fortitude, the know-how and the flat out strength and power to fight back with everything I have to survive!
When you think about it, why should some dirt-bag predator determine that your life is worth nothing and he has the right to take it from you…and your family. Just the thought of that scenario should make women angry as all get out!!
Watch the self-defense palm strike moves in the video and learn them. If attacked, this could be one of the ultimate weapons you effectively use to get away to safety.
Look at taking a good self-defense class - you know I highly recommend the RAD Self-Defense class.
Remember, Stay Aware…Stay Alert…Stay Alive!

R.A.D (Rape Aggression Defense) Self-Defense Training
R.A.D. Self-Defense Training
Many women have never heard of the RAD System, but it has been around since 1989. It is taught by certified R.A.D. instructors on many college campuses and in local communities throughout the United States.
The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a Martial Arts program. The courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors and provide each student with a workload/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous personal growth, and is the key to our free lifetime return and practice policy for R.A.D. graduates. Read more
