The other thing people need is probably even more important, and that is "situational awareness" which can be anything from having an alarm system installed in your house to picking which side of the street you walk on.
Men and women need to get over their fear of guns. There is a stigma around guns with some people that says "only bad guys have them". Well, the gun doesn't know who is holding it. Train yourself to be safe and to defend yourself and your family. Criminals don't make appointments and they won't give you a fair fight. Murder and rape victims don't die/suffer because they forgot to call 911.
The weak part of this training is that it will give these women a false sense of security. With most attackers, these skills will be of no use. Also, criminals don't wait around for a woman to employ her best kick. Their attacks start with a Sunday punch and next you are stunned and frozen in fear. By the time you figure out what is going on, half your clothes are off. Same goes for most guys. The only real answer is (next post....)
What the training has going for it that it speaks to the community's acceptance of the use of self-defense as a better alternative to complying with an aggressor. Compliance will not always save your life as in the Chesire case. The other positive is that these women actually go about doing something to improve their chances. On the other hand (next posting...)
The point of programs like RAD is not to make the women killing machines, just to give them some knowledge to help them should an uncomfortable situation arise and she needs to buy a little time to run away.
If you dont keep PRACTICING all the time I dont mean once a year or once a month, or even once a week. You will not be able to hit the vital points that make the system work. A six week course one night a week for 2 or 3 hrs. is a joke.
