Dr. Ruthless®: Practical, Primal Self Defense For Women

[twinpoweractivate94]

every woman should learn this!!!

[rabiared]

Sorry for the horrible shreddng of sound. I finally have the time to have it looked into and to get it remedied. Forgive my delay - and stay tuned!!!!

[rabiared]

@russiancrew5000 Thank you - I didn't know that!!! I'm a tech dope, any sugguestions?

[streetmartialscience]

Wonderful stuff! I love to see gross motor skills at work. I hate it when people say they are teaching "womans self-defense", then have them drop into a horse stance and punch into thin air. I think we could benifit from a suit like that... Great Job!

[berinobi1]

the guys get hurt alot

[porcelana4ever]

Wow!

[porcelana4ever]

Yell, but don't forget, don't panic, but concentrate, yell every time you hit, but don't forget he's not as strong as he looks like

[loveelle94]

hell yeah! girl power!!

[TheGreatEscapes]

Again - great stuff. Where do you get your equipment from?

[rabiared]

@TheGreatEscapes It's customized, not commercially available. Thanks again!

[TheGreatEscapes]

Good stuff - although the attacks with gear on could be improved by using Tony Blauer's HIgh Gear outfits. Great use of knees and elbows - just as I had been taught. Great advice about driving through your target. We need more of this on YouTube, as most of the women's self defense vids posted on YouTube are pure junk - totally unrealistic. Just the opposite of this vid. Keep up the good work.

[rabiared]

@TheGreatEscapes Thank you, I appreciate that a lot. Total respect for Tony Blauer and his outstanding methds. That said, High Gear helmet would not stand up to the full force battering we do to the head including full force (rape defense and ground fighting) side thrust kicks to the head, full elbows to face etc. (Even from big dudes!) Thank you again for your comment.

[TrickShepherd]

Dr Ruthless has the best self defense solutions on youtube. Second best is BAMM/IMPACT which is very similer.

[SleepyFox79]

some of the most vicious knee strikes i have ever seen!

[TheMillenniaTeam]

this is good but the only suggestion i have is: "could you make the helmet on the guy smaller?" they might get used to such a big target

[rabiared]

Unfortunately no, because of the hard hitting and various full force elbows and kicks and strikes and how the helmet dovetails perfectly with the shoulder pads and more. It all works togehter customized to the man to protect him so his neck doesn't break and doesn't get brain dead!

[OrmEmber]

If I were a dad I would make my daughters watch this and then practice it before I ever gave them car keys.

By the way, if you're a woman, don't start by trying to kick a guy in the balls; he expects that and will automatically shield them. Attack something else he doesn't expect, then when he's reeling from that, you can kick in his groin. I have no sympathy for guys that attack women, they deserve any pain they get....

[Zro0000]

now women self defence is great...and alot of thier techniques are the best martial arts have to offer when it comes to effectiveness...but some of the techniques i have a hard time believing in i am a bjj practioner and bjj to me is the most effective art especially for women...but this is great i think all females should learn something like this

[Ichliebemusikundybd]

I love this woman, she's a true inspiration to ALL women. Now this is the real deal! Keep up the good work, lady : )

[sweeeeetey]

I'm really so sick of that shit can't going everywhere I want when I want just cause I couldn't defend myself -.-

I so need to learn this..

BTW she's the real life wonderwoman xD

[kim444]

YEAH!!! KNEE EM GOOD AND DEEP!

[IPresentMyself123]

Before I saw her Fierce and Female dvd, I was unsure of what I would truly do in a panic situation. Now I know how to kick ass and it just plain feels good. Thank you Dr Ruthless!

[Emberville]

I don't like to talk about it, but when I was assulted, my assailant and I both ended up in the ER. In the end, I had a couple stiches to the forehead... he on the other hand, well, you'd be amazed how much damage a french manicure can do. I didn't know I had it in me :)

It's ALL about the explosion. Humans are animals with visceral survival instincts regardless of size, or gender.

[selkiesidhe]

Wow... Seeing that tiny little woman lay those guys out. There's no doubt in my mind she couldnt do just that in a real life or death situation. Now THIS is the kind of self-def videos women everywhere need to be ordering!!!

[teamdq1]

I have been in martial arts for over 15 years. I have watched all the so called self defense videos on you tube. This is the real deal. I agree with it all Women looking for real self defense i would recommend this dvd... It is about time someone on you tube put some power into the attacks and the attacked fights with attacks and power... Great job.. I hope women will see this video ... The person attacking will attack full contact you can only react with full power and full contact.. good job

[kawaigurl808]

I ordered her Fierce and Female DVD, can't wait to view it.

[jujitsoka32]

this is really awesome, it`s really good such things that you`ve taugth to women and empowered against agressive men keep it up...!!!!! well dr ruthless i`d like be your friend and share some soda but not ending like your dummy target hehehe. javier from argentina

[perezrm001]

omg imagine a man attacking her in real life. DAMN!

knowing self defense is very empowering

[uuutheuuu]

Geez...a lot of men instructors could learn a few things from this video. Street self defense is ALL about explosiveness.

[peterbf91]

i have to say very very good.

But 1 thing, this is coming from years of karate, when a man gets hit in the nuts he does not just lay down, he gets mad and then he will really want to hurt you, for me going for the nuts is a no no, and if u think it works thats fine, but iv seen it make matter worse than it should have, but its up 2 u.

[youtuber86]

That makes no sense at all to me. So you're saying it's ok to fight back against a guy who's trying to attack/rape a woman, but don't hit his balls, cuz then he's really gonna want to hurt you?

I would think in that situation, it'd be ideal if a woman could deal out maximum damage in the shortest amount of time to protect herself against an assailant. Shit, eye gouge, groin kicking, biting, slashing with keys, whatever.

[logistics2pratik]

go for the nuts, then follow through while the attacker is stunned for a at least a couple of seconds. hit his neck, face, hit his groin again. the key in all fights is always follow through after the first hit you get in.

[countryisthelife]

I would have to agree, if you don't kick a guy in the nuts the right way to cause the most amount of pain, they will just get really pissed off.

[gavinsstuff]

ermmmm as a man i can say getting kicked in the nuts practically paralizes you for about 30 secs . i dont have a clue what your balls are made of.... titanium?

[AmericanMan2525]

As a man watching these videos it made me cringe... those nut shots hurt soo much... brings back memories of being in elementary school and getting hit in the nuts being curled up into a ball on the ground. It hurts soo much that it actually feels like time slows down.

[bfchandler]

Great stuff--we need to help fight the war on crime!

[sigmacombatsystems]

Great stuff would love to see more. Keep it up. I'm fixing to hold a free women's self defense seminar here in Arkansas, any suggestions or tips?

[twomells]

lol kicked his ass

[iandemagii]

How about 380 semi auto instead?

[FatalFighterMMA]

Maybe if you could carry it loaded and ready at all times. I wouldn't want to dig through a purse full of crap to locate a gun.

[AmericanMan2525]

carry around a steel pen and stick it in the attackers throat or eye if attacked.

[dio777777]

Of course you would carry it loaded and ready at all times. Any other way is irresponsible and foolish. A loaded gun should be holstered and not in a purse.

There isn't a one size fits all solution. In many situations martial arts will only go so far. Multiple attackers, weapons, or just plain bad luck can place the martial artist in a world of trouble.

The same holds true for someone defending themselves with a weapon. Sadly, you need to know it all.

BTW, this video is great.

[phoenixhoneybee]

absolutely incredible!

[xxMrsEdwardCullenxx]

bam! powned all!

[buldgingballs]

What a crazy ballbusting bitch!

[elpikas]

2:11 i think it's called the nut breaker

[EMOhairSTYLE]

Awesome Thanks Ruthless!!

[TFWC88]

This video should be shown in every country, every nation on TV, in magazines, and additionally, there should be a class for women in school showing this video, especially in 3rd world countries. Think about northern Afghanistan. Recent news said a 12-yr old girl was gang-raped there. This must me no more!

[triax487]

wow

[feedmecoolshit]

yep bite, kick, slap, punch, bite, eye gouge bite, rip, slap, kick... nice

[Bomboss]

THat was awesome. THere are such few good female self-defense instructurs out there that it was great to see something like this.

GO HUNTRESSES! RIP THEIR BALLS OFF!

[MidnightAngel92]

why dont they make it a law or atleast an option for every women to learn things like this? I mean im 15 and i think it would come in handy ALOT. they should teach it at schools too. this would really help reduce all those rapes and murders. hehe WOW great job Dr. Ruthless!

[SmileyCrossbones]

yes, this should be taught in schools

[sdawson689]

i love this woman, your awesome.

[streetninja81]

God I would hate to be any of those guys!! Also somehow when she yells out the targets it reminds me of someone scolding a dog.

[Reysinhell]

Is this a Klingon mating video?

[izzie889]

she's so petite but she can kick some ass! An inspiration to all women!

[whiteboyslim]

Great stuff. Every woman should see this stuff.

[lessavit]

Do you think the Uke got paid well? lol

I gotta admit, coming from a blokes point of view and being a martial artist... i can safely say, every place this women hits HURTS!!!!

[mchad17]

waouh, she's great!

[core1065]

Great video, all the MMA classes ive been in, ive seen that women are just as strong and aggressive, in most cases more so,then any man. a lot of the abuse against women wont stop until many women realize the unlimited power and strength that lays within themselves. amazing job Dr. Ruthless on showing many women the strength within.

[Fragem420]

Thanks even skinny men can learn from this video. All too often skinny men are bullied, this will put the bullies or muggers in their place.

[Fragem420]

Did I see a little Jason bourne in these attacks?

[vermuchosvideos]

love her

[SmileyCrossbones]

Love the knee to the face at 1:43! I like the parts where both people are in street clothes - it really brings it home that attacks can happen anywhere. Great site and articles too.

I did 9hrs of padded attacker training at Kidpower in New Zealand. When I visit the USA I'd like to do more.

[SmileyCrossbones]

Great stuff!

[rabiared]

Dear Friends & Supporters,

Melissa Soalt AKA Dr. Ruthless here. I've been nominated by Black Belt Magazine for BEST women's program, and I would LOVE your vote! Please go to Black Belt Magazine's web site and look for voting / polling page. I'm the 4th category down under women's seminars. Thank you for your continued support!

[muridsilat]

I bought the Fierce & Female DVDs for my wife after seeing the YouTube clips. Despite 25 yrs of martial arts experience, I couldn't find one fault with the videos. These are all the same tools that we use in Silat when it's time to stop dancing and start kicking butt!! Great stuff!

[XXPaniintodustXX]

Just the point... most aggressors are way too surprised if a woman fights back with self-confidence! This woman is incredible, 5 stars!

[balletman]

There's a lot of good information here. The emphasis on live sparring against a resisting opponent is crucial.

[Blademasta989]

Exactly!! Finally. You have to have a partner that doesn't stop as soon as they hit you. It's critical for the partner to give up only after you have hit them hard enough and accurately enough for the attack to drop you. That means full force kicks to (hopefully) protected genitals, and hard, well aimed punches, to nonlethal areas. So instead of going for the throat, like you should in a real situation, hit the collarbone or chest. but hit it -/hard\-.

[mysticmee]

[scottrchick]

This woman is incredible!

[Slashtap3]

You can use your heels to your advantage. Stomping power :)

[iksd01]

For more Woman self defense

[boulderjew32]

i love this woman. she is fierce. i read her fight back articeles but this is the first time i saw her. i'm very impressed. she gets what it takes and i like that she keeps it simple and that she goes straight in when she attacks. all women should see this and learn it.

[hongsingx]

great video

i like the way you teach , direct and

effective, without non-sense action.

aggressive ,very effective self defence

program , i should say !!!!

i give it a 5 star rating.

[pezrojodorado]

great , I hope in Mexico where a lot o more self protection classes or curses.

[docsavage20]

It seems there's a "victim mentality" - they don't act because they don't realize what they're capable of, or what they would be capable of if they'd take the time to train and strengthen their bodies and minds. I like the message that the aggressor isn't the only one capable of taking action.

I can't help but think that some like poor Dru Sjodin or Carlie Brucia might be alive today if they hadn't capitulated so readily to their attackers.

[docsavage20]

Bravo.

I abhor non-sport violence but it's an unfortunate reality that there are criminals and predatory lowlifes in the world to whom living with respect for others is a foreign concept. Unfortunately, the aggressive, take-charge mindset you preach also seems to be foreign to many women.

-cont'd-

[wmpyr]

I like how she yells out the target as she hits them, in an intense situation, it makes you foucs on the task at hand rather than thinking about negative mumbo jumbo in your mind. Self-doubt and surrendering likes to come in every chance it gets.

[Alias9400]

Dr. Ruthless teaches how Self Defense should be a priority in every woman's life!!! A MUST!

[writeguy73]

Ma'am. I am former paramedic, reserve deputy (tactical EMS, and nightclub bouncer. I am also a black belt in Kempo, a brown belt in Judo, and a boxing coach. You are great! I want my wife and nieces to take your class. Do they offer it in OK?

[miracle1717]

Distribute to all high schools and universities -- women need to KNOW their power.

[uberschaller]

that's how you fight!

[robertredbeard]

I like the fact that you focus on attitude.

Skill does little without attitude.

Suprise, Skill and Shock! Become the Attacker! Be Victorious!

[matthewcagefighter]

this would all work. top notch fighting skills.

[maugustyniak]

This is so very true. You have to pummel a larger opponent! But what to do about aggressive midgets though? Hehehe.

[mmutb57]

No nonsense. Right to the point. Women of all ages should take her class.

[darla007]

Powerful visuals and teaching, great attacking attitude, no fluff. Dr. Ruthless says it like it is. The thing she makes clear is that you are the weapon. This is great.
