The three pinnacles that the program offers is awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance. Once these principles have failed, the program uses a hands-on system of protection. The program is designed to give women the choice of how to act and how to implement pre-rape behavior which will give the woman a tool box of options in which she could choose from. The Taser can not harm muscles, nerves or the heart. There has been no Taser related deaths to date. It is still the best women's defense method out there. Remember a Taser is not a stun gun. The stun gun is a devise that passes electricity between to probes. You actually have to be at arms reach of the attacker to use a stun gun. They are more likely to go after long hair than a woman in short hair. The long hair is easier to grab and use to cause pain and to direct the rest of the woman's body where the assailant wants it to go. What you are doing can also zero you as a target. A woman walking done the street talking in her cell phone and digging through her pocket book is not really paying attention to what is going on around her. Your voice is the most effective weapon. Scream and scream loud. Use a whistle or other noise maker to draw attention to yourself and your situation. If some one grabs you and you are not that strong, you can outwit your opponent. If they grab your arm, push in the direction that they are pulling. This will cause your attacker to be off balance and you can use your weight to make him even more unbalanced. Most young girls that are raped also have to have psychological guidance to help them understand the trauma that they have went through. Some women's self defense instructors' work closely with these psychologist and some classes are even taught with the counselor as part of the class. The young girls who have had this done to them need to know they are not alone and that they have trust worthy adults in their life that cares for them. The sooner your start screaming the sooner the assailant will run if he is inclined to. The advice of women's self defense experts also reports that you should run and scream at the same time. Not only are you distancing yourself from the attacker you are also giving the range of your voice to travel more distance.
