Beyond “Common Sense” Self-Defense                              

                                  Awareness – Avoidance – Escape - Self-defense

Now you can become a Certified Women's Self-Defense Instructor

 

Instructors, educators, activists and concerned citizens from around the world have all become certified instructors. They want to learn how to teach the system and they want to be able to offer it to their students and communities.

The current network of certified instructors is spreading the word and educating women in support of our mission: Prevent and combat sexual assault and violence against women.

If we can save one female, we will have had a measure of success. Instructor certification courses take you through exactly how to teach the course and how to avoid damaging pitfalls with this highly sensitive subject matter.

 

 

The demand for this program has been increasing dramatically. We get requests from all over for classes and we just can’t keep up. Current instructors are providing classes for schools, groups and students all over North America, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Asia and Brazil. Publicity on the program has been picked up from California to New York. More women are searching for realistic and effective women's self-defense programs and they are discovering Rape Escape in classes, on the Web and from the popular DVD series. We want to help women get the knowledge they need in today’s world. And that’s where you come in.

Become a certified instructor. You get a proven curriculum that is easy and quick to pick up. Women in your community get the knowledge and training that they desperately want and need.

You ultimately run the classes the way you want. You can choose to donate your time and expertise to your community or you can keep any money you charge for your classes. You also get national marketing and publicity to develop awareness of the program. You get an established Internet presence to push referrals to your classes.

In return, Defend University gets the support it needs to spread self-defense knowledge to as many women and girls as possible.

As a certified Women's Self-Defense instructor, you get:
 
Inside access and association with a successful program and curriculum that is proven.Listing on Rape Escape.com (and the new womensdefense.org site) with instructor profile and photo.

As a certified instructor, you’ll have the credentials you need to teach women’s self-defense classes for community groups, churches, women’s groups, women’s trade associations, commercial fitness centers and schools.

Our new Women's Empowerment Series gives you more choices for what you want to teach.  Now there are four different modules:
  • Fight Like a Girl
  • Girls on Guard
  • Defending Against Weapons
  • Weapons for Women

Our new and improved versions give you -- as an instructor -- more courses to market.  Each module emphasizes a different aspect of women's self-defense, giving you the option to reach different markets and different interest areas.The cost for for each module (not including meals or accommodations) is only $295.00. This low cost can realistically be recaptured by giving one class!  Think about it, if you have 10 students and charge only $30 per student, you've already paid for your course. To ensure continued quality, instructors are required to recertify every two years at half the cost of the initial certification.  Instructors are able to attend any refresher course for no charge between their recertifications.If it's so low, why charge at all?  Actually, when we first began certifying instructors, I gave away the course.  Literally.  I invited people who I thought would be good instructors and I did not charge them anything.  In fact, for some of these instructors I also gave them free copies of the Rape Escape instructional video tape series. This was all done to support our mission of combating violence against women. Some of these instructors have gone on to be quite successful and active.  Most others, quite frankly, have not done anything with the program.  It's an interesting aspect of human psychology -- we value what we pay for.    Course is Life Changing

Here is your chance to really give back to your community by offering a valuable, and valued, service. Your involvement in this program is life-changing – for you as well as your students.   You'll find the network of instructors is very, very supportive.  All of us have a similar mission, some say it's their "calling".  The course is full of friendly, supportive instructors.  We are all working to make our communities better, so you'll have plenty of like-minded people to work with.  And we all have time to trade ideas and tips for starting your program.You'll find the courses immensely interesting as we delve into the challenges and opportunities of teaching the non-martial artist female a method of self-defense which realistically allows them to defend themselves against a male attacker.
