The Truth about womens self-defense
Look ladies Most of what you have read or been told about women's self defense is a LIE! Did you know that most of what is taught in Women's Self Defense Seminars is all but useless in a real life attack? Teaching you Techniques that are are not gross motor skill. 99% of the Women's Self Defense videos teach techniques that would never work on the street!

I have over 37 years of experience and teaching martial arts I can tell you beyond any doubt that most of what is being taught today in martial arts schools, women's self-defense seminars and videos... just won't work in a real attack! IF you have read any of the other pages on this website you know where I am going with this. IF not well here we go.

So what is wrong with most traditional training?
Nothing actually is just that most IF not all traditional training do not teach Resistance training or anxiety or stress induced scenarios.
Why is that imperative?
The natural effect of real aggression causes what is called an "adrenaline dump". This fear induced high volume shot of adrenaline is normal and natural and cannot be stopped, even by experienced black belts. It just the way the body reacts. The effects of this "adrenaline dump" can be devastating, especially if you are not prepared for it.The main problem is that many of the techniques that are taught in traditional women's self defense training are too tricky or too complicated for the average person to properly execute. This is especially true under the duress of an all out street attack.Techniques that are highly complicated tend not to be executed properly, if at all, when the pressure is on and adrenaline levels are high.
Techniques taught not designed for women.
A great number of the techniques taught were not designed especially for women. They require too much upper body strength.The rest of what the taught is just fluff. It will not help you in a real street attack.
What Does Work and why?
D.G.C.F.S. has a solution to be effective in a street attack. Women are not as strong as men normal and lack upper body strength.
Mr.& Mrs.Traylor along with Mr.Castandiello has designed a proram V.E.D.S. "Violent Encounter Defense System" to meet the challanges women face in a physically and/or sexually assaulted. Mrs.Traylor brings a unique vision and dynamics to this program, both as a women begin small and as an instructor. She understand the strength of bigger and heavier males and what will work for women in a physically and/or sexually assaulted.you will learn the four ranges of combat and gross motor skill as well as weapons that are 'legal to carry"
Criteria for street efficiency
It has to address the inevitable "adrenaline dump" which is the natural effect of fear induced aggression and the
FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE.
It had to be simple enough to teach women in days or weeks instead of years!
It had to be effective regardless of the body type of the attacker. "sizie does matter to some degree"
It had to be quick, effective and decisive! No B.S.
It had to address real street situations and sexual assault instead of the typical studio environment.
It had to teach verbal and physical boundry setting skills as research has shown many physical confrontations can be avoided. "be aware of your surrounding"
It had to be easy to learn.
It had to take into consideration that women are weaker and have less upper body strength than men.
If you have taken women's self-defense / rape prevention seminars that DID NOT TOUCH on street efficiency or these criteria then maybe you need to rethink what you think you know about self-defense. This class will also cover weapons such as a Koppo stick or the Kubotan stick "they fit on your key chain" small to fit in the palm of your hand. legal to carry
