I am a former military officer with 25 years training in various martial arts. But the best women's self defense course I have ever seen had nothing to do with anything I ever learned or taught. It is program called "Model Mugging" or "Impact Self Defense" that my wife went through. It is a course where women are "attacked" by instructors in padded suits. The attacks are realistic. The instructors scream obscenities at the participants and attack with force. The women defend full contact and do it again until they get it right. However, participant safety is observed. The emotional training is excellent also. The women get over the emotional aspect by experiencing and pushing through it. Have you had experience with courses like this? What do you think of them?
