Self Defense for Badass Women: Strike to Injure and Escape
What you'll learn
- Toss a 225 lb. attacker on his ass for trying to put his hands on you. Send a clear message that you are a dangerous liability.
- Understand and use threat analysis, and let your attacker know you will not go down without a fight! You have an 80% chance of surviving and escaping an assault if you resist your attacker verbally and physically.
- Learn close quarter combat and escape some of the most common attacks used on women. Leave your attacker blind, or even dead.
- Throw a man 2x your size off of you from a mounted (rape) position and stomp his face out while you make a run for it.
- Learn how to fend off multiple attackers and position yourself to an advantage while you rail brutal knee strikes into the attackers face.
- Fight to end the fight. Learn how to strike to injure, debilitate, and ultimately be completely ruthless in your defense tactics.
- Learn how to dissipate and minimize a dangerous situation from escalating, BUT also know how to play the same mind games predators use on their victims. Know the "Dark Triad" and make certain your attacker becomes the "fool".
- Get access to badass conditioning regimes that will make you a ridiculously tough target.
Requirements
- Make sure you wear comfortable clothes and are in a safe open space before starting class.

Coach Elle Beyer (Miss Elle) has been teaching and sharing her methods of fighting and fending off bigger and multiple attackers for over 10 years. The harsh reality is that women are preyed upon generally by men who are physically stronger or have prepared to have a physical advantage. Almost all self defense systems on the market are designed by men, who have no idea what it's like to be tackled by someone 2x their size with 10% more muscle mass. Elle has escaped attempted kidnapping and rape on two separate occasions. The first time was when she was 16 years old, she was followed by a man who attempted to kidnap her in a Walmart parking lot. The second time, while walking to work, a group of 5 men tried to force her into their car. A competitive athlete most of her life (including wrestling on her High School Varsity Team), she decided Martial Arts was the rightful path for her to pursue. 15 years of fight training became the catalyst for the Survival Science program, a self defense program co-created and developed by Elle, for the sole purpose of helping women and young girls escape sexual assault. After learning her home city was #2 ranked in the nation for human trafficking, she decided enough was enough. At 125 lbs, Elle understands what it's like to be physically vulnerable to larger, stronger attackers. She put her training to the literal test, by going out into public places, and taking on 230 lb MMA fighters, to find out if her techniques actually worked. You can see some of her field testing videos in this series.
