Frequently
Asked Questions
What
Makes
FASTDefense
Different From other Self-Defense Courses?
FAST
Defense uses state of the art teaching methods to instruct
students in the full "spectrum" of self-defense. Participants experience an easy step by step progression of
learning and practicing awareness, de-escalation, and finally
physical defense skills. This system is a compilation of Olympic
Coaching techniques, Sports Psychology, Group Dynamics and Team
Building, Verbal Boundary setting, and Martial Arts techniques. Together, these various methods combine to form the most effective
Self Defense and Empowerment program in existence, highly endorsed
by Various Crime experts, Law Enforcement and Rape Crisis
agencies, Schools and Businesses across America.
Who Takes
FASTDefense?
Worldwide,
women, men, teens and children from ages 6 to 74, from all walks
of life, with varying degrees of physical capabilities have
successfully completed the various FAST Defense courses. Many take the course for preventive measures, and many others for
a therapeutic journey of "rewriting" a previous
victimization.
Since rape crisis centers and law enforcement
agencies estimate that one woman in three, and one man in six will
be assaulted in their lifetime, the issue of violence has
devastating long term consequences. The continual threat of
assault and harassment affects the way most of us live our lives.
Quality of life and freedom are limited by fear. The real impact
of FAST Defense is the empowerment of the student who, by truly
knowing how to protect themselves, find freedom from this fear.
How Does
FASTDefense
Help Someone Who Has Already Been A Victim Of Assault?
This
course has been recommended by psychologists and therapists
nationwide to survivors of physical and sexual abuse. For many,
the experience is life-changing, as the label of
"Victim" is worked through and left behind. The highly
trained instructor team, with their extensive experience in group
facilitation, martial arts, and counseling, work as a team to
provide a safe and supportive environment to help students regain
freedom and confidence.
Does
FASTDefense
Really Work?
Yes!
Virtually hundreds of graduates have reported using FAST
Defense to successfully escape dangerous situations. Students
also experience increased confidence and assertiveness in all
aspects of their lives. In situations where physical defense was
necessary, the overwhelming majority resulted in successful
defense against the attacker. Most importantly, thousands of graduates
have deterred attackers with the FAST Defense verbal skills
alone.
This
program is enthusiastically endorsed by a number of authorities,
including rape crisis counselors, psychologists, martial arts
masters, and law enforcement experts.
According to Carmel Police
Dept. Don Fuselier, a police academy instructor on sexual assault: "This is the only self-defense program I can
recommend, and one that I believe will help end the cycle of
violence that so adversely affects our society. The physical
training, techniques, philosophy, group and individual support
give students outstanding tools that they can elect to use if
confronted by an attacker. The program gives (those) involved a
strong sense of their own power and the ability to protect
themselves from harm."
