Editorial Reviews

Even the fear of sexual assault can be enough to paralyze the strongest of women. In a society where rapes occur with alarming frequency, it is vital to know not only how to avoid a sexual attack, but also what a woman can and must do when everything else has failed, leaving you face-to-face with a predator who has only one thing on his mind: the violation of your mind, body and spirit. This original Paladin video production is designed to pick up where other women's self-defense videos leave off - when you're already in a compromised position and nothing else will do except a quick, decisive counterattack. Presented by women's self-defense expert Melissa Soalt, these gritty, no-holds-barred videos provide a comprehensive, instructional rape defense program that teaches you exactly what to do, as well as what never to do during both standing self-defense situations and attacks on the ground. Using realistic scenarios and full-force demonstrations on padded attackers, this program will give any woman the knowledge she needs to keep herself safe, confident and secure.

5.0 out of 5 stars This video is a must have...., November 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fierce And Female: Practical Rape Defense Tactics For Every Woman [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you are serious about Women's'self-defense this video is a must have.
Melissa Salt's instruction begins where other videos leave off. She first provides solid instruction on how to strike and where to strike. Melissa shows the average women that she can defend her self without fancy techniques. She gives you great instruction on how to defeat a rapist, her techniques are nasty and dirty but that is what you to teach women to be successful against a street encounter. I like the full force demonstrations on the padded attacker; it shows how much power can be generated when you use proper technique. The realistic attack situations make this video come to life.

If you are serious about learning solid self-defense techniques then this video is for you. This video is also a fine gift for any women to make her feel confident.

This review is from: FIERCE AND FEMALE - Practical Rape Defense Tactics for Every Woman (DVD)

I have about 15 years of experience in martial arts - I am defenitely not any kind of expert, but I know first hand what does and does not work in a street fight/self defense situation. This DVD is literally the only one I have seen that does NOT teach worthless theory, sparring techniques, or MMA (which I love) - it teaches SELF DEFENSE - there is a major difference!!! It is also taught by a woman and that is very important, because it is a self defense DVD for women. However, anyone can benefit from these practical self defense techniques: men, women, or children. It is the only DVD for women's self defense that I have seen that I would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent self-defense for women video set by Milissa Soalt., January 21, 2010

This review is from: Fierce And Female: Practical Rape Defense Tactics For Every Woman [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As a reviewer I have seen quite a few women's self-defense books and videos. This set is one of the best rape defense videos that has ever been produced. Milissa Soalt not only shows the techniques and tactics needed to successfully defeat an attacker, but more importantly, she demonstrates the warrior attitude required when you must defend yourself.

She explains the basic strikes and vulnerable areas of the body. She shows numerous scenarios where a woman is attacked by a man. She demonstrates each technique in an aggressive and determined way that makes it believable. In conclusion, this is a video set for all women and all martial artists who teach self-defense for women.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Persuader Defense Systems).
