Escaping Violent Encounters for Women

Rape-Aggression-Prevention-Escape-Education





Focus: Women and young ladies age 13 and up.



Length: 8-hours

The frequency of assault on our sisters, wives, mothers and daughters is alarming. Many women have anecdotal stories of how they were attacked by a person they know or a stranger. While most attacks are not life threatening, the risk of serious injury is evident and unpredictable. Women and young ladies need an effective and reasonable plan on how to avoid an attack, and also know how to defend themselves and escape once attacked. You and your female family members require a reasonable, liability-conscious, effective means of preventing and avoiding rape, abduction and assault by persons known and unknown.





Real-World Application

Our E.V.E.-4-Women™ course gives women the options needed to recognize a developing threat of assault, deflect it if possible, escape if practicable, and to defend if necessary. This non-violent system of prevention and avoidance takes a realistic approach to the subject, eschewing "idealistic" training concepts and methods providing women with concepts that work in the classroom with cooperative subjects following a script. While "easy-to-sell, feel-good" classes may appeal to many, these systems fail conclusively in the real-world. The inevitable failure of the non-realistic, idealistic training system puts lives and emotional well-being in danger.

E.V.E.-4-Women™ is a potent, effective, and ultimately practical combination of many different disciplines brought into one comprehensive training course. The curriculum is applicable in every setting, from sitting in a vehicle, being down a dark, dank hallway in the inner city, or in a state of the art building. E.V.E.-4-Women™ provides training in individual skills that every woman should know to personally avoid assault--especially when that woman is working, visiting or strolling in a remote location, or in an area with no other witnesses are present. This E.V.E.-4-Women™ course provides training where oral and physical deflection skills are simple and easy to remember and apply.



* E.V.E.-4-Women™ is Practical. Our system of assault avoidance and response is designed to be relevant to every member of your staff--big or small, strong or less so, male or female, trained in defense skills or not. We not only avoid fancy techniques that are forgotten before they leave the class, we just don't teach them at all. Instead, we teach women, who are some of the most vulnerable in our society, to problem-solve the situation confronting them through universal concepts of conflict resolution, deflection and recognition, and physical avoidance and escape that are available to everyone.



* E.V.E.-4-Women™ is Defensible. Women across the country face the daily prospect of assault and injury. Without training, they WILL resort to improvised methods of defense.. Their improvisation may later be found to be unrealistic, impractical or unreasonable, and sometimes even have criminal liability E.V.E.-4-Women™ provides "Assault Response Guidelines" for those instances when prevention and avoidance are just not enough.



* E.V.E.-4-Women™ is Designed to be Liability Conscious. Beyond receiving training in the limits to force, participants are trained in articulation and documentation skills that will hold up to any scrutiny in any legal or ethical venue. Sound decisions in the face of a dangerous assault by a known or unknown attacker, and the articulation skills to prove the reasonableness of those responses will reduce the liability exposure in any situation.





E.V.E.-4-Women™ is an 8-hour course covering the basic skills required by any woman when facing possible, or even imminent assault. The course content consists of:



*

Verbal skills to diffuse potentially violent encounters.
*

Pre-assault indicators. (crowd, body language, Situational Awareness)
*

Legal aspects of self-defense.
*

Mental Preparation (Survival Mindset, Understanding stress and its effects)
*

Documentation Skills (Incident Reporting)
*

Improvised Weapons (Locations and uses)
*

Assault Response Guidelines. (levels of force)
*

Escapes from standing, ground and unusual positions.
*

Easy to learn and retain "drills" to reinforce reaction timing.

Things to keep in Mind when Approaching , patient or clients.

The following is a basic check list of what you should be looking for when approaching a patient, client. I have written this with EMS/Fire, health care workers,and Social Workers in Mind. essentially anyone who needs to go into another home, place of work or unknown area during the course of the day to execute their duties can utilize this check list.
This is not exhaustive and is intended as a guide only, your awareness is your best tool.

1. Where are the patients hands ?

a. In his pockets
B behind his back
c. Is he or she holding something ?

2. What environmental and improvisational weapons are available to you and them?

a.rocks
b. bricks
c. broom handle, sticks
d. bottle or other objects in reach
e. Books or clipboard
f. Laptop
g. Hot drinks
h. water boiling on stove or in coffeepot

3. Who else is present that may interfere or intervene.

a. friends
b. relatives
c. bystanders

4. what is the condition of the terrain ?
a. slippery or uneven
b. rocks or loose gravel
c. Muddy
d. Icy or wet
e. cobblestone or brick
f. curbs or bumps in sidewalk

This is part of your scene survey and should become second nature to you.

Highlights from last Years Instructor Course

Situational Awareness for Everyone.

Situational Awareness for Everyone.
The first step in any good Self defense program is Situational Awareness.
Situational Awareness: is to properly observe your surroundings, identify danger and understand your options for escape or to fight.. Noting weapons , improvised and environmental as well as personal strengths and weaknesses.


Without it, you won’t be able protect yourself. You may not even see the danger coming until it is too late to react. Being a target is not the same as being a victim.

The acronym SAFE stands for Situational Awareness For Everyone and the course goes far beyond mere self-defense training. We do this
by teaching principle based skills that can be used every day to prevent becoming
involved in violent and aggressive situations. If one is attacked we give them the skills to evade and to protect themselves . Not only from the assailant but also in the court room and in the media.

Basic Front Choke Defense

This basic choke defense is easy and can be applied by anyone.
Some points to remember , this is not a strike the notch of the hands are placed on the wrists as close to the attackers hands as possible.

Press outward while simultaneously moving entire body back in one motion. We are creating space and then moving to the vacuum.

You may target seek at anytime, find the opportunity and apply what you know. The video clip is an example of target seeking to kotegaeshi or outer wrist twist.

Defensive tactics for EMS and Escaping Violent Encounters for EMS and Fire

Soon I will be offering Defensive tactics for EMS and Escaping Violent Encounters for EMS and Fire in Lawrence Kansas.

Focus: Paramedics, EMTs, ER staff.


Length: 16-hours

There is a widely recognized but little acknowledged problem threatening emergency medical service personnel: injury through assault. The frequency of assault on our EMS providers is alarming. Many EMS providers have anecdotal stories of how they were attacked by a violent patient, an angry bystander or upset family member. While most attacks are not life threatening, the risks of serious injury is evident and unpredictable. EMS providers need an effective and reasonable plan on how to avoid an attack, and also know how to defend themselves once attacked. Your emergency medical services staff requires a reasonable, liability-conscious, effective means of preventing and avoiding assault by patients, their family or bystanders.




Real-World Application

Our DT4EMS™ courses give the EMS provider the options needed to recognize a developing threat of assault, deflect it if possible, escape if practicable, and to defend if necessary. This non-violent system of prevention and avoidance takes a realistic approach to the subject, eschewing "idealistic" training concepts and methods providing your practitioner with concepts that work in the classroom with cooperative subjects following a script. While "easy-to-sell, feel-good" classes may appeal to many, these systems fail conclusively in the real-world where crisis creates rage, diabetic reaction overcomes reason, the mentally disabled act upon their delusions, those under the influence act with superhuman strength, and the career criminal lashes out at first responders and ER personnel even as they are engaged in life-saving efforts. The inevitable failures of the non-realistic, idealistic training system puts careers at risk and creates liability when your employee attempts the trained-for methods but founders, leaving no alternative other than to go "primitive" in a bid to survive uninjured. The common advice to many EMTs in the back of an ambulance to "hit 'em with the O2 bottle" is something that this training will help to prevent.

DT4EMS™ is a potent, effective, and ultimately practical combination of many different disciplines brought into one comprehensive training course. The curriculum is applicable in every medical setting, from the back of an ambulance speeding at 60 mph, down a dark, dank hallway in the inner city, or in a state of the art E.R. Rather than take a “multi-member team approach," DT4EMS™ provides training in individual skills that every EMS provider should know to personally avoid assault--especially when that paramedic or EMT is working in a remote location with only his or her partner present.. This course provides training where oral and physical deflection skills are simple and easy to remember and apply. Why?



* DT4EMS™ is Practical. Our system of assault avoidance and response is designed to be relevant to every member of your staff--big or small, strong or less so, male or female, trained in defense skills or not. We not only avoid fancy techniques that are forgotten before they leave the class, we just don't teach them at all. Instead, we teach your personnel, who are some of the finest "problem-solvers" in our society, to problem-solve the situation confronting them through universal concepts of conflict resolution, deflection and recognition, and physical avoidance and escape that are available to everyone.



* DT4EMS™ is Defensible. Your personnel face the daily prospect of assault and injury. Without training, they WILL resort to improvised methods of defense and restraint. Their improvisation may later be found to be unreasonable, and sometimes even have criminal liability. Additionally, as their employer, your agency or company may be subject to huge civil liability exposure as a result of their actions. DT4EMS™ provides "Force Response Guidelines" for those instances when prevention and avoidance are just not enough.



* DT4EMS™ is Designed to be Liability Conscious. Beyond receiving training in the limits to force and restraint by EMS personnel, participants are trained in articulation and documentation skills that will hold up to any scrutiny in any legal or ethical venue. Sound decisions in the face of a dangerous assault by a patient, and the articulation skills to prove the reasonableness of those responses will reduce the liability exposure in any situation.



DT4EMS™ 1 is an 16-hour course covering the basic skills required by any EMS responder or provider when facing possible, or even imminent assault. The course content consists of:



* Dispatch-to-scene indicators. (Pre- Arrival)
* Verbal skills to diffuse potentially violent encounters.
* Arrival-scene indicators. (Safe ambulance parking, entrance/exit plan)
* Pre-assault indicators. (crowd, body language, scene survey)
* The 5 D's (Drugged, Domestic, Diabetic, Deranged, Drunk) What to look for in each.
* Legal aspects of self-defense.
* Legal aspects of patient restraint.
* Mental Preparation (Survival Mindset, Understanding stress and it's effects)
* Documentation Skills (Using the DT4EMS Assault Response Form)
* Courtroom Demeanor
* Good Customer Service
* Assault Response Guidelines. (levels of force)
* Assault Response Problem-Solving.
* Physical Fitness in EMS (Exercise and Diet tips)
* Escapes from standing, ground and unusual positions
* Easy to learn and retain "drills" to reinforce reaction timing
