Women's Pressure Point Self
Defense Options
Women's Pressure Point Self Defense Options is an informative DVD
that contains over three hours of
instruction for women in the use of pressure points.
The techniques demonstrated on the DVD are designed to be easy-to-learn,
practical,
and effective
against common attacks perpetrated against women.
All the video footage on the DVD was digitally recorded during
a four day, 8 hour Women's Pressure Point Self Defense Options Seminar
that David Rhodes conducted in Bloomington, Indiana, in February
and March, 2002. The 8 hours of digital video footage was then edited
and condensed to provide over three hours of instruction.
A few of the topics covered:
- Self defense principles
- What pressure points are
- Location of pressure points in the face, arms, torso, legs and
feet
- Body mechanics
- The importance of balance and stance
- Finger locks
- How to escape specific attacks: bear hugs, grabs, chokes...
- Self defense on the ground
- Multiple attack situations
- Legal Issues - presented by a former deputy prosecutor who specialized
in domestic violence cases
- The Survival Mindset
