Sunbury, PA (PRWEB) March 26, 2005 -- Self-protection and women's safety expert Jeffrey M. Miller will be presenting two powerful workshops on the subject of women's safety at Warrior Concepts International on Saturday, April 2nd, 2005. From 1 to 4pm, Miller and his staff will offer concerned women the opportunity to do something about informing and protecting themselves against rape, sexual assault, and domestic violence. Through personal interviews, as-well-as free self-defense clinics on rape prevention and basic self defense, women will be able to take action to prevent these dangers from touching them.
Miller, a former federal police officer, private investigator, and bodyguard, says the number of women and teen girls that are affected by violent attacks, both sexual and not, is astounding. Citing recent reports published by the FBI and other crime prevention organizations, Miller says that one-in-three women will be victims of rape in her lifetime. In addition to this, fully one-in-four college girls are sexually assaulted while they're in school; and half of these occur during the coed's freshman year. "That's double what it was just a decade ago," says Miller.
The open house, sponsored by Warrior Concepts International, located at 362 Market Street in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, is just one of an ongoing series of events designed to enlighten and increase awareness, not only about how to prevent and escape from danger, but also to inform the public about the true nature and types of attacks that are common today. Miller, a 9th degree Black Belt in the Japanese martial art of ninjutsu and creator of the EDR: Non-Martial Art Defensive Training Program, says, "One of the biggest problems facing women today, aside from the actual danger itself, is the lack of real-world experience in the self-defense industry." Due to his experience and focus on knowing the problem before trying to apply a solution, Miller says that, while there are some very good teachers out there, most so-called women's self-defense experts can be divided into two general groups.
The first is made up of the "tough-guy" fighter-types. This group consists of sport martial artists, brawlers, boxers, and the like. "These experts probably have lots of experience," says Miller, "but, that experience is usually of the sport competition or barroom brawl variety. Miller makes a clear differentiation between a fight between two willing "contestants" and a self-protection situation where one person is, not only unwilling but often outnumbered or at a disadvantage.
The second group that Miller and his staff have identified is made up of those who believe that there is no difference between men and women when it comes to self-defense. "Many in this group," says Miller, "are feminists who resent even the implication that women would or could be placed in a different category from men." Continues Miller, "This is not about women's lib or any other such thing. It's about reality. And the reality of the world, especially when it comes to not beeing a victim in today's often violent world is that, men and women are typically attacked in very different ways." Miller says that, while men are usually attacked with punches, kicks, and assaults designed to "destroy," women are most likely to be slapped, pinned, or grabbed in a way that serves to "conquer" and "dominate." Combine this with the physiological differences between a female target and the average male assailant, including but not limited to a strength-ratio of 7 to 3, and it become painfully obvious that women have very particular needs and concerns when learning to defend themselves in a potentially life-threatening encounter with a larger, stronger, and more determined male attacker. "And, admits Miller, "although there are the occasions where the opposite is true, it's certainly not the rule."
He says that's why he conducts these events and teaches the way he does. "In Today's world," concludes this 42 year old with three daughters and two granddaughters, "people - women especially - need real-word solutions to real-word problems, not game-playing just to make them feel good."
