Defenses Against Rapes - Background Information "How to deal with Muggings and Sexual Assaults" "Consistent study results show that forceful and immediate resistance strategies are successful

and do not necessarily lead to greater injuries".

Dr. Judith Lewis Herman Trauma and Recovery " The women who remained calm, used many active strategies, and fought to the best of their ability were not only more likely to be successful in thwarting the rape attempt, but also less likely to suffer severe distress symptoms even if their efforts ultimately failed. “ "By contrast the women who were immobilized by terror and submitted without a struggle were more likely to be raped, but also to be highly self-critical and depressed in the aftermath." "Women's general high sociability, however, was often a liability rather than an asset during a rape attempt. Many women tried to appeal to the humanity of the rapist, or to establish some form of empathic connection with him. These efforts were almost universally futile." "Injuries that women sustained were the results of the rapists initial blows and strikes, but not a result of their resistance strategies" Sara Ohlman, University of Chicago. If you choose not to defend yourself, let it be because you have assessed the situation and decided that it is far too dangerous to defend yourself, not because you do not know how to or you think that you shouldn't.

This is not a cooking class. We are going to talk about things that are unpleasant. Muggings and more specifically sexual assaults are distasteful subjects, but being squeamish or pretending that nothing can ever happen is the best way to assure that you will be totally defenseless and unprepared, if it does happen to you. Rape and the Heimlich maneuver Question: "Do you know how to save your child or a brother or a sister when they are choking? Do you know how to use the Heimlich maneuver? Wouldn't it be a good idea to learn that so you could help a child if he/she were choking? Would you be willing to spend some time to know how to do that? "If you would be willing to learn something to save a child's life, why not learn something to save your own?



A Summary: How to deal with "Close Encounters of the Wrong Kind" o Examine your attitude, and learn to be your own bodyguard, protector,

Lioness. o Do not protect your attacker; instead protect your family and loved ones. o Think how would affect your parents, husband, boyfriend or children if you are:

Maimed Raped Killed

o Open your mind to the necessity of applying pain and/or injury so that you can

return safely to your loved ones. o Get rid of cultural conditioning that isn’t designed for dealing with violent

attacks, such as worrying about being rude or hurting anyone, or feeling silly. Ask yourself if the deer running from a wolf is worrying about the wolf’s feelings.

o You are not responsible for what happens to a violent felon who is attempting

to rape or murder you. o Co-operation probably will not work. Co-operating with a Rapist = Rape. Co-operating with a Rapist-Murderer = Rape and Death. You have to make your own decisions about the threat you are facing. o If you want to feel guilty about hurting them afterwards, even though you have

no objective reason to do so…that's OK, just be there to indulge yourself. o Stun, Smash, Bite, Gouge, Blind, Disembowel, Maim, Cripple, Castrate, Kill

Him/Them, but live yourself. If it were your sister or mother or daughter, you would be a Lioness. Be one for yourself!

o Set this as a Trigger = Any unwanted touch or invasion of your personal space

should be interpreted as an Attack, If it occurs after you have made clear that you do not want to be bothered.



You can deal with any Sexual Assault Scenario - Rape and Oral Rape in a variety of attack scenarios:

Grabbed from Front,

Grabbed from Behind,

Picked up

Pinned Upright against a wall, Pinned On your Back,

Pinned On your Stomach

Forced to Kneel

On Hands and Knees

In bed

At the Beach

Dragged by Feet,

Dragged by Hair

Ligature around Neck As long as you do whatever it takes to get free and go home alive!



Mental Aspects: Decide whether you will be a Vic-tim or a Vic-tor Worst aspect of having been attacked is Helplessness = "There was nothing I could do." You can learn what to do. You will ask these questions: Will I panic, will I be strong enough to fight him off and escape? You are capable of staying focused and defending yourself once you tap into the instinctive emotional center of yourself. To do that you need to think about some very real issues. To answer these questions successfully: You have to accept the possibility you may be attacked. You need to get an emotional link to fighting back. You should visualize possible attacks and think through how you would handle them. Accept the possibility of an attack, then do everything you can to lower the probability of one happening to you. You can usually avoid trouble by moving away, when possible, but keep scanning, stay alert. Use assertive body language and verbal commands with any potential attacker. Build physical and mental fences. Present yourself with strong, assertive body language - timid, distracted, inattentive; weak appearances are magnets to predators. Walk confidently, head up, purposeful stride. Practice scanning from side to side, and using peripheral vision to spot potential problems before they develop. Use reflective surfaces, like windows and sides of vehicles to pick up clues to impending danger by seeing what is behind you. Listen to your fears. If nervous or uncomfortable, act on your intuition. It isn’t just a cliché to operate on the logic of “Better to be safe than sorry.” Learn to maintain your boundaries. Criminals test your boundaries with physical approaches, requests. Back up your words with body language and behavior. Use your voice as a weapon. Give commands. Yell. "Get back! No! Stop!" Escape whenever possible. Example: If he enters your car on the driver's side, you leave on passenger's side. Let him have the car. However, even with your best efforts, you might be surprised or just plain encounter a criminal who won't follow any rules. Anyone can be caught off guard. You will be interviewed for an attack. This may be silent observation as the attacker watches you and decides whether he is going to choose you based on lack of attention, timidity, and vulnerability. This may be an actual conversation or questions testing whether you are unaware compliant, frightened, submissive = an ideal victim. You want to fail on these interviews, so you will not be picked.



You will have to deal with very real physical problems when you are attacked, perhaps punched, dazed, and knocked to ground by an attacker or awakened in the middle of the night to find there is someone on top of you holding you down. What will you do to get him off of you? You will have to deal with his dominance needs and aggressive actions, not panic and then find an opening to attack him with EPR. You have to understand timing and the concept of "Fake Compliance" while he talks dirty, demeans you, yells at you, gropes you, hugs you, slaps or hits you, kisses you, tears off your clothes, and prepares to rape you. He wants to crush you with both words and his physical presence and greater size/strength. Don't let him. He wants to break your spirit, to get you to submit. If he has control over your mind, then he will gain control of your body. He may display a weapon. You need to have a plan to manage fear so you will not succumb. Techniques are easy to learn as long as the list isn't too long or complicated, but you have to be in control of yourself to use them. If you just struggle without a plan, it will be easy for the attacker to overwhelm you. If you defend yourself half-heartedly, he will escalate his use of force on you. You must wait and be ruthless when you decide it is time. You must let the fear/anger/shame coil up ready to explode. When you decide to attack the attacker, do so quickly and with complete conviction (don't test the water). While you are waiting, plan your attack, targets to strike, how to get access to them. Paniced struggles just tire you out and leave you with even fewer defenses. Every time he says, "Bitch" or slaps you or slams you around, wind yourself tighter ready to explode. Use his physical abuse and words as fuel for your launch. Think of a being a giant snake coiling up at the center of your stomach getting ready to strike back. You are saying. "Don't hurt me, I will do whatever you want." On the outside You are thinking, " Get ready! Get ready! 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1" On the inside

Once you go to "Blast off! Attack!" nothing can stop you.

You cannot test the water, it has to be an explosion like a rocket launch , not one small firecracker after another. Make the best use of your natural weapons - The parts of your body you can use to defend yourself

Think of all of these as power tools instead of dainty parts. Remember he isn't going to spar with you. Attacks will be at close range. So if he can reach you, you can reach him. Sexual assaults require that the attacker get his face and his genitals near you. You will have targets, if you have the will to attack them.



Your goal once attacked = Stun/Damage attacker so you can escape. That is it, and you need to do whatever it takes so you survive and return to your family, friends and loved ones. It would be neat, if one simple technique would do the job, but you are going to have to hit/kick repeatedly to get away. You do no want to pause and give your attacker time to trade blows with you. Once you start to fight, make it continuous until it is clear you can escape.

You have to throw the switch to "Attack!" not simply fend him off. Being squeamish, retreating,

backing off might have serious, even fatal consequences. Think of what an angry or scared cat does when it is grabbed, it squirms and turns toward the attacker while clawing and biting at whomever had the nerve to take hold of it. You need to defend yourself as hard as your cat would defend itself. Ask yourself "How much damage would I be willing to do to save my daughter, if she were being attacked?" and then do as much to defend yourself. If you want to feel guilty later (even though you bear no responsibility for the injury done to a person who attacked you or your family), please be sure to be around so you can indulge yourself in those feelings. Choose when to strike back, and be aware of per se life-threatening situations: Never let these happen to you:

Being forced into a vehicle to be driven to a secondary crime scene. Run away even if he has a gun. Run in the opposite direction the vehicle is facing

Being restrained with Rope or duct tape.

Being made to kneel or lay face down when there is a firearm present.

Once you "Attack!"

Surprise him. Go from 0-100% without notifying him. Yielding Fake compliance turns into raging fury in an instant

Use your hips, legs and center of mass to power your attacks whether delivered by hands or feet

Attack your attacker's vulnerable targets, don't just struggle against his superior strength

Commit to damaging him. This is no the time to be ladylike.

Use your voice. Yell what you are doing like "Knee!"

List of Responses to various attacks

Positions/Attacks Responses/Techniques Comments/Notes Alternative(s)

Side Fall As shoved, fade away with it, Cross leg behind as you go backwards (almost like a curtsy) come to a kneeling position rolling on your own leg, then sit back, Turn to side Slap hands to side, Cock leg ready to kick, kick away!

After landing all of you is on one side. Keep supporting hand/arm on ground to help with impact as you kick. Look at target you are kicking, Kick quickly and retract quickly as well Targets: Knee, groin, If on ground Head, Chest, Throat.

Back Fall Tuck foot behind you, rock slowly towards ground, Curl Head to keep from hitting it, Slap behind yourself, palm to forearm, Cock leg ready to kick, kick away!

Don't just tuck your chin in, bend your neck and spine to lessen potential impact of head When kicking, use foot to make a hole in him, not to push off.

Front fall - face down

Bend knees, hands in front of face, head turned to side, slap palm to forearm

Don't just fall into the ground, slap out at it! Roll and get ready to kick.

Since it is possible that you will be knocked to the ground or slip and fall, it is important to learn to fall safely.



Self Defense Tables Mix and match responses to attacks, these are guidelines, not the 10 Commandments, any technique for one Position/Attack can be used in another situation as long as the target is available to you.


Being pushed or pulled

In base lean counter to force

Very temporary, need to flow to another movement or strike quickly

Pulled = Come and Palm Heel Strike Pushed = Spin/Throw (not always possible)

Slammed or pinned or engulfed against wall from the front Lower level version is being mauled or crowded which may escalate

Waiting to surprise him. Offer immediate reversal, Attack him with EPR, Ear clap, Eye Jab, (use thumbs if you want), Throat strike, multiple knees to groin, peel off head twist, spin and throw to floor, drop down and chop side of neck repeatedly. Turn his head to get access to target, make big motions on chop. If he blocks, peel it aside and keep going. Works from a front choke as well

Terrifying or panic generating situation since large person is seeking to dominate you with his physical size and proximity. Struggling and pushing against superior size and mass = futile, and runs the risk of having him decide to hit you to get you to behave. Once you Attack! Stick to him "like white on rice", so that your targets are easy to reach, and you can throw/slam him into hard objects

Multiple elbows sternum, groin slap, hand to the back of his head, spin and slam his head into wall. Be sure to step with him so you can use the shift of your weight to add impact to his collision with the wall. You have to be close to make this work.

Shove down from the front could be caused by: punch, shove or two handed shove, might be a kick or a front tackle

Move 45 out of his way, check his arm at the elbow, palm heel to chin (split strike), back throw

Learn to fall, you may not be able to avoid being knocked down. Once down, kick away!

Use of strikes and as soon as possible use kicks employing various techniques to get free depending on position, etc.




Front two handed Choke

If pulled in close: Strike to eyes, throat, cupped palms to ears If he is too far away: Head under one arm in a "U", Tighten neck muscles as you pry against his thumbs Forearm strike or groin slap as you go under his arm.

Do not squat down, bend your knees as you step through his grasp, and follow-up with strikes/kicks as you duck under his arms. If he is too close for this move, step back slightly to make space

Rotate one arm (parallel to ground) over his arms as you turn with shoulder to release, then strike back hand hammer fist, palm heel or other strike Secure one of his arms, knee to groin if close enough. Eye jab if close enough.

Hair grab from front Step forward and strike eyes, throat, heel stomp to top of foot

Outside wrist lock, and raise opposite arm up to make throw

Braced forearm shove/strike to throat, step back in base when or if possible, then release and re-strike

If you see grab coming, get both hands up in front of you

Head Butt Eye Jab Palm heel to chin/face Adam's apple pinch

Rear Choke Arm around throat or mouth

Clamp his lead arm to your chest, bend knees, wrap leg around his leg and use his thigh as a pivot. Lean down and execute throw, stomp kick in head

Elbow to short ribs as distraction

Rear grab at neck both hands on neck

Raise arm, turn shoulder, strike at kidney, short ribs

Judo Slam Throw




Hair grab/Shoulder grab from rear

Immediately turn back into him with elbow strikes to ribs/solar plexus/face/throat and knee to groin

Full Nelson Bend knees and drop, stomp top of foot, finger peel

Push your elbows down, spin and strike.

Struck at while you are positioned inside his arms

Both hands up inside of his arms, wrap up arms (act as if thumbs are attached to index fingers so they will not be jammed) Then put Elbow over his wrist on one side, clamp his arm to your side while cupping his elbow, bring your other hand over and grab the top of his shoulder, knee him, slide your close leg forward to make space to bring your other leg around behind him for a sweep, hook his leg out without stepping down, kick him in the head

Bend knee, make with arms and shoulders, slide hip out and step behind him with one leg to set up throw, elbow through face

Management of fear/panic reaction is critical. Prepare on the inside, Yell "No!" First few seconds are best time to respond. The longer he is in control, the worse your situation will become. Bend knees, bring arms in together to cover centerline so you do not get the wind knocked or squeezed out of you.

Late response: You are being lifted into the air. as picked up, lift knees towards chest to make yourself heavier, strike back at his groin, kick legs against his shins/knees, as dropped, foot stomp, turn into him with elbow strikes to face and knees to groin Options: Blow knee out.

Hug from rear under arms

Drop weight, bend knees, stomp his foot, knuckle punch to center of his hands, peel a finger - break it as you spin away

For best foot stomp, trace the shape of his leg as you raise your foot, go to knee, scrape shins on way down and then slam into top of foot, turn

your foot at 90 to his




Upper arm grab from behind

Fold your arm and pull out, escape or turn and strike.

Turn to him, raise grabbed arm, cross hand goes to his elbow, same side hand to his shoulder, then "push me, pull me" throw. as you knee groin

One hand pull at wrist

Go with pull and palm heel strike to face/chin

Rotate your hand around the outside of his arm and go to arm bar. Raise your hand up as if reading a book, and go to outside wrist lock Side kick to lead knee cap

One hand clothing grab, two hand clothing grab

Move forward, if need be strike downward over his forearms to bend his arms Eye jab Stomp heel kick

Arm around Duck out under arm from back, and strike

Capture wrist and step back to hammer lock (needs demonstration)




Hand on Knee Seated

Finger peel backwards Inside wrist lock Grab arm and pull it across your chest into arm bar.

Seated on ground approached by attacker

Turn and put hands on ground next to rear leg, as you go to hands and knees, look under your arm and kick

On Hands and Knees, attacker behind you arm(s) around waist

Fake compliance, Wait for opening as he pulls at your clothing or starts to undo his pants, look for his head and elbow strike with close hand, roll out and kick If opening presents itself as he forces you to hands and knees roll into him, trap his arm, knock him down, rear elbow strikes to face, then spin and side kick.

"Take it easy, come on…you don't have to hold me so tight." If he grabs at leg as you try to swing out, strike his eyes/face

When he goes behind you all the way, drop onto one side or the other and as you roll over, kick away. If he has your neck or throat, wait until he is at the bottom of you, then go! Clamp his arm to your waist and roll towards his elbow on that side, slam him into ground, and elbow to ribs, face

Hand on Hair, forced to your knees in front of attacker

As you go down bring your hand inside of his grip on your hair, grab your own hair, brace yourself on his upper thigh with your other hand, wait! When he gets ready to unzip, strike groin hard several times, sit down, and low line kick, then get up in base and leave

As with other techniques give Fake compliance and let him think you will do what he wants. Lead him to believe that he has situation and you under control.

As you bend knees in the middle of squat reverse direction and slam palm heel into his chin, knee him, spin him, knee again, elbow to face, shove him and leave. Power comes from uncoiling your legs , strike upwards. Palm strike may be used in very tight quarters as long as you bob down before you go up to strike




Weapon displayed knife or gun

If he puts it down, that is your opening. Go for Eye strike.

Fake compliance"Hey put that down, you don't need it. I will be good to you." Remember it is difficult for him to act out rape with object in his hand, so he may put it down anyway

Pinned to ground on your back, attacker seated on you perhaps choking you, touching your breasts

Elbows in close, so he can't slide higher on you, secure wrist, lock leg and roll out. Add elbow strike to groin. Alternate: secure his elbows, make "one up, one down" throw to heave him off you, go to kicks Cover one leg and roll him off you by just swing other leg over, leave you in position to knee or kick to groin

Must monitor his other hand or he will hit you. Use of hip swivel to unseat him If he has a knife, then calm him down verbally (and remember he will probably put knife down to undo your clothes or his) Remember being pinned to the ground isn't much different than being pinned or choked against a wall.

Weapon Technique: Drape your arms over his, slide down to his wrist and secure it, sit up over his arm figure 4 set up arm bar, slide hip back, force him down, trap close side leg, scoot hip out, place leg that was under him on his hip, other leg over his back, then torque arm and break it forcing him to drop knife, let go with one hand and grab knife and use it




Pinned to ground, on back. hand over mouth, or arms held down

Attack viciously immediately Eye strike. Throat strike Head twist - heave off Scoot back by swiveling hips, Groin kick, face kick You want to get your main weapons = legs aimed at him and remove your most vulnerable parts (face, throat) turned away from him, so spin around! Best kicks come when your tailbone is lined up with his head.

Fake compliance, nod head, wait for opening (Get ready!) If both arms held with one hand, work bottom one free and strike or wait. If he is going to rape you, or strike you he is going to have to use one or both of his hands. The second he lets

go of you Attack!

Roll him off from you, axe kick to chest, groin, face If he sits or kneels up so his head is high, then you kick for low targets: groin, knee :

Pinned to ground face up, arms held at sides

The instant he lets go, slide one leg out, brace at hip joint, get body free and kick at groin.

Wait, wait, wait! He has you pinned, but that is all, he can't hurt or rape you like this. He expects you to be scared and give up, fake it. He has to move down past your knees to part your legs, then go.




Pinned to ground face down, arms held at sides

As he goes either for your clothing to remove it or to adjust himself, scoot forward quickly, roll over and kick away

Fake compliance and wait. He cannot rape you from that position, when he gets past your knees, launch.

Pinned to ground face down

Draw one leg up, foot on ground Slide one hand up and one down to off balance him, shove with hip, spin around and kick away!

If leg is up you get more power for heave off If you can't move arms, scissor your legs one under other, switch legs, will roll him off you.

Triangle placement of hands helps, but is not only way to get heave off.

Pinned to ground, both hands clamped in one of his

Bring one leg up ready for heave off, as he leans back or raises other hand to strike, then pull bottom hand free and strike solar plexus/face as you execute heave off, then go to kicks.

Even if you are struck you should still get him off you and be able to kick. Watch his shoulder, as it moves he is unweighting his hands and giving you an opening. Even if your hand doesn't come free, he will still be rolled off of you




Pinned to ground on your back, attacker seated on you with intent to force oral rape Early Response

As he leans back to unzip, bring both legs over his head and force him backwards sharply, roll up with him and joined hand strike to groin, push back and kick away!

You must use Fake compliance and wait for opening. Works when he leans back to unzip, he is sitting high on your chest and you won't be bale to use hand strikes or heave off techniques.

Send him in the direction he is leaning which for split second will be backwards

Pinned to ground on our back, attacker lowering himself to complete oral rape Late Response

Bite, Bite, Bite! Hands go between his legs for double strike upwards like a volley ball move as you plant your legs knees bent and drive your hips up and forward which will heave him off over your face, spin around and kick away at backside of scrotum or tailbone!

Don't be squeamish, stop him from abusing you! As soon as he takes himself out, nip him. Yell the word "Bite!"

Send him in the direction he is leaning which is weight on his hands forward Anytime genitals are exposed: grab, twist, squeeze, tear, punch, bite, elbow Penis in one hand testicles in other hand, and twist in opposite directions

Pinned to ground, attacker between your legs

Fake compliance, arms inside his draped on his biceps, push off arm as you hip swivel to get one leg out, plant in his hip joint and push yourself backslide back, begin kicks, stand up in base, escape. Can combine upper body strikes with heave off.

Fake compliance "Don't hurt me, take it easy. I'll do whatever you want." Heave off technique - "One up, one down", as you raise knee plan foot so you can turn your hips where real power comes from, arms just steer him. Also works if they are sitting on your hips straddling you.

If he is holding your arm brace on knee and hip swivel. If he grabs your feet pull in and use hand strikes. If he is too close leaning in on you use your hips to rock him back, then use technique




Side mount - kissing you groping you

Hands over his arms almost as if caressing him, elbow to face if opening presents itself, thumbs his eye, get him to rear back to make space to swivel hip out from under him, even if he grabs your striking arm, then get a knee between the two of you, shoulder back, scoot out, leg on his hip joint., then kick et al.

"Take it easy, don't be so rough, what do you want me to do."

Swing leg over his head and scissor him into ground. Works when his head is off to the side of your body and your legs are free. If you need more pull your legs out and kick away! On a kiss, bite his lips!

On your back attacker at your ankles parting legs trying to get between your legs

Bang with knees one after another quickly on his chest until there is enough room to get in real kicks.

As he approaches get your knees up in the way, use then to pummel him and steer him to the side so you can get a kick (even if your hips leave the ground) If he move his lower body in use his body as a fulcrum to throw knees into him




Inside your guard, holding your hips to ground pulling you to him ready for penetration.

Put your hands up on his arms with a light touch near elbow, then place your hand on his knee, and use it to push off from him as you scoot your hips back and rotate them to set up kicks. As soon as you are free kick away.

Fake compliance "You know you can have whatever you want from me." (His face is too far away for hand strikes) and you can't push straight out because he has a tight hold on you in that direction. Rotate your rear

end a full 90 to the side. If you can get one leg into the crease where his leg meets his torso, you will have the best chance to push and rotate away from him.

Lock his wrist to you as you cross a leg over his head., throw him down and break arm.




Grabbed by one leg, either as a reaction to your kicks or as an opening move

Switch sides, load up and kick away with other leg. If he passes your leg and leans in go to hand strikes

Move forcefully and very quickly

Being dragged face up

Instead of resisting, pull yourself in, bring your hips towards his legs, and grab his ankles causing him to fall, then kick away!

Axe kick to groin will work very well.

Attacker on ground on back after your initial attack

Axe kick to face, groin, ribs, spine (if face down.)

Leg up as high as it can go, heel is striking surface, hinge at the hip not at the knee, scoop in as it hits Keep a very slight bend in leg to avoid hyperextension



Similarities to Ground Fighting Defenses

Sexual assaults will involve intimidation, threats, shouting, talking dirty. There may be slaps and punches to control the intended victim. This will be very threatening if it happens while you are pinned on the ground.

In a sexual assault situation, it may be the attacker's objective to shove, throw or knock the woman to the ground. The attack started on the ground or similar setting (as being attacked while sleeping or resting in bed or on the beach) While the objectives of the attacker are different when it is a man versus and man than when it is a man versus a woman, the things they will do to hurt you are the same and the techniques you use to escape are pretty much gender neutral (other than a groin tear, that is). Your attacker is going to smother you with his size and weight, punch or slap you, choke you, twist your head, pin your arms to overcome you whether you are an ex college wrestler or a 100 pound petite female. You should get access to and review the materials in the ground fighting portions of this C.O.R.E. system.
