In Phase 2 of a stranger-related sexual assault, the assailant will attempt to overwhelm and subdue his target to then isolate her from the crowd or get her to the ground. In the Women Empowered DVD program, we teach proven defense strategies for all the most common Phase 2 attack strategies such as a bear hugs, choke holds, hair grabs or wrist grabs. In this new sample video from disc 1 of the DVD program, we explore one of the five variations of the Gracie Wrist Releases featured in the Women Empowered program. Upon viewing this sample clip, get a partner and give it a try. Pay particularly close attention to important role proper base and body positioning plays in giving you the greatest amount of leverage during the escape. Women Empowered is the official Gracie self-defense program for women. Originally, this 15-lesson program could only be accessed at the Gracie Academy in Torrance, CA. But now, the entire program is available in one 6-disc DVD collection, so you can complete the course from the comfort of your own home under the direct guidance of Ryron, Rener, and Ralek Gracie, along with special guest instructors Sage Gracie and Eve Torres! The complete DVD program features 10 Core Lessons and 5 Advanced Lessons, as well as well as several “Empowerment Talks“, designed to increase awareness and reduce your likelihood of being assaulted. Although there are many women's self-defense programs on the market, the Women Empowered program is unique in that all the techniques have been proven effective for all women, regardless of age or fitness level, and it is the only self-defense program that effectively addresses what to do at all Four Phases of a sexual assault. To read more about the Four Phases, please visit . THE PARTNERSHIP There are several well-established national outreach programs that are committed to preventing rape and abuse towards women. The Gracie Academy has partnered with these organizations to ensure that the Women Empowered program is made available to those who need it most. For every 10 Women Empowered DVD collections sold, we will donate one Women Empowered DVD collection to a battered women's shelter or rape prevention organization. The DVDs are region free and are designed to be compatible with all DVD players. If you're a woman, and you've EVER thought about learning self-defense, this program is for you. If you're a man, and you've always wanted your wife/girlfriend/sister/daughter/mother to learn self-defense, but she's too intimidated to take classes at the local martial arts club, this program is for her. 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
