Do you have to wait?...

"London: A third of teenage girls have been victims of sexual violence by a boyfriend, campaigners in the UK said on Sunday.

Experts fear that some do not even realise they are victims of a crime and others are too terrified or embarrassed to speak out."

These are the first lines of an article in the news that I saw... its horrible! Please read the full article here to get a full insight into what is happening: http://gulfnews.com/news/world/uk/uk-ad-urges-rape-victims-to-speak-out-1.990646

The issue they are trying to raise is that young girls are so ill-informed on what sexual violence is and that they don't understand when its happening, and if they do understand they have no idea how to stop it. They blame the problem on the sexualisation of teenagers as TV, films and the internet bombard them with provocative messages, causing them to define sexual consent too loosely. 

I believe that this is true... but I also believe that if they are taught  what sexual consent really is, and give them a method of preventing someone from crossing the boundaries that they set, then the problem can be dramatically reduced. 

This is why in Evade's Empowering Women program, we made sure that a section of this program was dedicated to teaching young girls about the importance of awareness, the importance of knowing how to say no and the truth about sexual violence and what consent is. 

Do you have to wait until your daughter or friend, or even yourself is a victim of an assault or violence before you take action? No. Preparation is key to eradicating this problem and its starts with simple call or email to 01457 860178 or Alex@evadeblackbeltschool.com. 

Prepare yourself by taking part in a FREE Empowering Women Seminar at Evade on 19th May 2012. Can you leave it to chance?  

Scary But VERY Informative... Empower Yourself.

This video is disturbing, but even though its scary there is some extremely valuable information that you can take away from this...

This video gives you a great insight into the mind of a serial rapist and the methods that they use to select and attack a target. 

Sexual Assualt is a primary fear for many women. And yet few ever learn to defend themselves. Why? We believe that this thought is so scary that even the smartest of women try to convince themselves, "this will never happen to me" or "if I don't think about this, it won't happen to me".

This underlying fear can be so mentally paralysing to the point where most women won't learn self defence because even just thinking about the possibility is scary enough. Many women think this way, and its simply because you have been misinformed about the realities of a sexual assualt and subconsciously let your doubts rule your decision making.


This is why at Evade, we have created the 'Empowering Women'  program, an incredible program that shows you some of the world’s most effective physical and verbal techniques; ranging from what do if someone grabs your wrist, attempts to hold you down, tries to strangle you or grab you, even if someone tries to get past your boundaries verbally... and the best part is they can be used by all women!


The method that the attacker uses on this video is very common throughout many sexual assaults, and through extensive research and through victims personal stories, we have discovered that nearly all sexual assaults are committed using this method. At each stage of this strategy we will show you the most effective physical techniques and important psychological strategies that could SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Here is a brief breakdown of the four stages used in a sexual assault:

Stage 1) Locate an innocent target

A stranger attack relies on the element of surprise, they will normally target those who are distracted, or those who look weak or fragile.

Stage 2) Control the Target

Once the attacker is within striking distance of the target, they will look to control them. Most often a stranger attacker will look to control their target with tremendous force and over whelm their victim before moving them to an isolated area.

Stage 3) Exhaustion

The attacker will try or “break” the victims will to resist against the attack, the attacker will expect the victim to panic and fight for their life as the attacker is pinning them to the ground or striking them.

Stage 4) Carry out the Attack

In this stage the crime is carried out, the attacker will rely on the victims fear and exhaustion to maintain control. 


FREE Seminar - Sat 19th May 2012 - 5pm - 6.30pm

Taught in a friendly, interactive seminar, you will learn how to defend yourself against the most common attacks on women. Such scenarios include different types of wrist grabs, chokeholds, hair grabbing and bear hugs. Not only that, we will teach you verbal assertiveness to establish and enforce personal boundaries, making this course ideal for not only adults but also teenagers. What makes this seminar different from other self-defence workshops is the identification of the Four Stages of Sexual Assault, and the unique defensive strategies applied at each stage of an attack.

Call 01457 860178 or email info@evadeblackbeltschool.com to book your free place.

The program will cover essential awareness principles, street smart reminders, and the critical psychology that will enable women to avoid panic and escape from an attacker who has pinned her to the ground. In this course will will also address defensive strategies in the event of a non-stranger sexual assault, or “undercover attacker”, where the attacker may be a colleague, friend, relative, or other acquaintance.

Not only that, but also the techniques are based on leverage and timing, eliminating their dependence on physical strength, coordination, age, or flexibility.  This program is truly designed for all women, and no martial arts experience is necessary.
