Did you know...
- A woman is attacked every 3 seconds.
- One burglary occurs every 12 seconds.
- One assault occurs every 29 seconds.
- One robbery occurs every 54 seconds.
- One rape occurs every 5 minutes.
- One murder occurs every 24 minutes.
- Of all sexual assaults in which weapon information was available, a personal weapon (such as hands, feet or fists) was the only weapon involved in 77% of the cases, a firearm in 2% of the cases, non- personal weapons (such as a club or knife) in 6% of the cases and no weapon at all in 14% of the cases.
- Some type of self protection was involved in 91.5% of attempted rapes
So what does this have to do with me? People will use crime rates in one of two ways; to scare people into thinking that they are likely to become a crime victim, or to convince people that they are so unlikely to be a crime victim that they don’t have to do anything to protect themselves. We at United Studios of Self Defense believe that EVERY woman should know that, they too, are at risk. Women who practice prevention and protection have a better chance of surviving a violent crime.
Awareness can be a lifesaver. It is very important to pay attention
at all times to whatever is going on around you. It takes practice
and time to learn to be attentive without being paranoid. Some people
think that they are being paranoid when they first begin practicing
awareness. However, with time it will develop into a natural habit.
The USSD Women's Self Defense Class is ideal for all women of all
ages and skill or athletic levels. You
will have fun and gain confidence, learning skills that will help
get you out of potentially dangerous situations. Participants
practice full-force self-defense on actual people. USSD members
put on full protective gear and let participants really
hit them. Participants
see what a real life situation is like and realize that they have
the strength to fight back.
