Women's Self-Defense Instructors

Brian Chaffin
Certified Instructor
Kansas City, Missouri

Leading a growing church, building and remodeling homes for the community, raising a family and teaching Goju Ryu Karate seems to be a typical day for Brian.

"One of my passion in life has been the study of martial arts and empowering people to defend their own or somebody else's life," he says.  I have studied and taught Goju Ryu Karate for the last 16 years.

"One area that has been difficult to teach effectively is in the area of women's self-defense, until now.  I taught a self-defense course for women at MSSU as a class project and did the typical awareness speech and demonstrated how different common items could be used as weapons.  However useful these techniques were, they missed the reality of just how brutal an attack could be.  Another very important component to this is, unless you consistently practice martial arts techniques, they are easily forgotten. For this reason, the Rape Escape techniques are designed as a muscle memory response.  I have applied the Rape Escape techniques against my training partner who is also a black belt in Goju Ryu Karate and have found them to be very effective, easy to learn, and simple to teach."
