FIERCE & FEMALE

Practical Rape Defense Tactics for Every Woman
with Melissa Soalt, aka Dr. Ruthless®

Even the threat of violent assault can paralyze the strongest of women. In a society where rapes still occur with alarming frequency, it is vital to know not only how to avoid an attack, but also what a woman can do when everything else has failed, leaving you face-to-face with a predator with one thing on his mind: the violation of your body and soul. Knowing what to do, and not do, can make the difference between life and death, being raped or not. Preparation is key!

In this acclaimed DVD set. Dr. Ruthless goes beyond teaching smart tactics and strategies for women. She provides crucial emotional and mental preparedness, teaching women how to remain focused and not be paralyzed by fear; how to "coil up," summon their innermost strength and unleash a ferocious counterattack when all else fails, to facilitate escape.

Part 1 demonstrates 7 prevention strategies every woman must know then teaches essential techniques for stand-up attacks, showing you what to do—and not do—in potentially life-threatening scenarios such as being pinned, immobilized, or forced to a vehicle.

Part 2 focuses on defense and explosive counterattack methods from lying down, rape-specific pins and assaults, providing vital instruction for worst-case scenarios.

With its realistic scenarios, full-force demonstrations and easy-to-follow instruction, these gritty, no-holds-barred videos should be required viewing for all women and teens interested in being safe, confident and secure. You deserve a fighting chance!

Rave Reviews for Fierce and Female

"This is one of the BEST self defense video sets I have seen. The concepts, skills and techniques are excellent. Not only does Soalt discuss the psychological aspects of self defense, but teaches you how to deal with fear so you can fight back effectively. Although the tapes are geared for women, they just might be the BEST self defense videos, period, for men or women..."
BLACK BELT Magazine by Lito Angelis, Southern California Police Officer; Defensive Tactics Instructor and author.

"These tapes are awesome! The techniques are very clearly explained and demonstrated, but the most emotionally powerful parts are the scenarios that take place in ordinary settings - hallways, offices, a public restroom. They show unequivocally how effective these simple techniques are. Every woman should learn to defend herself with moves like these!"
Lyn Bates, Vice President, .Arming Women Against Rape and Endangerment (AWARE); contributing writer and editor, "Women & Guns" magazine

"Melissa pulls no punches, telling it like it is. Her methods are mean, dirty and nasty and of course that is what one wants when in a deadly situation as they are the only methods that work. I know a number of women who might still be alive today had they trained with her. This video should be a must for all teen age girls..."
Erle Montaigue, Dim Mak Master ("Death Point Striking"), World Taiji Boxing Association Chairman, author of 14 books and over 200 videos including "Sudden Violence" series.

"This is a kick ass video... Ms. Soalt's ability, drive, AGGRESSION and dynamics are a pleasure to watch... She moves better, faster, stronger than a lot of her male counterparts. There is NO FLUFF here... Direct, brutal, give 'em hell material. I really am impressed."
Comments from Combatives Legend, Carl Cestari as posted on "Close Combat" EZ-Boards.

"Dr. Ruthless kicks ass!"
BUST Magazine

"Melissa Soalt is a stick of dynamite who would give your average mugger nightmares. Her video set is the BEST female self defense presentation I have ever seen. She shows women how to overcome [strength and size] deficits by using sound tactics, superior body dynamics to increase power, and the element of surprise. Ms. Soalt is a very good trainer!"
POLICE MAGAZINE, Sgt. Charles "Yoda" Humes Jr.; Director of Police Institute of Tactical Training.

"Compelling and effective... Melissa's passion for this subject shines like a guiding star. Her emphasis on timing, how to remain focused and fuel one's counterattack is excellent. FIERCE AND FEMALE will change a woman's view of self defense from the facade of "Karate Kid" and belt ranking to "I am the weapon!"
Karen Brand, Aikido Black Belt, women's self defense instructor, mother of five.

"I am so impressed with Melissa's passion for helping women tap into their strength in times of danger or threat. Melissa's honest and realistic focus on what really happens inside the body and brain during an assault is something long overdue on the martial arts scene. I heartily endorse her FIERCE AND FEMALE message, method and motivation."
Shidoshi, Stephen K. Hayes, foremost western authority on Ninjutsu, Black Belt Hall of Fame, Personal security escort for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Founder: SKH Quest Centers.

"With her tiny frame but powerful survival spirit, Melissa shows women how to use their bodies in effective, forceful and very woman-specific ways. Her clear, colorful language, unambiguous technique demonstrations and full-power scenarios allow you to witness terror and shock transform into the explosive responses women need to marshal... Fierce and Female shows women how to harness the forces of adrenaline, fear and anger. Arm yourself with these tapes!"
Sheryl Hall Doran, Black Belt, rape survivor, co- founder of the national Model Mugging program; founder and former owner, Bay Area Model Mugging.

"This is the BEST women's self defense tapes I have ever seen. Indeed it is the BEST self defense video I have ever seen. The production value and material is excellent... a pleasure to watch. Fierce and Female leaves the viewer with an amazingly comprehensive array of responses to violent attacks. The padded attackers' were so believable that it made my adrenaline flow... If you are a woman buy this tape for yourself. If there is a woman you care about, buy this tape for her."
Kirik Jenness, author "The Fighter's Notebook", Commissioner of the North American Grappling Association, owner of mixedmartialarts.com, referee, judge and trainer of professional and amateur fighters.

"These tapes are a powerful wake-up call to all the 'sleeping beauties' and women who think violence won't happen to them. Melissa's message and full-force demonstrations shatter myths of female passivity and helplessness, reaffirming that women are fully capable of being dangerous... and being their own rescuers. These tapes should be mandatory viewing for all women and teens, and should be on every parent's shopping list for that daughter who is going away to college."
Ellen Snortland, self defense advocate and author, "BEAUTY BITES BEAST: Awakening The Warrior Within Women and Girls"; columnist, The Pasadena Weekly.

"These tapes are not only an excellent catalog of common situations facing women... but they provide an excellent discussion of the aggressive mind set necessary to defend oneself, correctly stressing how mind set is key. An excellent contribution... I highly recommend these tapes."
Nick Barcia, Senior Instructor for American Combatives.Association, Kung Fu Teacher, former professional fighter and bouncer.

"Watching Melissa perform and teach is a refreshing shot of primal truth. To say that 'you fight like a girl' may be the best compliment one can get if they are referring to fighting like Melissa Soalt."
Luciano Silveira, lifelong martial artist and bad ass; creator & co-producer: The Moment of Truth video..

"Melissa Soalt is a very good speaker, motivator, and teacher. She presents rape scenarios in a realistic way and shows us how to fight with clear and attainable moves. Soalt isn't a polite fighter; she is gritty, determined and, yes, fierce. This set would be a good addition to a public or college library."
