Did You Know*. . .

• 1 in 4 women have been or will be the target of an attempted or completed rape during their lifetime.
• More than 70% of women raped are known to their attackers in some way—an acquaintance, friend, neighbor, co-worker, relative, husband or boyfriend.
• Most attacks and assaults occur within 1 mile of your home, work, school or office.
• 1 in 12 women will be stalked during their lifetime.
• Each year, more than 13,000 women are attacked on the job in the U.S.
• A violent crime occurs every 22 seconds in the U.S. (rape, robbery, assault, murder, with and without weapons).

Violent crimes can, and do happen to anyone. Unfortunately, most women don’t have a plan. But you can learn simple strategies to live and feel safer. Our training program helps women become prepared and present themselves as tough targets.

You don't have to become a statistic or live in fear. You can recognize risky situations and possess the knowledge and confidence to protect yourself. Be a Tough Target!

This class helped me to be better mentally prepared in how to respond if attacked. It has also made me aware of what places and situations can make me most vulnerable to possible assault.

Your moves were easy to do and more importantly, you taught us to be more aware of our surroundings in these dangerous times.
Vickie Johnson, Curves Manager Flowery Branch, GA
I really felt like you covered every important aspect of self-defense and how we should go about protecting ourselves. We all gained so much from your program and I feel it is imperative for people our age to have the knowledge that you passed along to use.

The best part about Retta and her educating us was that she was fun about it and gave examples of how to protect ourselves in an everyday situation. No one felt that is was over the top, or too much for them to do. Thank you so much for all of your help and awareness!
