At last, a self-defense DVD for women! The mission of this brand new program: facing the most common aggressions and defend yourself effectively. MISSION 1 - SAFETY: Through this self-defense program for women, the instructors show you all the techniques to prevent the tactics used by most aggressors. Be able, without being scared, to open the door of your house, to safely show their way to someone in the street, or even to avoid car-jacking. Safety also means the assimilation of certain reflexes: holding your purse the right way, learn to scan the ''unsafe'' places (parking lots, elevators, basements...), assimilate the functioning of a few props such as a whistle or a tear gas grenade. MISSION 2 - SELF DEFENSE: You do not need to be an athlete or a champion to defend yourself. Our two experts show you simple and effective techniques to react appropriately against any aggression. The real life situations are filmed in a most realistic way, with various angles, in order to quickly teach you all the movements. Each simulated aggression is shown in slow motion with detailed commentary from our experts. Also on this DVD, training exercises that you can do at home to learn how to strike according to the aggression. Thanks to this revolutionary DVD, women will gain confidence and self-assurance, which will help dissuade any aggressor to actually attack them.

There was a lot of good common sense portrayed
I put the DVD into a player, I don't recall changing any settings on my player, however it was in another language. I will have to check that again. The pictures told a story, and that was helpful. There was a lot of good common sense portrayed, that I did not even think about. Thank you!

Product Review
This video was produced very well with simple highlights on how a woman should response if physically attacked plus great safety awareness and minimizing victimization. I have interest in developing a woman self defense program and this video helped me observe and reinforce what I was thinking of. It is important to educate a woman on what her natural weapons are and help her develop dexterity using them. Learn main targets like eyes, neck and groin to escape. An attack on a woman usually is more on the intimidation form and several types of threats. Therefore, she should be trained and educated in order to empower her how to respond in that moment of fractions of seconds. This video at minimum can help you get the wheels turning in that direction. It also has nice scenarios.

Not bad
I have other videos and like them much better. I will keep this for others to borrow or watch.

This is false advertisement
There is no self-defense instruction in this video. Repetitive videos show you again and again common sense things like "don't leave your phone sitting on a table" and "if you're being followed onto a dead-end street, turn around and walk out" and "be watchful when approaching an ATM".

Not in Pal
The other person who wrote a review on this product did not know what they were talking about. This DVD is a multi region DVD (Region 0.) It may not play if you have an old DVD player but otherwise you should have no problems. I have a gopy of this DVD and it works fine. Also the content of the DVD is very good. It was shot nicely and has very high production value.

Muss man nicht haben
Ich habe mir deutlich mehr erwartet. Ein paar gute Vorbeugungsmaßnahmen sind schon dabei, aber Techniken sind rar. Für das Geld wird wenig geboten und am Schluss wird einem nahe gehalten, doch einen Kurs zu besuchen. Was zwar sinnvoll ist, wenn man sich wirklich mit Selbstverteidigung beschäftigen will, aber die DVD absolut nutzlos macht. Es gibt bessere DVD's von Alain Formaggio, lieber eine andere nehmen, als diese bloß weil das Wort "Frauen-" davor steht.

A éviter !
Franchement aucun réalisme dans les techniques proposées. Plus qu’inutÎle, ce genre de produit est dangereux ! Je l’ai visionné, le sourire aux lèvres.... puis direction poubelle’

self défense féminin
Dvd très utile comme support pour les instructeurs des self défense . Je le recommande aussi aux autres disciplines autres que le self défense.

Bof, 47 minutes pas bien utiles
Si vous voulez apprendre des techniques de self defense idéales pour les femmes, vous pouvez passer votre chemin car ce très court dvd est intéressant à regarder mais c'est bien tout. On n'y voit rien qui soit suffisamment explicité pour se défendre, juste des situations avec des recommandations et les images sont répétées 20 fois. A la limite du supportable.
