Rachael Ray once again invited me to her program to show women self-defense.  

Did you know that in 2015, the last year we have statistics on, there were nearly 1.2 million violent crimes committed in the United States?  Even worse, there were over 124,000 cases of rape, up from 118,000 in 2014.  This is why it is absolutely critical that your wife, daughter, and female loved ones learn some basic self-defense.  By sharing this information with them you may save them from becoming a member of these statistics.

That’s why I took the time to show Rachael how to defend herself from an attacker.  I demonstrated the simple moves that can free a woman who is grabbed by the hair.  You simply grab the hands of the attacker and hold them against your head.  Then you spin under the attacker’s arm.  It’s that simple.  However, your loved ones need to watch it to see it work.  They may even enjoy watching how effectively Rachael employed it on me.

Now that you’ve watched the video, you have seen some other techniques demonstrated. Practice and experience in a variety of techniques are key to an emergency defense plan.
