| WOMEN'S SAFETY & SELF-DEFENSE PROGRAMS |

| This was awesome! How Empowering! I definitely feel like I've gained confidence from this course... I've learned that I have the ability to defend myself even in the worst case scenarios. Thank you so much. |
| I absolutely gained both knowledge and confidence. I enjoyed the physical hands on training the most. The instructors were humorous but still professionals. |
| I didn't realize that there were so many effective and easy ways to defend yourself. I feel very good about what I've learned today and it was fun. |
| I gained confidence and life changing information. I wish we had a second day of training to learn more. You are very knowledgable and skilled. |
| Protecting His Gifts was formed as a non profit organization to advanace women's self protection skills and reduce the tide of violence against women in our society. With that in mind, Protecting His Gifts is equipped to aide law enforcement agencies, high schools, universities, community organizations, and corporations with empowering presentations, workshops and materials to keep women safe. We encourage them to claim their right to fight back and to refuse |
| to be a victim. When girls and women of all ages take an active role in their safety they learn the critical emotional and physical skills necessary to reduce risk, make safer choices, and live with greater confidence. Our programs are filled with practical skills and easy to learn techniques that are effective and proven to work. Participants learn to trust their instincts instead of logic. |
| Data shows that when victims fight back the chance of a rape being completed decreases because the attackers lose control. Women must decide as individuals when, and if they will fight back. Through our presentations and workshops we deal with the tough emotional and personal issues to help participants answer these questions before they encounter a potentially dangerous |
| situation. Whatever a woman decides is best for her - she is right! No one should second guess her. Our programs are designed for women and teenage girls in high school. We commonly teach our workshops during high school gym |
| classes over several days or during a single day workshop. The physical techniques give priority to ground defense skills (something we noticed missing in most martial arts classes offering self defense for women. As a retired police officer I know from experience that almost all attacks and sexual assaults end up on the ground. Shockingly, over the years I |
| found very few programs that taught anything about ground defense for women. It can be an uncomfortable position to find yourself in, but a woman is most powerful on the ground if she knows how to use her body and her inherent strengths to her advantage. It doesn't take strength or years of training to fight from the ground, just practicing proven techniques. Our ground skills have been used successfully for decades in real world situations by police officers. There not concepts or some super secret Ninja skills. They are proven, effective, and easy to learn. Most just tried to intimidate women with inaccurate statistics and shocking stories of rapes and murders. Fear is natural and can be used to a woman's advantage but it shouldn't be used to scare people into taking a martial arts or defense class that isn't practical or effective. Don't be afraid, be prepared and determined to stay safe. |
| We offer presentations in corporate settings with multimedia aides that help us to incorporate physical techniques in an environment they usually wouldn't be taught. While our presentations in these setting concentrate on awareness and intuition, we feel it is important to pass on physical skills for self protection whenever possible. They save lives! COST/DONATION Grants and other funding options may be available for schools, churches, and other community serving organizations. Protecting His Gifts always seeks to offer our safety presentations and workshops at no cost. However, we do not always have the good fortune of funding and grants for programs. Our corporate presentations can be customized to your time and space requirements but they commonly last between one and three hours. The cost of a speaking engagement usually starts at $500.00 (plus travel). Booklets and materials may cost extra depending on the size of your group. Clinics that include hands on training can be taught in a limited time setting of 2-3 hours, or an in depth 8 hour clinic spread over several days. All of our clinics include awareness, instinct development, strikes and ground techniques. More advanced courses empower women with weapons defense skills that they really seem to enjoy learning. We bring several instructors to our clinics so participants have plenty of instruction and help. Clinics also start at $500.00 depending on its duration; plus the expense for the booklets.

| These are no nonsense, step-by-step programs to teach women of all ages, sizes and physical abilities the techniques and skills they need to learn to avoid and escape violent situations. Each woman attending a clinic will receive our 80 page Women's Safety & Self-Defense Manual packed full of information including illustrations of the techniques they will learn. This allows them to look back months or even years later and recall the skills learned during the clinic. So there is no need to pay for, or attend a re-fresher course. Yes, people ask if we wouldn't make more money by not giving out the booklets, but our mission is to protect God's women and children, not to take advantage of their fears of victimization to get rich. |

| Officer Neil, You probably already know my response to the clinics. THEY ARE AWESOME! Did I mention extremely fun! Because of the self defense clinics, I've had so much more confidence in myself than I've ever had before. Now I know that if someone tries to attack me, I'll be able to defend myself against them. It's been a whole new experience that's helped me become stronger as a young woman and clinics should be held continually throughout the year if possible. I wish this wasn't our last one, but in any case, all of the techniques that I learned will stick with me for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for that opportunity. |
