What People are Saying About the Rape Escape Videos

"I have just finished viewing your Rape Escape series for the second time. What a wonderful defensive tool you have provided for our friends and loved ones. I have been a Police Officer for 23 years and a martial artist for 25 years. I am a senior defensive tactics instructor at the Westchester County Police Academy, New York. I have instructed International, Federal, State and local law enforcement officers since 1980. I have also taught many Woman's safety & self-defense programs for Women age 12 to 70 years old. Your program is in-depth, comprehensive and coverers most any scenario a women could find herself in. More times than I care to recall I have interviewed both the victim and the predator in sexual assault cases and I  can tell you that your approach, tactics and  techniques are right on. You have addressed the real world and devised a credible and workable solution to a horrific crime. Great Job!"

"In my 20 years of Martial Arts training and 10 years of police work, I have seen many self-defense "systems." Most of these systems are comprised of awareness training or complex martial arts moves. Brad Parker’s Rape Escape is different. Brad Parker takes a look at women’s self defense from a practical vantage point. Brad teaches simple techniques used on critical target areas, which gives the victim a better chance to escape. Many of the other self-defense systems I have examined are primarily a way for gym owners to draw in new clientele by praying on women’s fears. Brad has approached Rape Escape from the law enforcement side of his life and offered his knowledge and training to truly help and teach women. Brad does not pull any punches in his teaching. Many of the positions and scenarios that Brad uses are the same as I have seen in the sexual assaults that I have investigated. In today’s atmosphere of political correctness it is refreshing to have someone "tell you like it is!"

"I really like the Level 3 video (heck, I like them all). Level 3 explains the "hop" question that arose earlier and continues the excellent instruction and quality production that are the hallmarks of tapes 1 and 2. The three tape set is an excellent rape defense set--the best I've seen-- and I whole heartedly recommend them. Great job."

"WOW!! I am so impressed with Video 1!! I watched it twice, just to appreciate all the special effects and editing you incorporated. I also believe you've done a terrific job of providing very useful techniques, presented in ways that are easy to understand. This is a good thing you've done! THANK YOU!"

"From what I viewed, I must say you are doing a good job as the techniques are so simple yet very effective. Many self defense and martial arts videos do not cover what you have in sexual assault and more amazing are the techniques. My friend was surprised at how easy the techniques were and thanked me for the tape. Well the praise must go to you of course, I only searched the Web and came across your Web site. I too, am thankful for your service as such a system is non-existent at present. Your tapes seem to be the first to introduce techniques in a compromising position in an assault."

"Brad, I am glad to hear that [Rape Escape] Level 3 is out. I REALLY enjoyed the first two tapes. You present things well and I would like to issue you a THANK YOU for all of the information that you put out both on your tapes and your Web site."

"Just a brief note to say thank you again for a great job in sharing valuable information. As a law enforcement officer and crime prevention practitioner, this information is passed along to some very grateful citizens. Thanks."
