Great video...I teach womens self defense and have spent many years working on diferent techniques, while training in MA. This is only one in my arsenal. It is very important to realize that every situation is not the same and you should have many options to chose from. You can add this one to yours.

Not bad, but I don't know about using the axe-kick while the guy is down. It's difficult enough to put power into that kick while standing. You can put alot of power into a side kick, even while on the ground, though.

Good video, but if there was a stun gun or pepper spray nearby, she would have escape quicker. In today's world we must be ready to protect ourselves at all times. The whole thing could have been avoided if there had been a $10.00 door alarm on bedroom door. This would have prepared her to react much quicker. Self defense products such as a stun gun or pepper sprays may not save our lives, but they can give you that "small window of opportunity to escape".

Great Video.I know a lot of people think that the kicking is natural but i believe a womens first reaction would be to try to keep there cloths on probably reaching to pull there pants up.Not really thinking offense so the kicking to the face,groin,and mid chest is a great but dont forget the eye,and inner ear poking or scracthing.Most important thing for women is being aware that this could happen.

This is ok, but most attackers will no doubt have a weapon. Few would go empty handed. The majority of the real time training should be with weapons.

This is a good video and all but come on people! There are men out there that are so big and shit they could easily hold your legs down. Not to mention some women sometimes go into shock when something like rape happens and they dont know what to do. My best answer? Hit/punch/Kick in the NUTS! usually only way out. Then run for your life!

i guess this is okay. but don't let watching a video make you think you know self-defense. I study karate and have been to self-defense seminars. you hit a bag a dozen times or so. good luck remembering that!

Well, good idea to try if in that particular position. But do not count on it beeing so easy. The rapist is probably quite persistant and if he comes in that position try to grab the legs and throw her legs out of harms way.

Remember, kids: Go for the groin, throat and eyes. Eye gouging is allowed.
