The idea of being sexually assaulted is very terrible thought and experience that happens more times than one thinks in this country. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective martial to defend yourself in a rape situation.

The techniques are designed to help any woman escape from her attacker, whether she is on her feet or on the ground. The techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are not based on strikes and kicks as are most other self-defense courses for women. Strikes and kicks offer very little chance for success against an assailant who is most likely going to be bigger, stronger and capable of hitting back. Furthermore, they are useless on the ground which is where the attacker will usually carry out his assault. The escape moves of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are based on leverage and technique and do not require strength, speed or coordination. They can therefore be used effectively by women of any age, size, strength or level of physical fitness.

The worst part of an attack situation is the feeling of total helplessness the victim experiences. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu not only empowers a woman physically with simple, effective techniques for an escape, but also psychologically and emotionally by enabling her to maintain the presence of mind necessary to recognize or create an opportunity to get away.
