Dear Instructor,
I really enjoyed the level II class today, I was just as surprised with the techniques that were taught today as I was in your level I class. The classes are always informative, and the techniques are easy to follow through with. It's always good to see the different age groups that attend your classes, which puts my mind at ease about a child or a senior being able to defend themselves against an attack. I really appreciate the fact that you include current statistics about rapes or attacks that take place on women everyday somewhere in America. The level II class allowed me to combine the moves that where taught to me in your level I class, which makes each move more aggressive than the last . These classes have given me the knowledge and confidence that I need to protect myself at any given time if I feel threatened. Upon leaving each class I'm more equipped with the techniques I need to protect myself in any situation. It's also reassuring to know that I can come back for refresher courses at such a reasonable price.. I'll see you in the next class.
P.S. Ladies this class is AWESOME, if you haven't taken one, what are you waiting on? An attack!!

I just can't stop talking about the class. I was really pumped up afterwards. I really feel in my heart this class will be good for every women. I learned things I really didn't know and now I'm informed as to what to look for and most of all what to do. I'm a changed women!
Thank You

"I don't often recommend things unless I feel very strong about them, well today I took a class with Mike Wall. At first I thought RAPE ESCAPE, as it is called, would be similar to other self-defense classes, but very quickly I realized it was not. I beg you to take the course, it is and will be the best 3 hours you will ever spend."

"Congratulations on a well developed, well organized and useful course. I had a great time, loved the dynamics, all the instructors were so helpful to everyone, not to mention generous and nice! So refreshing in a world of inflated egos."

"Thank you again for the Rape Escape evening. We received very positive feedback from the parents and the girls and want us to repeat the program again for other girls."

"I also wanted to thank the both of you again. It was nice to feel welcome by people I've never met. I am generally shy when I'm around new people. (yes believe it, it's true) I feel that I've always known you. I've been training since June of 1993 and I've never felt comfortable with my ability to defend myself against a violent attack...let's face it most karate schools were developed by men, for men. I have an edge now and I can pass it on. Now that I've had a full night's sleep and I've had time to absorb the weekend, my enthusiasm has redeveloped. Thanks to my new friends." D.M., New Jersey

You and your team gave all of us a very powerful experience this weekend. Thanks for your dedication."

"I think this is a great program that I wish I had learned about a long time ago. All I can say is, I will try to drag every woman that I care about into one of your classes."

"I love it. I got so much out of it. I came here thinking avoidance, avoidance avoidance. I thought it was going to be how to walk, how to make eye contact, how to carry your keys, but this taught us about ‘you're in it up to here, now what are you going to do?’"
-
"This has given me some tools to not just blindly flail. I think I could put up a good fight, but now I have some tools to use. I would have never thought to do what you taught us to do."
-
"When I first came to Rape Escape 1 and you said our strongest position is on our back, that would have been the last place I would have thought I wanted to be before I came here. Now I see how strong I am. I pushed you over — I knocked you over. I would have never thought about that, it was very cool. It's an empowering thing."
-
"I believe [the structure of the classes] brings you further along the process and leaves no holes in your escapes. It cleans up anything that is left open, it finishes everything off."
-
"The first one [Level 1] gets you started and comfortable with the idea that somebody is on top of you and then the more you get used to dealing with that then it takes you full circle so there is no holes in the process."
-
"Very simple. Not confusing. Simple enough for anyone to do. I think that's what makes it so good, everything is so simple. You don't have to remember 20 things, you only have to remember a few simple things to take you through everything [all the scenarios] and that's what makes it so you know it's so effective. You know it's going to work, you believe it's going to work. That's the best part."
-
"It's simpler than karate, it's not as complicated. You don't have to explain it as much as karate. It keeps it simple, that's what's most important. That's the thing, you can't remember 20 things when you're out there [on the street]."
-
"I like the simplicity. I really like it."
-
"I feel with our society as it is nowadays you really have to know what you are doing….and I think this gives you a lot of practical things to work with."
-
"I have also taken other self-defense classes at other schools and with city programs and to be honest with you, this is the only one I've really retained and keep coming back to."
-
"I think [it's easy to retain] because a lot of this is very practical -- the simplicity of it -- whereas other [self-defense courses] seem to be based on having very specific and intricate blocks and all sorts of things which are very difficult to do when you are in a situation. You won't want to have to remember all of that."
-
"I feel that if I had to use any of this, I could. No doubt about it. I feel confident with what I know and the tools you've given me and be effective."
-
"I think the normal woman comes in feeling very intimidated…but half way through the class they are saying ‘I can do this, it's not that difficult’. This is wonderful, this is great, I know longer feel intimidated."
-
"It raises your confidence level and I am now very grateful and thankful that I now have tools I can use."
-
"I want to thank you for the wonderful class on Sunday. I went home exhausted and feeling so much better knowing I knew so much more than I had a few hours earlier. All women and young girls should have this class. So I am sort of taking it upon myself to tell as many women as I can about your class."
