    Model Mugging By Lisa - Sun, 20 May 2007 14:52:34 GMT

    =========

    From Wikipedia:

    Model Mugging or Impact is a form of self defense training that aims to better prepare women (and, less frequently, men) for real-life attack situations.

    Its inspiration was the 1971 rape and beating of a karate black belt in Palo Alto. Several of her peers began to reasearch ways to better prepare people to withstand, physically and emotionally, violent attacks.

    Model mugging training involves students role-playing and sometimes fighting through a variety of assault scenarios. Students are taught physical defenses, methods of avoiding or defusing potential assaults, verbal defenses, and decision-making under the pressure of such situations.

    Does anyone train in this form of self defense or does anyone teach it. How much reality role play is part of your self defense teaching methods?

      Is it similar to adrenal stress training?

        It was well publicized in the 80s...the nonplusplus SD program.

        The attacker is fitted with a full body armor and a huge helmet, and the participants go at him full force! Things like strongest muscle group and vulnerable points are stressed...but I had figured it had fallen by the wayside...

        The principle is sound: Pin your strength against his weakness - the legs are the strongest muscle/limb in the body, the knee is his weak point...

        Yell loud: Draw attention to you, and of course breath!

        Hit hard...goes without saying...

        Be not afraid to hurt the attacker! Should be a duh, but it's not, unfortunately!
