I am a 13 year girl who attends middle school, and does ride the bus. My bus stop has one other girl, the same build and age as me. I am very weak, and don't play any sports whatsoever. For the past year, I have heard of many girls who were older and stronger than me get raped and taken away. Needless to say, I was frightened. What could happen to me?

My mom showed me and my little brother this video. After watching it, I emailed it to all my female friends and watched it over and over again to practice the actions used against a sexual offender. Thank you so much for letting everyone see this. Now I know that I have a chance against a 200 pound man or woman who tries to touch me. By the way, I thought the hair combing thing was brilliant, and the scoop kick was as well.

Please accept this donation for your outstanding efforts in protecting young girls everywhere. After learning about a teenage girl being assaulted this week in our local high school, by another student, I realized I needed to get this DVD and show it to my 13 year old daughter and her friends. Thank you so much for all your hard work and love for other uman beings.

Thank you again from our entire team! You and Valerie did such a fabulous job. Several of our volunteers commented at the end that your traiing was the best self-defense class they had ever taken - and several had attended classes in the past. you adapted your presentation to fit perfectly into our time constraints and skill level. You and Valerie brought such great energy and enthusiasm to our class. We especially appreciate you taking time on a Sunday. We feel empowered to continue to advocate for sexually exploited women in and around Portland.

We are so pleased to know you and your work. I hope this is only the beginning of our partnership.

I work for a domestic violence rape crisis center in Bloomsburg PA. I watched a borrowed copy of your video entitled "Just Yell Fire" and thought our agency may want to incorporate your video into our prevention education programs for girls and their parents. Thank you for an extremely powerful video. The statistics are haunting. I plan to show your website to my two 13 year old nieces and encourage them to watch your video.

When I was 13 I was brutally raped, I thought I was going to die- and I should have died. I managed to get away somehow- then about a year or two later he attacked me again in my High school. I was wondering if I could get a copy of this so I could bring it to my high school- and so I could share it with my friends.

Thank you so much for what you are doing- it is amazing. Please, keep up the work- and I will help spread the word.

I saw you guys on Montel and I wanted to say I think you guys are doing an amazing thing. I was attacked in my own home when I was 14 and beat up by my b/f just a lil over 3 years ago, I finaly deicided to take up Kickboxing its maid a world of difference in mylife. Keep up the good work u guys are awesome.

I think what you are doing is great, I am proud to live in a world where there are still people out there who care. I am gonna hang on to this cd for my daughter for when she gets a little bit older. Thank you!!!

What an amazing idea!! I heard about this on the Clark Howard Show and I am a survivor of rape and I want to use my experience to help and educate others. Thank you for doing this it means so much to me

Thank you very much, and GOOD JOB to the gals who made this!

Actually, I have to tell you that I passed this link on to my colleagues at work and got a token safety award for this information. I have hoped for quite awhile that all of the schools would implement some sort of self-defense training for ALL kids, as they are all vulnerable to the MANY creeps out there.

Thanks, again.

I am a wife, a mother and a student. Watching Montel Williams, they show the segment of your dvd. I COMMEND the young girls for thinking of this. you girls are amazing. To the Crew, I think you guys are awesome. I'm glad someone finally made a dvd to show girls my younger sisters age(14) actually doing this. this shows that they are capable of doing it themself. NO female should become a victim because she can not protect herself. THANK YOU! Comming from a Daughter, a Mother, and most of all, an older sister. I really commend you guys.

Thank you for doing this.
