Thank you for the work you have done here...It's strong-minded young women like the ones who came up with the concept who will make such a difference for a lot of girls and teens. I think this is a topic that many parents are afraid to broach with their daughters, because they are afraid that they will soil their child's view of humanity. However, after what happened to my daughter, I know how necessary it is. You can NEVER start too early teaching your daughters about this, it can mean all the difference in the world!

You are all outstanding people for doing something like this, taking the risk, and following your program all the way through. Think of the power you are giving young girls. Wow!! Thank you very much.
I know how important it is for young women and teens to know how to protect themselves. When my granddaugter was 13 she was sexually molested by 3 young boys. After 3 years of drug abuse and alcohol abuse she finally regained her confidence and is now a well adjusted beautiful 18 year old young woman.
I work at a fortune 500 company and am trying to get the Just Yell Fire site information out to all the people in our company so that any of them with preteen or teen girls in their family can get a copy of this movie if they believe its appropriate. Living in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area of Florida it is common to hear about an abduction and occasionally a girl lucky enough to get away. I used to take Judo as a kid and took a bit of Wing Chung Kung Fu. I had heard of Escrima, Jeet Kune Do, Tae Kwon Do, Kempo Karate, and Savate as a Bruce Lee movie fan but I never heard of Filipino street fighting which from this video appears to be the best self defense martial art out there. Congrats to Dallas, I am surprised that teens would do this and not some Big Child Advocacy Group. Thank God they did and are giving it to young girls so they can get away from any sicko out there.
Thank you. I saw what you girls do on a tv show just last week. It's amazing that you all are taking time to inform young ladies on what to do. I myself am 25 but women my age and older need to be just as informed as teens because a man or woman can try to over power us just the same. Being aware of ways to assist in attack is life saving and I appreciate what you ladies are doing. Thank you again. God bless.
I first read about the video "just yell fire" in last weeks People magazine, and immediately went on line to get more information. As a gynecologist, I have seen firsthand the lifelong devastation of sexual assault. As a martial artist, I understand the importance of empowering everyone to be able to defend themselves. I am encouraging all of my friends, family, coworkers, etc. to visit your site, and learn more about this important message. I also hope to teach some of these skills at our next office meeting. Thank you, Thank you, for making this video.
I was searching online for something about young people changing the world in order to inspire a young friend. I discovered and ordered Dallas' book, which I'm reading before I give it to my friend! Then I found out about JYF. OMG. Many, many congratulations to Dallas - wow, wow, really, really wow!
Best wishes for the continuation of JYF long, long into the future.

Hello, my name is Muna from Lebanon. I have to say that i think your movie is great and i would like to share the film with my class and school. Thank you for all the hardwork and keep it on...
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!!!
I have six young nieces (and one nephew) and have tried to teach them how to prevent an abduction or unwanted touching. I taught them to yell 'fire' as loudly as possible, thinking it would get more attention than 'help'. I am happy to see that I wsa doing it right. I applaud what you and this team have accomplished and I plan to promote the DVD to everyone I know. Thank you for your dedication to this project.
