My daughter turns 15 next month and I am an elementary school teacher in Santa Rosa, CA. I heard about the movie on Clark Howard last night and listened to a few seconds on my computer. I am really impressed.
What a proactive, "real" and effective way to reach and keep our girls safe.
You have strength and hearts of gold for spreading awareness of this kind. I have 3 daughters, aged 14, 8, and 6, and I can't stress enough as to the worry that I have on a daily basis being their mother, I worry about them walking to and home from school, about playing outside, and even being in a public place with their father and I, all it takes is a split second for someone to grab them.
You are all in my prayers and God is holding a special place for you all.
I train and teach Soo Bahk Do in the Mount Vernon Washington area. While looking at one of our regional web sites, www.camaskarate.com there was an article on Just Yell Fire and how it was created.
I'd personally like to thank you and all involved for providing awareness to not only women but people of all ages. Awareness is an important key.
I've recently been asked to provide self defense training to my fellow co workers (nurses) and their children.
I look forward to sharing my information and requesting all attendees watch your video-then pay it forward to family, friends and loved ones. It's this type of crucial information that should be required viewing (and learning) in all schools.
What a gift it would be to each and every recipient!
Again, thank you to all for creating such an important film. May it travel around the world and touch the lives of millions!
Thank you so much for making this movie available - you are literally saving thousands.
Watched the DVD last night with my daughter. She enjoyed the insight and tips provided. She will be having some of her friends over to watch as well. She is talking about taking it to school and asking the counselor if she can show it to other female students!
Thank you so much for this project.
I am incredibly impressed with Dallas and Catherine, their families and everyone who participated in putting together the movie and website. I am absolutely convinced that many lives will be saved and many potential rapes will be stopped. I am trying to teach my children that each person should live their lives such that they are contributing something of value to their family, their community and humanity. When we pass from the screen of life, we should be able to look back and know that we made a difference. Well, Dallas and Catherine have already done so, before they have even graduated high school! They are to be congratulated for being such wonderful role models.
Please let them know that I, as a mother, am so grateful for the work they have done, and the tools they have provided to my 3 children to help protect themselves. If I could keep them safe every moment of every day, I would do so in a heartbeat. Of course, that is not possible and so they need to know how to help themselves. Again, thank you so very much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have tried to involve both my children in role playing situations so that they can think about what they are empowered to do in any difficult situation - - to think outside the box and to throw "respect" out the window if they are in danger of another person.
Your video sounds terrific!! I plan to show it to my kids' friends (with parental permission, of course), their parents, girl scout buddies, my friend who is a realtor who I worry about since she is around so many strangers in vacant homes. I'm a teacher and I work with lots of women who need this. One teacher I work with was attacked in a fast food parking lot in the middle of the day. She was knocked to the ground and mugged before she knew what hit her. I can think of so many people who would benefit by this dvd. God bless!
