PROTECTING YOUR LIFE
T o my family, who built the nest, told me I had the wings to fly, and trusted that I could achieve my dreamsI would not be who I am if not for your love and support. For all who inspired me throughout this journey, I offer you my gratitude and respect. I recall every moment of support vividly, and I want to thank those who believed in me along the wayyour generosity of spirit has helped me find the place where I can share this method with the world. To my literary agent, Joy Tutela, and my editors at Penguin, Megan Newman and Gigi Campo, for seeing this vision throughI could not have done this without you. To the one man who endured the impact of every combative featured in this bookthank you, George, for your physical and emotional generosity. To Tammy, I am forever grateful for your unwavering support. To Richard and Amy, thank you for your support, guidance, and belief in the causefrom the outset. Moran Cerf, thank you for your time consulting with me on the neuroscience of our minds. Dax, thank you for being my rock. To every one of my studentsI am honored and humbled by your achievements. All of you give me the extra strength to move forward, as you have all touched my spirit in a special and unique way.
I had always subscribed to the belief that women were far more likely to be victimized by men because they were physically weaker and thus ill-equipped to defend themselves. This was nonsense that, I suppose, was further perpetuated by my love of movieswhere, time and time again, I was offered examples of the classic damsel in distress. It wasnt until I met Avital Zeisler and was introduced to her unique method of self-defense, the Soteria Method, that my perceptions were forever changed. Theres no clearer way to say this (and I hope I dont lose anyone by speaking so technically), but Avital is a genuine badass. She emboldened me beyond my wildest expectations by teaching me simple mechanical techniques and combative wisdom that more than make up for any physical disadvantage. In short, she turned me into a badass. The Soteria Method is exclusively for the female defender and works for women of all ages and sizes. It helps you to build an effective and intuitive survival mindset that ensures your ability to use the concepts and strategies under pressure. Learning Avitals method has actually made me less paranoid and more confidently aware.
In addition to learning how to physically defend myself, I was surprised by my gains in mental acuity and my reduction of anxiety. Avitals Soteria Method gave me an increased level of confidence, which resonates in my daily life. Its also a serious workout. Avitals personal journey is intertwined in her method and profoundly illustrates how women can gain strength to overcome any attack, setback, or negative experienceand to live the best life possible.
Avitals story is a fascinating one. She is incredibly brave for sharing it. It is her personal experience of surviving a sexual assault and becoming such a highly respected self-defense instructor that gives the Soteria Method such strength, purity, and authenticity. Here, embedded in her ethos, youll find a unique set of benefits for women of every age, state of mind, and physical capability.
I believe that every woman should know the Soteria Method. Life is too precious to not want to get the most out of it, so strive for happiness and solace. The physical and mental benefits of learning Avitals method will be apparent shortly after a commitment to her program. The empowerment that you feel will last a lifetime.
AMANDA SEYFRIED
YOUR MISSION
REDEFINING SELF-DEFENSE FOR WOMEN
I was told that I was too tall to be a classical ballerina. I was told that I had too much muscle in my calves to be a model. I was told that I didnt have a deep-enough six-pack when I participated in a fitness competition for athletic routines. My body never fit societys molds for the passions I wanted to pursue. Being judged on each and every physical attribute, rather than who I was as an individual, sometimes made me feel like a prisoner to my appearance. But deep inside, no matter what anyone said, I had a drive to find my place in the world, and a dream to nurture a creative outlet where I could express who I was and what happiness meant to me.
When I was young, I always considered happiness a given. I was totally immersed in the world of dance, got good grades, and maintained my focus on being the best dancer and student I could be. I felt invincible, safe, loved, supported, and cherished by my family and friends. I was completely unaware that bad things could happen to me. Even when a neighbor surprised me on my driveway by telling me that I was his honey, all I had to do was tell my father. He immediately marched over to the neighbors house and made sure that was the last time this neighbor came anywhere near me or our property, or the police would be called. Within this cocoon of security, I nourished my ambition.
