Somewhere in America right now are four or five women who will be killed tomorrow. They are going about their day, and I know if they were prepared to counter attack in the ways Loren Christensen and Lisa Place teach, theyd have a far better chance of prevailing tomorrow. Gavin de Becker (from his Foreword), best-selling author of The Gift of Fear

Some experts say you should be submissive when attacked at home or by a stranger. You wont find that advice here, although you might use it as a ruse before you claw your assailants eyes and smash his groin. Your ultimate goal is to get away, but you dont achieve that by being meek and docile. You get away by drawing on that hardwired survival instinct to attack him like an enraged lioness protecting her babies.

In Self-Defense for Women:Fight Back, martial arts experts Loren W. Christensen and Lisa Place teach you to use your hands, forearms, elbows, teeth, knees, and feet to survive the attacks unsuspecting women become the victims of every day. And you will learn that youre surrounded by a limitless cache of weapons you can use to your advantage against a larger assailant.

  • How to recognize and assess a threat
  • How to de-escalate a bad situation
  • 7 basic defensive techniques any woman can use effectively
  • Advanced skills for when you want to know more
  • How to identify and use everyday objects as defensive weapons
  • What to practice to prepare for a potential confrontation
  • How to practice at home, alone, and with a partner
  • Why you need to be physically fit and how to make a fitness plan
  • How to use fear as a weapon
  • The power of your mind and how to harness it for self-defense

If youre ready to learn to fight back, Loren and Lisa know exactly what you need to survive an attack in your home or on the street.

Self-defense in the News
One night in our city, Portland, Oregon, 51-year-old nurse Susan Kuhnhausen returned home after an evening working the emergency room in one of our hospitals. She had taken only a couple of steps into her dark house before an intruder, armed with a claw hammer, charged at her from a side room and smashed the tool into her skull. Incredibly, not only did she not lose consciousness, she began to fight the man who had been hired by her husband to kill her. They struggled in a furious battle all about the room and on the floor, punching and kicking each other in violent desperation. At one point, the nurse managed to take away the hammer from the hitman and slammed its steel head into his bones and tissue as he chewed on her flesh like a manic animal.
Mrs. Kuhnhausen, who outweighed the hitman by pounds and had been fighting violent patients in the ER for years, fought her way behind the now frantic man, and wrapped her arm around his neck. He struggled with ferocity against her powerful hold but she continued constricting breath from his lungs and vital blood to his brain. With each passing second, he grew weaker and weaker until first his brain slipped into unconsciousness and then his heart ceased to beat.
Death by strangulation, the autopsy report would read.
During the trial, in which her husband would be sentenced to years for his role in the attempted murder, Susan Kuhnhausen, who had taken the stand, leaned toward him, and said calmly, If I ever, ever believed that you deserved to be dead, I would of at least had the balls to kill you myself.

About the Authors
Foreword by Gavin de Becker
Gavin de Becker is the best-selling author of The Gift of Fear, the most widely read self-defense book in the world. His books have been featured in Time and and many times on The Oprah Winfrey including a special hour-long episode which commemorated the 10th anniversary of the publication of The Gift of His books are now published in fourteen languages. He can be contacted at
The primary goal of this book is to teach people to survive a violent physical encounter. The exchange of energy between aggressor and defender cannot be fully appreciated from the comfort and distance of wherever you are reading these words. In actual attacks, events are absorbed through every sense, taken in via taste, smell, touch, and through the skin, literally. Thats all the more reason we can benefit so much from having good information in advance.
Human beings arent natural fighters; we didnt get the sharpest claws or strongest jaws or fastest legs. We got the biggest brainsand Loren Christensen and Lisa Christensen offer much-needed teaching on how the brain and body can work together toward the goal of prevailing in an attack. Loren has been a teacher of survival strategies since 1965, hes authored over books and this one puts it all together for the audience that needs it most: Women.
Why do women need it most? Because women are victimized most often, and because our culture has prepared women least effectively. The culture has sold the (false) idea that survival is always more likely if you do what a predator tells you to do, if you submit. Women have been persuaded to believe that violence is a mystery that can be understood only by men.
Perhaps more than anything else offered in these pages is the gift of practicality and reality, ways to avoid offensive and unwanted advances and confrontations in everyday situations. This book details physical, non-verbal warning signs to help readers detect danger through behavioral cues. Youll learn skills used by warriors, and see that you too can be a warrior when you need to be. Youll see that you dont have to relinquish your control to a predator, that you can physically resisteven if youve spent years thinking youd better not.
Trained for decades to interact with men in ways that serve the patriarchy, readers who fully absorb the information here can say No when they choose to. And I mean say No with muscles as well as words.
Safety starts with knowing that your intuition about people is a brilliant guardian. Listening to intuition really means listening to yourself. Like everyone, youve had scores of experiences when you listened and were later grateful, and scores of experiences when you chose not to listen, and were later regretful. I cant say it any more clearly than this: To protect yourself, you must believe in yourself. Nothing will encourage that belief more than knowing you are prepared.
