Fight Like a Girl (FLAG) -- This is the most popular course taught in the series. It is centered on the "Stay with People" principle and covers the most common sexual assault scenarios. (*Sexual assault scenarios means the student will actually learn how to escape from the very same positions in which rapists carry out their attacks.) This module is especially effective for attacks in parking lots, parking garages and other areas where it is imperative that you not be taken to a secondary location where you can be raped and murdered. The innovative method developed here is to start students in the worst position possible -- the attacker has you pinned on the ground and is in between your thighs. (Once this concept is mastered, all of the other attacks seem easy by comparison.) Students learn to effectively defend against this position as well as chokes, hits, and grabs. They learn to escape the dreaded and deadly "blitz" attack from behind as well as how to defend their space and keep an attacker from conducting a successful "interview".

Hello Cory,

I just wanted to thank you for everything. All the instructors were great.

It's always nice to meet good people, especially when you are new to Phoenix :)

What you do is great! I feel much more safe and confident, and planning to attend classes once in a while to practice what you have taught me. You, guys, have extremely positive energy in the school. I did not want to leave today :)

thank you very very much!

Hi Cory,

I thought your class last night was invaluable! I simply can't thank you enough for offering it! I wrote the entire Vineyard Christian Church MOPS group this morning to encourage them to attend!

The class was incredibly informational and Cory K. kept things light. The moves he taught to defend yourself and escape being a victim of a violent crime were invaluable. I can not urge enough that if you are signed up for Thursday, October 18th to GO!

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! Get the skills the Lord gave each of us ladies to be empowered to NOT BE A VICTIM!

Just wanted to encourage you ladies to consider this life changing class!

Hi all I also went to this class and it was sooooo worth it. I came home and showed my husband and told him that ALL of the girls in my family are going to be taking THIS class. I learned so many amazing moves, how to get out of so many other holds and positions also. It was great. i encourage all of you ladies to take the class!!!

Thank you so much Cory!

I can't begin to tell you how much great feedback I
have already received about the 2 classes! I just
loved it tonight and have honestly never felt more
powerful and also for the first time in a long time, I
have the desire to get my body stronger (especially my
legs!).

The tools you gave us will definately stick with us
and make us smarter and more confident in scary
situations!

You are an excellent instructor and the moves that you taught to defend yourself and escape were invaluable. I look forward to going to another advanced class in the future.

Thanks Cory for a great class!

I participated in the Fight like a Girl class already and had a great experience, it was interesting, educational, and I learned a new skill.

The instructor was very professional and raised some awareness about the importance of knowing how to react in a critical situation to which any woman could be exposed.

I definitively recommend this training to mothers and teens.

I thought the class was GREAT--so worthwhile, and I really appreciate
Cory letting us beat him up for real. I have taken many self-defense
classes, but none as practical as this one, and none where the teacher
actually put on full-body pads and told you to really KICK! Excellent.
Thanks so much for arranging the opportunity for us to take this at the
church!

My adreniline is still going, and it's the next day already.
I just wished other ladies would have signed up. Every woman needs to be
trained like this!!

--

The class was terrific. I appreciated all of the practice time...that was
seriously lacking last time I took a self-defense class. Cory's manner was
professional, non-threatening, and light in the face of serious and scary
situations. I had the scenario I faced two years ago in my head the whole
time and kept assessing how I would have done things differently. I left
with a sense of empowerment and am SO glad you were able to make room for me
at the last minute. Thank you!!! And thanks to Val for sharing her
family's gifts with us. And of course to Cory for providing the
instruction, feedback, and body parts to aim for!

I loved the class, I felt very confident walking this morning after that class last night. Cory was an excellent teacher and the moves that were taught to defend yourself and escape were invaluable. I hope that we can schedule another advanced class with Cory.

--

I left with some very helpful techniques should I ever be put in that situation. And I will definitely share this with my daughter.

--

I really enjoyed the whole subject of the class which was “fight like a girl”. He didn’t just go the “typical” defense moves. He threw in some new techniques that I have never seen or heard of before.

--

I would definitely have them back. Cory seemed very knowledgeable and the both of them were very patient. That is always a plus with a wild group like ours!

--

I enjoyed it because it was interactive, Because of that it gives you another level of confidence. I felt “Drop and Kick” is something most us will remember even under duress.

Yes, I believe every female employee should be encouraged to take this class. Many times we find ourselves leaving late and there is no one available to walk us to our cars.

--
Learning that just because I am girl, I can still defend myself from harm.

--

I have never been to a class like this were there was physical contact and after the first training I really did like learning hands on. All in all for me it was a good class
