There is no shortage of self-defense advice on social media—but not all of it is practical.
In this video, Scot reviews an instructional clip that suggests using a cell phone to stop a front choke. He explains the limitations of that approach and demonstrates a more effective escape based on sound self-defense principles and proven techniques.
One of the goals of our Women’s Self-Defense Seminar is to help you separate internet myths from practical skills that you can actually use. You’ll learn simple, realistic techniques in a safe, supportive environment while building confidence and awareness.

The most important self-defense tool isn’t a technique—it’s your mindset.
In this video, Scot discusses how to think through a self-defense situation and how to choose the response that best fits the circumstances. Good self-defense isn’t about knowing hundreds of techniques. It’s about making sound decisions under pressure and understanding when and how to act.
At our Women’s Self-Defense Seminar, you’ll learn more than physical skills. You’ll gain practical strategies, situational awareness, and the confidence to make better decisions when it matters most.
