Field Sales Representative

“This training is a must for any Pharmaceutical sales rep.  My territory includes some rough neighborhoods and I used to be nervous about making some of my routine calls.  About two months after the training I used the “In Touch” drill on a suspicious person and he simply walked away.  Now I tell everyone I know about your course! ”

Street Smarts – It’s more than walking with your head up and looking around for people who seem out of place. And while that is good advice it does not go far enough.

In this seminar, Dennis opens up the world on how street criminals think and plan, how they select their victims and how easy it is to blunt their efforts on the street, in parking lots, elevators even at your front door.

Girls Strike Back Classes teach women how to use their particular strengths to successfully fight off and defeat any attacker. These are practical and easy to remember techniques that can be learned in our 90 minute classes and can be applied to any situation.

Historically women have turned to martial arts studios hoping to learn how to defend themselves. Unfortunately, real attacks, the kind women face during a rape or street encounter, are vastly different from the highly stylized scenarios practiced at a martial arts studio. Women who have taken martial arts based classes tell us they froze during an encounter because the techniques did not apply to their situation.

At Girls Strike Back classes we understand men and women are often not on equal playing fields when it comes to size and strength. This new method of fighting back was created to level the playing field and give women the tools they need to survive. Our mission is to educate and empower women about how to win no matter what situation they face and the results are proven effective with nationwide success.
