What sets us apart from other ‘Self Defense’ Companies?
We would like to say our passion or mission. However, we know there are other companies, groups and organizations that share our passion and mission for ending human, sex trafficking and violent assaults. What truly sets us apart is HOW we plan to do that. Our systems have been developed based on the specific information gathered during our interviews and case studies of predatory methods. In addition to education and awareness, we seek to prevent assaults before they occur.
Our Prevention Education “Inside the Mind of a Predator” series is a high-impact training that provides solutions for two major issues; the lack of in-depth education into the mindset and methods of sexual predators, and identifying their manipulation, luring, and coercion tactics.
In order to provide an effective form of self-defense, we first had to understand the methods of predators, who they are, how they manipulate, groom, lure, coerce, assault, and or abduct.
After extensive research including the interviews, IDTS found concrete evidence that predators use specific methods to gain access to their victims based on motive. They also used specific control points and carry methods to assault and or abduct their victim; even more interesting is the fact that their methods did not vary, the methods were the same across the board.
The predator interviews also disclosed that rapists and abductors were waiting for a woman or child to use a technique used in traditional self-defense, stating that they knew the techniques that would be used against them, including the eye gauge, foot stomp, groin kick, etc… and that they knew how to control the victims who were using these techniques, rendering those who used traditional self-defense, basic rape defense techniques mostly unable to effectively defend themselves in a brutal and chaotic attack.
Interviews of convicted rapists found that lack of resistance from the victim became consent in the mind of the rapist and the lack of self-defense from the victim encouraged the rapist. The interviews also revealed consistently that resistance to sexual assault is much more effective than passive response, such as crying and pleading which may even encourage the attacker as they feel empowered. Sex is NOT the main motive for rape. It is, the way for a rapist to release anger and power.
Our Anti-Assault Training is a non-traditional full contact system that has been formulated with specific core techniques that have been tested and proven effective to break the abduction & assault methods of predators and stops the predator from completing the attack and or removing the victim to a secondary location.
Each system is broken into phases to ensure proper understanding and implementation of the techniques, and are taught in real-life assault & abduction scenarios that break the assault & abduction patterns of the predator allowing the victim to defend themselves in a brutal assault.
The military prepares for battle before the battle occurs. A police officer wears a bulletproof vest for protection in case he is shot. Our systems are strategic active forms of self-defense, 90% of assaults can be prevented.

There are many self-defense products on the market today, such as pepper sprays & stun guns. Today we are going to be debunking some myths around the effectiveness of some of these products by discussing their ineffectiveness.
Myth: Pepper Spray is the best cost effective self defense tool.
Facts: Pepper Sprays have expiration dates so you will have to re-purchase or risk the spray no longer being effective at all. They also cost around the same or more in most cases compared to the Punisher Self Defense Glove. In addition, below are 3 reasons they are ineffective as a product.
Myth: Stun Guns or Tasers are the quickest way to stop an attack, that’s why even cops use them.
Facts: In many cases, stun guns or tasers do not have enough power to actually stop an attack which is why police use them as a non lethal option only but require other, more deadly options such as a real gun. They also have to be applied to skin so something as simple as a thick jacket could stop these. In addition, below are 5 more reasons they are ineffective as a whole.
Myth: A gun (firearm) has almost no down sides and are hands down the most effective means of self defense.
Facts: Don’t get us wrong, carrying a gun is great for some types of protection. IDTS itself has encouraged, hosted and will continue to host firearm courses for women. For instance if you can see the assailant coming at you, or in a carjacking attempt, or a home invasion etc. However a gun is ineffective if you are assaulted from the rear like if you are jogging or walking to your car.
According to research 80% of assaults against women are blitz attacks, victims are approached from the rear and the victims are taken to the ground, 10% are approached from the front and 10% are lured into dangerous situations. From this, we can reasonably assume you won’t have enough time to react and draw your firearm in many cases when women are being attacked.
There are multiple real options for self defense but being honest about their advantages and disadvantages in real life scenarios is crucial. In our experience, The Punisher Self Defense Glove is the ultimate Kubaton self-defense product. Unlike a gun, you can wear it in a ready position comfortably and don’t have to worry about drawing or dropping it.
Kubatons are non-lethal weapons; they are maximum pain-inducing weapons used to minimize the risk of casualties and are less likely to kill a target. However, there are issues with Kubatons as individual weapons. Sexual assaults and or abductions happen fast, they are chaotic and brutal that leaves the potential of losing the Kubaton during the fight.
We have designed and patented The Punisher Self Defense Glove to hold the Kubaton securely in your hand during the fight so that you can effectively defend yourself. The Punisher Self Defense Glove features a one size fits all design, it’s easy to conceal, and there is “no right or wrong strike” which makes this a powerful weapon in defending yourself!
Situational awareness is the use of the sensory system to scan the environment. The purpose of this is to identify threats in the present or to project those threats into the near future.
Applying Situational Awareness is simple, in real-world, scenarios like being able to make adjustments to what you are doing, like changing your body language, behavior, or location, to be safe.
Color Codes are a great way to remember levels of Situational Awareness. Here are the Alert Conditions:
Condition White:
This is the baseline in America, people are unaware, “tuned out” – listening to music, texting, talking on a cell phone, they don’t see danger coming. This is not where you want to be.
Condition Yellow: People-watching
You want to be in condition yellow when you’re in a public or unfamiliar place, or in the presence of unknown individuals. You are in a relaxed state being aware of your surroundings. learn to identify exits and possible weapons. This condition allows you to be proactive. this condition is not being on edge or having a hair trigger but allows you to execute a plan of action before a situation.
Condition Orange:
Condition orange is what happens when something has made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It could be something that your subconscious mind has picked up that your conscious mind hasn’t. This is the time for flight, get out of there if possible. Trust “gut” instincts.
Condition Red:
When something has triggered, you have now gone from orange to red this is when the only thing left to do is FIGHT, you will be in the fight for your life. One of the most important things you can do during this time is BREATHE.
Unfortunately, we can’t stop a predator’s intention to attack, but we can limit his opportunity to fulfill the act. The military prepares for battle before the battle occurs, they prepare in anticipation of an attack. A police officer wears a bulletproof vest for protection in case he is shot. This is a strategic active form of defense; we must prepare to defend ourselves in anticipation of an assault. This is done through situational awareness and active self-defense. If we know who the predator is and how they think and act we can effectively avoid and or defend ourselves from their methods of assault.
It can not be stated enough: Be aware of your surroundings, look for exits in case of an emergency, become a people watcher, learn to read body language, 90% of self-protection is about self-awareness.
Before a situation presents itself self-think about what you might do to protect yourself or your children, you must commit to yourself in your mind that you will fight if need be. If you are faced with a situation DON’T PANIC, quickly analyze the situation and move.
