Ontario, Canada, April 05, 2010 (PressReleasePoint) -- Safe International are Canada's experts in self defense training. Safe International has expanded its marketing campaign in Ontario to include young women and men who are going away to college/university because "Four out of five female undergraduates recently surveyed at Canadian universities said that they had been victims of violence in a dating relationship"

For so many parents, it will be their child's first time away from home, and they will be involved in scenarios they have never experienced before. By giving them some just four hours of self defense tools, they will be much more prepared to deal with a conflict on both a psychological and physical level.

Of that 80% of young women who had become victims of violence in a dating relationship, only 29% reported the incident of sexual assault. Why is this number so high? Young women and men are put into a completely new environment which commonly involves alcohol, drugs including date rape drugs, and brand new relationships with complete strangers. They are left to make decisions they have never made before with the pressures of "fitting in" and making new friends. This along with being alone for the first time, commonly leads to poor decisions with sometimes bad consequences.

A staggering statistic which should alarm all parents is that in a recent survey on date rape showed that "60% of Canadian college-aged males indicated that they would commit sexual assault if they were certain they would not get caught". This statistic alone should convince mothers and fathers to have their daughters and sons learn some basic self defense skills. http://www.safeinternational.biz has taught more than 100 000 women and men in the high school environment, including students who are going away to college/university. The reason they have become the number one choice for most, is that they do not teach martial arts, but rather, a practical approach to personal safety which involves not only the physical skills of self defense, but, most importantly, the psychological side with an emphasis on preventative measures. Effective self defense skills can be learned in as little as four hours.

The majority of date and acquaintance rape victims are young women aged 16 to 24. http://www.safeinternational.biz offers instruction aimed exactly at this age group and can be contacted for seminars throughout the summer, whether at someone's home or with a group of friends in the backyard. Each participant may receive a DVD with particular strategies on how to not look like a victim, how to use your intuition and awareness skills to avoid trouble, the dangers of elevators, stairs, public transportation, being followed, dating, etc. The instructors at Safe International also address the common strategies an attacker will use to distract a potential victim. For lots of further tips and information you can go to Chris Roberts blog at http://www.selfdefensecanada.info Chris Roberts is the owner of Safe International.

The majority of Canadian colleges and universities have great safety programs for the students including escort programs. There is no substitute for young women and men learning these self defense skills for themself in the event that they are confronted with conflict or violence. You can contact Chris Roberts at info@safeinternational.biz or visit his website at http://www.safeinternational.biz to learn how just four hours of self defense instruction could potentially save your daugher's or son's life.
