5	What is FAST? Fear Adrenal Stress Training
6	What is FAST? Fear – The #1 factor in successful self-defense is dealing with the Fear that naturally arises in a real attack. Adrenaline flooding spontaneously occurs with Fear in dangerous situations, shutting down higher brain function and activating the fight or flight syndrome. Stress is induced by Adrenaline flooding, impeding judgment, fine motor control & the ability to assess the threat and respond effectively! Training now exists which addresses Fear. It is affordable, accessible and provides the most effective self–defense skills available to handle today’s scary situations.
7	The FAST Defense Difference The complexity of the program spares it from imitators. While related systems often concentrate only on physical technique, FAST Defense also incorporates verbal self-defense and empowerment. Female students in particular benefit from the structured mind-body approach, which assists them in detecting threats before they occur. Should a confrontation transpire, however, they’re well-equipped with a variety of decisive response options. For FAST Defense students, fear is no longer the enemy; it is a resource for counterattack and survival.
