Free Worldwide Women Empowered Seminars on January 10, 2015!
On November 2, 2014, Carlesha Freeland-Gaither, a nurse’s assistant in Philadelphia, was violently abducted at 9:40pm. The entire incident was captured by surveillance cameras, and although the exposure of the footage helped authorities catch the perpetrator, it also sparked widespread concern among women everywhere. In this special edition Gracie Breakdown, Rener and Eve discuss the incident and provide valuable insight to help viewers understand the key attributes that enabled Carlesha to survive the abduction. Additionally, they introduce an essential self-defense concept called the “Bystander Intervention Score,” and explain how anyone can manipulate the score to increase their chance of survival during an abduction.
In the wake of this traumatic incident, Rener and Eve would like to sponsor Carlesha to come to California for an immersive Women Empowered training experience at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy. If anyone watching this video has any way of contacting Carlesha or her family, please have her email the Gracie Academy at info@GracieAcademy.com. Thank you for your help.
