Michael Malandra
The goal of REACT Programs is to teach women how
to avoid becoming victims of random acts of violence and abduction
and how to react if confronted by a hostile situation. Each
situation is different, but we have developed specific methods that
can help women stay safe by using basic, instinctual human reactions
and a plan of action. Participants do not need any special martial
arts background or specific strength or size. REACT Programs teach
individuals through awareness, voice commands and interactive
role-playing. We empower our participants by giving them the basic
safety tools they need to stay safe. Learn about the REACT program,
learn some safety tips and participate in some demonstrations.
Michael Malandra is Co-Founder of REACT
Programs with Walter S. Goldman. Michael is a well-respected
Personal Safety Expert and currently travels throughout the United
