Model Mugging is a form of self-defense training that uses padded instructors, known as "Model Muggers", to simulate assaults. It was founded by Matt Thomas, and developed by Danielle Smith, Julio Toribio, Sheryl Doran and Mark Morris. Its inspiration was the 1971 rape and beating of a karate black belt.〔Representing Rape: Model Mugging's Discursive and Embodied Performances Shannon Jackson TDR (1988-), Vol. 37, No. 3 (Autumn, 1993), pp. 110-141 〕 Model Mugging attempts to turn the adrenaline reaction to an active response rather than a fear response through simulated attacks and group talk sessions. == Techniques and training == Model mugging training involves students role-playing and sometimes fighting through a variety of assault scenarios. Students are taught physical defenses, methods of avoiding or defusing potential assaults, verbal defenses, and decision-making under the pressure of such situations.〔American Fitness, Nov-Dec, 1992 by Catherine Gockley (me roar: "Model Mugging" self-defense courses teach women to fight back under attack and win )〕 During the simulated assaults, heavily padded instructors, often referred to as ''muggers,'' accost, grab, or directly attack a student, who may respond (if they believe a physical response is appropriate for the situation) with full-force attacks to the padded instructor. The emotionally charged nature of the scenarios combined with the full-force nature of the fighting tend to create an adrenalized state〔 similar to that of someone facing a real assault. The adrenalized nature of the training is intended to teach the student how to think clearly and respond in adrenalized situations.〔Scripps Magazine by Allison Ryan (Take That!
