Thanks to Google Books, four articles featuring the self-defense work of Harley SwiftDeer Reagan, co-founder of DTMMS, are now available online.
In 1978, Richard Zimmerman wrote a 3-part series for Black Belt Magazine called “Assault on Rape” featuring Reagan’s research and self-defense techniques developed specifically for women of all ages and abilities to defend against the most common types of attacks. Part I was published in April, Part II in May, and Part III in June of 1978.

- Assault on Rape, Part II – May 1978 – see page 24
- Assault on Rape, Part III – June 1978 – see page 14
Then in September of 1978, Harley Reagan and Mary Albee co-wrote Practical Self-Defense, also published in Black Belt (see page 59).
Very cool! Harley’s kind of like the female Billy-Jack from back in the day.

Well, yes – except he’s not female. He’s the Uke (attacker) in these photos. But we agree – very cool!
