A growing number of people are turning to self-defence to feel safe and self-confident. This book is a response to this increasing demand for quality, comprehensive instruction in basic to intermediate self-defense techniques. It also shows readers how to defend themselves from attacks in a car, on a plane, or in a restaurant using everyday items such as a book, magazine, hairbrush, or pen. A special section provides tips on how to mentally prepare oneself for a personal attack.
This introduction to practical self-defence presents techniques such as throws and takedowns, how to escape from holds and grabs, and how to ground oneself in order to resist an attack. Each technique is illustrated with photographs, making the book very easy to use.
