This is not a book about fighting. Indeed, most of it is about finding ways
of not fighting, not having to fight, and (best of all) not being in a situation
where there is any threat of violence at all. True, later sections do deal
with the mechanics of violent self-defence, and many readers will have
already skipped there to see what’s on offer. This book, however, is for
those whose primary interest is in staying or getting out of trouble without
violence.
The author teaches self-defence
seminars across the continent. Past experience includes boxing,
kick boxing, Wado Ryu karate, and he currently teaches tai-jitsu, ju-jitsu
and aiki-jitsu.
