This book aims to provide the general listener and the martial arts enthusiast with a practical approach and understanding of the development of a personal protection system. Self-defense on the streets is a contrast when compared to the way one thinks, trains, and acts within the confines of a training hall. Self-defense is not so much about technique as it is about seconds! Both in how one will react or diffuse a situation without the need for violence!
