Survival Self Defense and Tactical Kubotan: Essential Tips, Facts, and Techniques to Save Your Life

This handbook is based on three primary concepts that could save your life: Situational awareness—that is, awareness and evaluation of your immediate situation and surroundings. The ability to control fear—science states that we cannot, nor would we want to, eliminate fear. But through mental training that anyone can master, fear can be channeled into effective responses to threats. Knowledge of self-defense techniques—specific self-defense techniques that, when applied with intention, will disable an attacker long enough for you to escape. Through scenarios described from both the victim and mugger's points of view, you'll understand how and why situational awareness, channeling fear, and learning specific self-defense techniques work. In your journey to remain safe and to become empowered you'll need specifics. Survival Self-Defense includes detailed explanation and illustrations of the five body weapons and how they can be used to attack key vulnerable body targets. You'll also learn the five most prevalent self-defense myths and why they won’t work. Written by a martial arts and self-defense instructor of over 40 years, this book isn't about violence or paranoia, it's about the cultivation of empowerment for the purpose of personal safety.
