Description
"Advanced Self Defence" has been produced in response to the demand from men and women with some familiarity with the martial arts for a more advanced manual to allow them to apply and develop their skills in a practical way. It also provides invaluable guidance for those professionally involved in security work of some kind where the demands of the job require a more sophisticated understanding of self defence techniques - security guards, night watchmen, military personnel and the police. The book progresses logically from theory to general practice and thence to specific moves and evasion techniques. Weapons handling is dealt with for the first time, but in a sensitive and non-provocative way. "Advanced Self Defence" will be an essential reference work for all those with a good reason to want to know how to look after themselves in a tight corner.
