Description
Written by a former SAS Survival Instructor, SAS and Special Forces Self-Defence provides easy-to-follow, illustrated instructions on coping with all kinds of threatening situations, from muggings to knife attacks. The author teaches you strategies for both avoiding conflict and getting out of a dangerous situation quickly and safely.
Learn how mental attitude, body language, assertiveness, and the ability to overcome fear can prevent you from becoming a prime target for criminals. Learn which parts of the body are the most effective weapons in fending off an attacker, and which are the most likely targets for attack. Defend yourself from sudden grabs, strangles, weapons, and road rage. And find out how to deliver the SAS five-second knockout, a defence previously available only to British SAS Special Forces soldiers.
Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and instructive artworks and including expert advice throughout, SAS and Special Forces Self-Defence is a comprehensive guide to self-defence for both men and women.
