A Life Depends On It

About the Book

Self-defense is so much more than the execution of physical techniques. There is much information missing from traditional martial arts training programs. While almost all training programs provide a good physical workout, many fail to develop the knowledge and mindset necessary in dealing with police in the aftermath of a self-defense encounter. Many schools, also, fail to properly teach women's self-defense or provide any information regarding bullying--and what exactly constitutes bullying and by whom. This book attempts to address these and other questions pertaining to self-defense away from the practice studio.
