What would you do when threatened on the street? How would you cope with an assailant trying to hurt you or your loved ones? How to Defend Yourself will teach you everything you need to know when dealing with unexpected attacks and assaults. There is no right or wrong way to defend yourself, only what works. This concise guide includes advice on targets and vulnerable points; combat stance and movement; dealing with punches and grabs; breaking wrist holds and strangles; blocks, deflections and evasions; pre-emptive strikes, elbow hits and knee strikes; and how to defend yourself if you get knocked down.
Written in easy-to-understand steps and accompanied by clear illustrations, How to Defend Yourself teaches realistic self-defence techniques that can be applied in everyday situations.
