If you are looking at self-defence for the first time or are an
experienced martial artist that wants to add to your knowledge,
then 'Principles of Self Defence' is the book you need. Have you
ever been in a fight? have you ever had to really hit somebody? The
chances are, for many of us that live in peaceful law-abiding
countries, that the answer would be no, never. Despite this the
fear of assault is part of everyday life and we all ask ourselves
what if? Most self-defence books available assume a level of
physical strength and experience in conflict such as serving in the
police, military or working security. What if you have never been
in a fight, are not physical fit or are being mentally and
physically abused? Alessandro has used his 27 years of martial arts
experience to strip away any reliance on physical strength or
combat experience to create simple but very effective techniques.
Importantly he looks at what it is to be a victim and how to train
the mind to win the mental battle. Training in self-defence
maximises your chances of survival through focused training of your
mind, body and spirit. This holistic approach is the focus of first
part of the book that examines what constitutes self-defence, its
history and its core principles, what is an assault, both physical
and mental, and the victim mentality. How to develop coping
strategies to optimise decision making when under extreme stress,
avoid physical assault and when necessary to take the initiative if
violence is unavoidable. The second part of 'Principles of
self-defence' forms the basis of a step by step training program,
giving you confidence through the safe simulation. Strikes, grabs,
chokes, bear hugs, headlocks and rape scenarios, in the technical
section, provides you a fully illustrated reference guide that can
be referred to throughout your self-defence or martial arts
journey.
