Finalist 2010 Book of the Year Award by ForeWord MagazineFinalist
2010 USA Best Book Award The Little Black Book of Violence will arm
you with the knowledge and good sense to make informed choices in
hazardous situations. While some yahoo spewing insults about your
favorite sports team is worlds apart from a drug-crazed lunatic
lunging at you with a sharp knife in his hands and bloodlust in his
eyes, there is a large gray area in between these two extremes
where hard and fast rules do not always apply. This is where
wisdom, oftentimes hard-earned wisdom, makes the difference between
good decisions and bad ones. Every time you engage in violence, no
matter how small or trivial it may appear to be at the time, it has
the potential of escalating into something extraordinarily serious.
What is really worth fighting for when you might find yourself
spending the rest of your life behind bars, confined to a
wheelchair, or trying to dig yourself out of bankruptcy from
beneath the crushing weight of a civil lawsuit? It is important to
ask yourself, Is this really worth fighting over? While in some
instances the response could legitimately be Yes, more often than
not it ought to be No. More than mere techniques, this book fills
in crucial information about street survival that most martial arts
instructors don t teach or even know. You will learn how to use
awareness, avoidance, and de-escalation to help stave off violence.
Despite the best intentions, however, you may still find yourself
in situations where you have no choice but to fight and others
where it is prudent to do so. Consequently you will also learn
smart things you might want to try and dumb things you should
attempt to avoid during a physical confrontation. In addition to
learning strategies and techniques for defending yourself on the
street you will also learn how to manage the aftermath of violence,
including performing first aid, interacting with law enforcement,
managing witnesses, finding a good attorney, navigating the legal
system, dealing with the press, and overcoming psychological
trauma. Men, who commit about 80 percent of all violent crimes, are
twice as likely to become victims of aggressive behavior as women.
While written primarily for this at-risk demographic, this
comprehensive tome is essential reading for anyone who regularly
deals with violence, thinks they may encounter a hostile situation,
or who simply wants to increase their ability to survive a
dangerous encounter.
