AwardHonorable Mention - 2012 Eric Hoffer Award Seven Steps to
Legal, Emotional and Physical Preparation This book stands alone as
an introduction to the context of self-defense. There are seven
elements that must be addressed to bring self-defense training to
something approaching complete. Any training that dismisses any of
these areas leaves you vulnerable. 1. Legal and ethical
implications. A student learning self-defense must learn force law.
Otherwise it is possible to train to go to prison. Side by side
with the legal rules, every student must explore his or her own
ethical limitations. Most do not really know where this ethical
line lies within them. 2. Violence dynamics. Self-defense must
teach how attacks happen. Students must be able to recognize an
attack before it happens and know what kind they are facing. 3.
Avoidance. Students need to learn and practice not fighting.
Learning includes escape and evasion, verbal de-escalation, and
also pure-not-be there avoidance. 4. Counter-ambush. If the student
didn t see the precursors or couldn t successfully avoid the
encounter he or she will need a handful of actions trained to
reflex level for a sudden violent attack. 5. Breaking the freeze.
Freezing is almost universal in a sudden attack. Students must
learn to recognize a freeze and break out of one. 6. The fight
itself. Most martial arts and self-defense instructors concentrate
their time right here. What is taught just needs to be in line with
how violence happens in the world. 7. The aftermath. There are
potential legal, psychological, and medical effects of engaging in
violence no matter how justified. Advanced preparation is critical.
Any teacher or student of self-defense, anyone interested in
self-defense, and any person who desires a deeper understanding of
violence needs to read this book.
