In addition there is some attention given in the beginning to explaining the difference in some of the styles of fighting arts out there to help educate a beginner in honing in on what may best suit that individual. And while no book or video can take the place of actual training, it provides a good base of simple techniques in a pinch, and a good foundation to somebody that may be interested in expanding their education in the future. Having studied several styles myself, I still like to refer back to this book as a way to use those basics to tie everything together. The final thing that I liked about this book was the author's tone and style of writing. I have read some material from other authors that has come across as overly dogmatic, even to the point of being condescending or could be perceived as intimidating to somebody new to the subject. Mr. Pierce presents his material clearly and in a lighter, more casual tone. He impresses the importance of education and awareness in self defense while also stressing the importance of staying positive. Well done. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not for me as I have other books. *by G***Y on April 21, 2020* If you have other books about common sense self defense that shows some blows and blocks then you really don't need another one. I don't know you who is reading this but if this is going to be your first book on the subject then this would be a good book for you. It's easy to read and understand. Has pictures to accompany the text. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ get ready *by J***N on August 22, 2014* this book as stated on the cover is an easy and effective self protection manual regardless of your size, age , skill. as someone who has taken years of martial arts i found this book to be well written, actions clearly demonstrated with pictures and full of useful advice on how to not be a victim and if it is inevitable, how to effectively retaliate and escape. there are chapters on strikes you can use such as fist, open palm, fingers, knee, foot and elbow and vulnerable body parts to use them against. there is info on weapon defense against guns, knife and bat and chapters on body conditioning. as stated by the author phil pierce you stand a greater chance of being injured by a popping champagne cork then a deranged psycho on the street but if you are, you stand a better chance of surviving if you practice the techniques in this book. whether you are a novice in self defense or have previous instruction, you and your loved ones can benefit from this book.
