The Ultimate Guide to Personal Protection

" Martial arts can teach people many important lessons about discipline, conditioning, and dedication. But as an effective means of self-defense and survival in brutal, real-world attacks, almost all martial arts come up short. This is because most self-defense applications of martial arts rely on patterned, choreographed techniques that have no relation to the chaos and randomness that rules during life-and-death fights. Attack Proof offers a dramatically different kind of self-defense system that really works. It's based on the insights, real-world experiences, and forensic research of John Perkins, a New York cop who teaches hand-to-hand combat to military and police instructors. A survivor of over 100 documented armed and unarmed violent encounters, Perkins also engaged in unlicensed pit-fights and was a bodyguard with an international clientele. Revolutionary in its approach, the book helps you to become a master of random motion, or ""guided chaos,"" where you create a defense during attacks using principles of movement and physics. These principles are taught through many drills and exercises, which focus on improving balance, looseness, sensitivity, and power. This book provides a wide selection of basic to advanced tactics and principles with nearly 200 accompanying photographs that show correct positioning and maneuvers. You learn what to do and what not to do in potentially life-threatening situations, including muggings, carjackings, abductions, knife fights, and gunfights. Plus, the authors back up their teaching with illuminating real-world anecdotes. Attack Proof is essential for anyone interested in personal safety. If you are already trained in a particular martial art, you will dramatically enhance your combat skills. If you practice tai chi, you may discover secrets that have long eluded you. If you are a novice, you will learn the basics of survival while improving your coordination, timing, and balance. Protect yourself by being prepared for the unexpected and become a martial ""realist."" Visit AttackProof.com for more information. "

A Novel

An impossible case. A killer secret. And a lawyer who will not rest until she finds the truth...

When a young woman accuses college-football superstar Blaine Hastings of sexual assault, the DNA evidence against him is overwhelming. Yet the athlete swears his innocence and threatens both his lawyer and his accuser. When a second attack occurs, DNA findings once again point to Hastings. The only problem? Hastings was in prison when the crime was committed.

"The pacing is impeccable." --Booklist


Soon Hastings is granted a new trial and bail. Then his original lawyer disappears--and his law partner is found dead. Who is behind these crimes--and who will be the next target? These are the questions that Robin Lockwood, a young lawyer and former MMA fighter, intends to answer. She is representing the victim of the first attack, who is convinced that Hastings is stalking her. Is he the one behind these acts of intimidation? Meanwhile, another one of Robin's clients is up on a murder charge--one that should be dismissed as self-defense but is being brought to trial. Is there a link between these two cases? Now Robin must find a way to see that justice is served...and not end up a victim in the process.

Self-Defense Nerve Centers and Pressure Points is a practical guide to the most effective weaponless self-defense using the least possible force and selecting the lowest-risk-of-injury body targets. Addressing himself to the individual who has basic or moderate skill, Mr. Tegner explains how and why vulnerable body areas can be used for street defense. He discusses the importance of understanding the possible and probable effects of hitting at various body areas. He introduces modern knowledge and a modern vocabulary to a subject which has been obscured by myth and legend. He evaluates the so-called "deadly" blows and the "secrets" of the fighting arts in terms of acceptable scientific evidence and the reality of human anatomy. He corrects misconceptions about where and how to strike blows for practical self-defense as opposed to point targets used in stylized martial arts and contest matches. Students of any style of any of the martial arts specialties and teachers of self-defense and sport skills will find much valuable source material in this book. Book jacket.
