Written by Detective Curt Brannan, Seventh Degree Black Belt. Edited by Richard Morris, Ninth Degree Black Belt.

"This book was developed as a comprehensive manual on the fundamentals of self-defense that my students and their parents, police officers and their children or anyone else can learn. The techniques have been demonstrated outside of the karate school in a format depicting real-life situations. Since children are the most vulnerable to "bullying," I have also chosen to use young students to demonstrate the various techniques.

Whether young or old, male or female, the techniques are equally effective. If you are a parent working with your child, a teacher, business executive, or a veteran police officer, developing skill in basic self-defense techniques will enable you to better defend yourself.

This book discusses and demonstrates effective and easy to learn techniques of escape and protecting yourself in the event of a violent attack. The techniques discussed are some of the best from several martial arts systems, including American Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Jujitsu, Judo, and Aikido. They are proven methods of self-defense, tested on the streets, and currently being used, by many police officers across the country."
