Download or read book Self Defence for Non Experts written by Joe Bloke and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a lean-mean-fighting machine who has had years of martial arts training? If so, then you don't need a book on self-defence.This book is written for the people who do need a book on self-defence; the people who can't fight. Maybe they're not so young any more, or a bit overweight, or haven't done any sport since they were at school. Maybe they know that they're never going to be able to fight like a tough guy in the movies. But they also know that there isn't going to be a police officer nearby when they really need one."Self-Defence for Non-Experts" is a little different from most self-defence manuals. There are no complicated manoeuvres that the non-expert would have no chance of actually using in real life. There are no fancy martial arts moves that involve striking with the fingers or trying to kick someone in the head. Everything that "looks cool" but which would be of no practical use to the non-expert has been excluded. Only the simplest physical techniques are featured and they are described in a straightforward manner. Much of the book consists of practical advice about what works and what doesn't work for a person who isn't trained in the martial arts. The suggestions and recommendations are realistic and sensible. This is a book for very ordinary people who aren't so foolish as to think that they can turn themselves into an expert fighter merely by reading a book. Are you an average person who isn't a powerhouse of muscles, nor as flexible as a gymnast, but who would like to be better prepared to protect yourself if a situation were to arise where you had no choice but to physically defend yourself as best you can? Then this is the book for you.

When the Fight Goes to the Ground establishes the risks and hazards of various ground defense scenarios, presenting effective strategies for neutralizing and minimizing them. You will learn a wide range of tools for defense, including the targeting of vital areas, body shifting/control techniques, and the concept of "weapons of opportunity." All of these techniques are easy to learn and apply, providing an adaptable skill set for anyone, regardless of size, strength or gender. These tools are then shown in various combinations, with examples of how to use them against specific types of attacks, including simple hold-downs, ground and pound, submission grappling pins, chokes, arm locks, leg locks, knife attacks and multiple assailant scenarios. In addition, this martial arts book gives you useful training suggestions and regimens, addressing graduated skill development, challenges presented by different body types, and safety practices at all levels of training.

Download or read book Small Dojo Big Profits written by Mike Massie and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over a decade, Small Dojo Big Profits has guided martial arts instructors through the risky yet highly rewarding process of starting and running a highly successful and profitable martial art school. Eschewing the conventional wisdom that says you must have a huge school with 300 or more students to be financially successful, the author instead shows you how to take on less risk while working smarter and not harder by running a lean, mean, efficient martial arts studio operation. Author Mike Massie has started three successful martial arts studios from scratch, and has the distinction of opening his first studio with no start-up capital, zero credit, and in a town where he was a complete stranger. Yet, he was able to go from teaching in part-time locations to running his own full-time studio in under a year, and he achieved this while staying in profit from month one. The process he followed is the same one this book is based upon, and this updated version of Small Dojo Big Profits also draws on the author's experience in starting and growing two more successful studios during the recent mortgage crisis and economic recession. A common sense martial arts school start-up and business operations manual, this completely updated version of the classic martial arts business guide is perfect for anyone who wants to maintain their integrity while building a successful martial art school. If you're looking for the best source of complete information for starting, launching, growing, and running a martial art school from scratch, this is it.

Download or read book Self Defense for Dummies written by J Steele and published by Econo Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have walked down a dark alley in the dark of the night with no companions, you may identify with the feeling of your heart thumping against your chest. You keep looking over your shoulders, anticipating someone to mysteriously appear out of nowhere and pounce on you. You feel uneasy and afraid that someone will attack you or mug you. However, if you have had the ability to defend yourself, you would feel more confident and less afraid of being attacked. This is also the reason why many people have signed themselves up for self defence classes.Self defence simply means to be able to fight off the aggressor and successfully protect yourself. It is also a legal justification for any force exerted by someone when his or her wellbeing is being threatened. There are various methods to do so; hence if you are interested to learn how to defend yourself, the first thing you should do is to learn more about the styles of self defence that you can choose from. The most common method of dealing with aggressors would be to respond physically by dealing moves that will disarm him or throw him off long enough for you to escape. When you choose to utilise this style of self defence, you will be able to choose between fighting with your bare hands or with a weapon. However, besides using physical techniques, you can also use verbal skills to convince the aggressor to back down. This is a technique which may be preferred by ladies, especially those who do not have sufficient strength to fight back.Regardless of whichever self defence method you prefer, one thing is for sure - by learning how to defend yourself successfully, you will be able to prevent injuries and also increase your chances of surviving any assaults.

Download or read book Stand Your Ground written by Caroline Light and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2017-02-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of America’s Stand Your Ground gun laws, from Reconstruction to Trayvon Martin After a young, white gunman killed twenty-six people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012, conservative legislators lamented that the tragedy could have been avoided if the schoolteachers had been armed and the classrooms equipped with guns. Similar claims were repeated in the aftermath of other recent shootings—after nine were killed in a church in Charleston, South Carolina, and in the aftermath of the massacre in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Despite inevitable questions about gun control, there is a sharp increase in firearm sales in the wake of every mass shooting. Yet, this kind of DIY-security activism predates the contemporary gun rights movement—and even the stand-your-ground self-defense laws adopted in thirty-three states, or the thirteen million civilians currently licensed to carry concealed firearms. As scholar Caroline Light proves, support for “good guys with guns” relies on the entrenched belief that certain “bad guys with guns” threaten us all. Stand Your Ground explores the development of the American right to self-defense and reveals how the original “duty to retreat” from threat was transformed into a selective right to kill. In her rigorous genealogy, Light traces white America’s attachment to racialized, lethal self-defense by unearthing its complex legal and social histories—from the original “castle laws” of the 1600s, which gave white men the right to protect their homes, to the brutal lynching of “criminal” Black bodies during the Jim Crow era and the radicalization of the NRA as it transitioned from a sporting organization to one of our country’s most powerful lobbying forces. In this convincing treatise on the United States’ unprecedented ascension as the world’s foremost stand-your-ground nation, Light exposes a history hidden in plain sight, showing how violent self-defense has been legalized for the most privileged and used as a weapon against the most vulnerable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The average person isn't looking to be in a situation where fists are going to fly, but many of us have found ourselves there anyway.

This martial arts philosophy book will give you an understanding of why people want to use violence and how to manage situations in order to create a better outcome.

Download or read book Self Defence in International and Criminal Law written by Onder Bakircioglu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-05-11 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from scholarship across law, history, politics and philosophy, Self-Defence in International and Criminal Law provides a broad and interdisciplinary approach to the doctrine of self-defence in both domestic criminal and international law. It focuses on the requirement of imminence, which deals with the question of when individuals or States may legitimately resort to defensive force against a serious danger or harm. In both national and international law the imminence requirement, if strictly applied, renders any defensive measure taken in anticipation of a would-be attack illegal. Recently, however, attempts have been made to relax the temporal requirement of the self-defence doctrine (imminence) with a view to allowing individuals or States to employ deadly force to arrest an anticipated threat when they ‘believe’ that using ‘pre-emptive’ lethal force would be the only way to thwart an expected harm. In domestic criminal law, it has been argued that it is necessary to relax the rule of imminence in domestic violence cases where women employ lethal force against their abusive partners when there is no imminent threat to justify defensive force. At the international level, while there has long been controversy as to the justifiability of pre-emptive force in non-confrontational settings, following the September 11 attacks, the Bush Administration’s ‘war on terror’ policy radically shifted the focus from the notion of anticipation to that of prevention, making it clear that, if necessary, it would invoke unilateral force against emerging threats before they are fully formed. The book surveys the roots, role, rationale, and objectives of self-defence and questions whether the requirement of imminence should be removed from the traditional contours of the self-defence doctrine in national and international law.
