Behavioral Self-Defense: A More Realistic, Usable, Preventive Method of Self-Defense - Paperback

by Ed Sjc Park (Author)

Behavioral Self-Defense is a revolutionary self-defense method that focuses on realistic and safe preventive techniques. It is a considerable departure from traditional self-defense. Martial arts focuses on teaching students to react to violent confrontations. Law enforcement agencies focus on simple safety advice like locking all your doors and walking along well-lit streets. Social service, victim, and women's advocate groups offer advice on dealing with rape or safely leaving an abusive relationship. Undoubtedly, many of these methods have helped people get out of bad situations. The most important lesson, however, is not how to get out of a bad situation but how to avoid getting into one. Although, it is important to know how to get out of your car if you get in an accident, it is much more important to know how to avoid getting into the car accident in the first place.
