The Techniques of Self-Defense

The Techniques of Self-Defenseaf Ching-Nan Lee
Bag om The Techniques of Self-Defense

One of the basic assumptions teachers of self-defense make is that one's potential opponent always possesses greater strength. Although this is of course not always the case, the assumption remains valid, for it is when one does find himself physically overpowered that he is in need of special skills. The techniques taught in this authoritative manual are therefore not based upon strength, but knowledge, skill, and timing: knowledge of the various techniques that may be used in a given situation, skill in the application of these techniques, and timing in gaining the advantage through surprise. The authors, both acknowledged experts in hand-to-hand combat, lead us through more than eighty self-defense techniques, supplementing their explanations with photographs showing the movements, step by step, and with additional close-up illustrations of key points. Each of the techniques presented here is the product of the combined efforts of generations of study, through which maximum use of available force through principles of balance have been continually refined and perfected. Derived from the art and science of Jiujitsu and currently a portion of Judo training, they are the techniques presently in use and part of the curriculum at law enforcement academies across the Far East. The instruction contained in Techniques of Self-Defense will be of benefit to men, women, and children of all ages. For, consistent with the Eastern philosophy from which it stems, it emphasizes self-protection rather than violence as such. A thorough study of its pages, hand in hand with diligent practice, will reward the student with positive mental attitudes, good body conditioning, and general agility and grace.
