The Complete Idiot's Guide to Self Defense

[SB]

My book review

Let me know what you think.

 

[Munro Williams]

Well written and persuaded me to get the book.

SB,
Good write up.

The "grab the blade" defense is nothing new. I was taught it by my instructor, who learned it from Mas Oyama. I was definitely taught that it's a "last resort" defense, though.

That isn't like the "stick the finger in the muzzle" defense that Yosemite Sam always used is it?

SB, I thank you for the review. I was only today wondering why someone has not published something along the lines of Colin Fletcher's The Complete Walker which would pertain to self defense,weapons,training, and maintenance, combined with a good dose of individual philosophy and humor.
If anyone has a similar reading list it will be appreciated.

 

[SB]

Thank you folks for the positive responses. I've added some more details on the blade grab part.

 

[DC]

Very good....now I must find the book.

Thanks, from another steel lover

Good read. How fortuitous that Chris is in your town. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Lavan, Mas Oyama was, well, "different". He killed bulls with nothing but his hands and feet. He died 2-3 years ago, but I don't think I would have disagreed with him to his face.
