Publisher's Synopsis
Self-defense is more than just the ability to do it. Far more important is to know where to act - and when not to. That's a skill many wrongfully assume they already have.
This book teaches a lot about self-defense law and what is needed to avoid legal trouble as a result of getting into a self-defense incident but it fails to have as its primary focus escaping safely and neutralizing the attacker. You can't win a streetfight or ambush attack with a halfhearted effort second-guessing your intent through fearing to go to jail for hurting and injuring the assailant too severely. In reality, there are only two options in self-defense after the conflict cannot be avoided: non-lethal force and lethal force.
