SAS and Special Forces Self Defence: A Complete Guide to Unarmed Combat Techniques (Mini Encyclopedias)

One of the better ones of these British SAS inspired titles on self defence. The other good one is the John Lofty Wiseman offering, which you can also get as a Gem guide style pocket manual. I recommend all three of these books in same basic subject matter. Crossover subject interest in military Survival and Evasion Escape skills.

Delivered within 24 hrs. Packaged very well. Awesome book. Thanks

As someone who is well into their senior years I have been a voracious reader and seeker of knowledge for more than 7 decades. One of my many interests has been the martial arts and self-defense (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Boxing, wrestling, Krav Maga etc.) systems. This is why while browsing on Amazon when I saw this 160-page soft cover book (SAS and special forces self-defense: A complete guide to unarmed combat by John “Lofty” Wiseman) I decided to purchase it. I found this book to be a good basic guide to safety and self-defense; however, you should know that it is written from the European point of view where they do not have the same individual rights as we Americans have when it comes to guns and other weapons of self-defense. The illustrations are clear showing the techniques and even though I agree with most of the material shown in this book, some of the techniques are questionable without constant training to achieve competency; nevertheless, I did like the practical safety advice in this book. Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Pro-Systems Combatives vol. 1, 2)

No throwing 500kg fridges on pirates for Mr Wiseman - just everything you need for basic self-defence training, the Goldilocks Zone, not too little, not much.

For someone whom is less than keen to join a self defence class, who prefers to self teach this book has it all. Definately requires discipline to keep picking it up but an informative read every time when I do. If you like to organise your own schedule to learn self defence techniques this is a definite consideration to add to your library.
