4.0 out of 5 stars Serious self-defense for women
Bradley Steiner has drawn on his extensive knowledge of karate, jujitsu, kung fu and military hand-to-hand combat and put together this self-defense course with techniques that are effective yet easy to learn.

3.0 out of 5 stars Outdated material
This book was written is 1976. Most of the techniques and defenses are outdated or useless. The most important aspect of this book is that of teaching a woman about awareness and a mindset for defending herself. I know Steiner personally, this is not his best work.

This review is from: Below the Belt: Unarmed Combat for Women (Hardcover)
Bradley Steiner has drawn on his extensive knowledge of karate, jujitsu, kung fu and military hand-to-hand combat and put together this self-defense course with techniques that are effective yet easy to learn. This is serious survival training, not dojo ballet. Also, the author gives a good deal of attention to the psychological preparation and mental attitude needed for effective self-defense against a dangerous attacker. The mindset is something many women have difficulty with, and it's as important as the skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great title....but not for self-defense purposes..., May 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Below the Belt: Unarmed Combat for Women (Hardcover)
Not a great book for anyone learning true self-defense. If you are however, a fan of fighting/empowerment photos of strong women.....this is a classic!
