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.

Outdated material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 Most of the techniques and defenses are outdated or useless.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.

Serious self-defense for women, March 29, 2003
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.

A great title....but not for self-defense purposes..., May 3, 1998

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!
