This review is from: Bruce Tegner's Complete Book of Self-Defense (Mass Market Paperback)

Many people in the traditional martial arts community were harsh critics of Bruce Tegner. This is because Mr. Tegner's approach to self-defense took a more realistic and simple approach to learning self-defense and the martial arts. He always emphasized that learning effective self-defense is not mystical in anyway.

This particular book covers all the basic technqiues and self-defense responses to numerous types of attacks, This book shows how to counter punching, kicking, grabs, chokes and other attacks. In conclusion, this book like any other physical skills text in that it has limitations. Using this text in combination with actual training with a competent self-defense instructor will produce the best results.

Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Karate Combatives).
