4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Information,
By A Customer
This review is from: Defend Yourself!: Every Woman's Guide to Safeguarding Her Life (Paperback)
I've actually had the chance to train with Matt Thomas, and his work is amazing. The book could certainly use better photos, and the reviewer who suggested a DVD is right-on. Of course, even Matt will tell you, there's no replacement for hands-on training. Please seek it out for yourself and the women in your lives.

Every woman should read this!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Defend Yourself!: Every Woman's Guide to Safeguarding Her Life (Paperback)
I bought this book on a fluke and I found it to be one of the most beneficial books I have read. I find so much of the "self defense" classes that are taught are too "arty". While I appreciate the discipline of the martial arts, I found that it can take months or years before you ever reach the point of learning how to actually protecting yourself in a real life situation in the modern world. The book gets to the point: If this happens, this is a way to react. Not just a lot of talk, but specific things you can do to protect your life and help save yourself from a rape. I wish this program was offered here in my small town. The only downside, I would say, is that I wish that the photos were clearer and that there were more photos demonstrating the techniques. I have bought copies for a lot of my women friends and family members.

An excellent book - shocking that it's out of print,
By martin from england (england) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Defend Yourself!: Every Woman's Guide to Safeguarding Her Life (Paperback)
This book is excellent. Don't have years to spend learing martial arts? No problem - this book teaches more in 200 pages than most courses teach in a year. Only reservation: as one of the other reviewers points out, the photos aren't great, and there are too few of them. If only there was a DVD of this guy's work! It is shocking that this book is out of print - it's better than any other I've read in the field.
