About the Author

Bruce Tegner was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1929. Both of his parents were professional teachers of judo and jujitsu; they began his formal instruction in the martial arts when Bruce was two years old!

In a field where most individuals concentrate on a narrow specialty, Bruce Tegner's experience was unusual. His education covered many aspects of weaponless fighting of many styles, as well as sword and stick techniques. At the age of 21, after becoming the California state judo champion, he gave up competition to devote himself to research, course development, teaching and teacher-training.

In the U.S. armed forces, Mr. Tegner trained instructors to teach unarmed combat; he taught military police tactics; he coached sport judo teams. Later, he trained actors and devised choreographed fight scenes for movies and television. From 1952-1957 he operated his own school in Hollywood, California. There, he taught men, women, and children of very different abilities. Some students were naturally gifted in the martial arts, while others were blind and disabled.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for practical, everyday defense, May 17, 1999
This review is from: Defense Tactics for Law Enforcement: Weaponless Defense and Control and Baton Techniques (Paperback)
Right from the beginning, this book explains in detail different moves for defense in real-life situations. The different methods are very clear cut with pictures to explain exactly what to do in that specific situation. These moves really work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing flashy, May 23, 2000

This review is from: Defense Tactics for Law Enforcement: Weaponless Defense and Control and Baton Techniques (Paperback)
This is a fine book for picking up basic stick fighting techniques quickly. Clear sequence pictures demonstrate solid moves. No hanbo here; this is hitting the bad guy with a nightstick to discourage him or take him down. But isn't clear instruction what we're looking for?

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple but effective techniques, May 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Defense Tactics for Law Enforcement: Weaponless Defense and Control and Baton Techniques (Paperback)
The techniques described on this book works because they are simple to learn. The baton techniques are also good, but, because this book was written before the adoption of PR-24 side-handled baton on law enforcement agencies, it covers only straight-baton techniques.
