4.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction into Women's Self-Defense Issues, February 8, 2001

By	Janne Herfurth "Janne" (ABILENE, TEXAS United States) - See all my reviews

This book by Kathy Long with Davis Miller is targeted for women, but the techniques demonstrated can also be used by men. She focuses on the basic moves as simplicity is normally what works in a "real fight." The book isn't too detialed as to confuse the reader, but does spark a sense of urgency for women to prepare themselves buy learninig some simple prevention techniques and then by getting in shape and learning some practical strikes and techniques.

I, like my husband, have been involved in the martial arts for years and think this book is great for beginners and very practical.

4.0 out of 5 stars Written by Davis Miller: TaoofBruce Lee & TaoofMuhammadAli, April 15, 2001

By	Worth (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

That alone makes it worth finding a copy. To boot, you get the only book I've ever found that may actually help you defend yourself, whether you're a woman or a man. Clear, concise, simple, REAL. Not hokey like most martial arts and martial arts books. The only downside is the photos. They're not bad except when compared to the text.

Try Davis Miller's own (more creative) books The Tao of Bruce Lee and The Tao of Muhammad Ali. This guy is one of the best writers in the world, period. Fun, exciting, serious, meditative, beautiful. More people need to know about this guy's powerful, original stories. And he's from my own hometown of Winston-Salem, NC. I can promise you: When you read something of his, it'll amaze you. And you'll turn right around and read it again.
