Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Designed to help teach the skills of self-defence, this book describes these skills, which include developing greater awareness and vigilance, sharpening observational and judgement skills, learning communication techniques to defuse potentially volatile situations, and acquiring competency in physical self-defence tactics for use when preventive measures fail. The book has a companion self-help guide to self-defence.
Includes bibliographical references (page 133).
