This is an excellent guide to self defense that is very approachable for anyone, even grandmothers! Steve's long experience in the topic of self defense and martial arts allows him to provide very basic yet effective methods that anyone can apply for their own protection. Also provides lots of great ways to avoid trouble to start with. I look forward to reading his new book on "surviving a knife attack" - should be great stuff.
