Book Reviews of Hardcore Self-Defense
Book Review: "Strong of mind"
Summary: 5 Stars
Very interesting book. . .
Unlike other books in this genre, which seem directed at traditional martial artists or the average civilian, this seems to have been written for a more specialized audience -- those who are already familiar with self-defense, but want to take their knowledge "to the next level".
The bulk of the text seems to be divided into two main categories. First, several aspects of self-defense (i.e., preparedness, rape prevention, combat, and the aftermath) are discused from an abstract psychological perspective that is insightful, intense, and unlike anything else I've ever read. These are intermediate to advanced concepts which, once understood, can improve your chances of survival much more so than the typical collection of "tactics and techniques". Secondly, a significant portion of the book is spent discussing the various types of weapons available -- with great emphasis placed on improvised weapons -- and details the strengths and weaknesses of each, as well as explodes various myths about the "effectiveness" of a number of inferior choices.
This was a very unique book which anyone with a strong interest in the subject is encouraged to read. You WILL learn!
