Title: Save Your Money
Product review: That's right. Use the money towards your first month's lesson in boxing, karate, jiu-jitsu or any other martial art. Paladin Press publishes a ton of self defense books, all purporting to turn you into a fighter after you've read them. It ain't gonna' happen.Learning to defend yourself requires mental and physical toughness, which can only be learned through personal training. Technique is secondary. You've got to hit and be hit. You've got to sweat. You don't sit at home flipping pages.And no matter what some "expert" says, no one method of self defense is better than another. A method is only as good as the person using it. However, if you simply want to read a good book on self defense, read anything by Col. Rex Applegate. His first book was published more than 50 years ago, but his combatives were tested on the battlefields of World War II. He was a master.
