This companion book complements the self-defense techniques taught in Professor Kelly S. Worden's Personal Protection Program, a Dvd for non-martial artists. While the Dvd focuses on self-defense skills that are easy for people with no martial arts experience to learn, practice, and use in a high-stress situation, the book seeks to explore the many ways to avoid an actual fight. The book also explains why martial arts is really not self-defense, despite what dojos and martial arts schools across the world claim. It also explores the importance of trying to Avoid, Deter, and De-Escalate a conflict. If push comes to shove and there is no other way out of a fight, you have the techniques shown in the Dvd. But if you want to avoid being forced to defend yourself, this book will show you how.
