The details

About this item

Most of us don’t think about self-defense until it’s too late, perhaps assuming we will be able to muddle through a defense of ourselves if the need ever arose—or perhaps believing self-defense is impossible without years of intricate drills and many hours of physical training. The truth, however, is that anyone, regardless of age, size, or background, can learn to improve their safety, avoid or de-escalate threatening situations, or even escape a conflict altogether. At its most basic, self-defense is about understanding violence and using skills to get home safely. Understanding and Applying Self-Defense Strategies is the ideal introduction to avoiding, de-escalating, or winning conflicts, and will change the way you look at the world and think about yourself. Taught by acclaimed Krav Maga expert and psychotherapist Dr. Tammy Yard-McCracken, these 24 interactive lessons will give you an arsenal of Rated 3.2 out of 5.
