Summary: Techniques for readers of all ages and skill levels
Review: Collaboratively written by renowned martial arts instructor George A. Dillman and knowledgeable martial arts writer and teacher Chris Thomas, Humane Pressure Point Self-Defense is a straightforward, "student friendly" guide to applying knowledge of the body's nerve clusters and vulnerable areas to quickly and humanely protect oneself with low risk of causing injury. Step-by-step instructions are clearly illustrated with black-and-white photographs and expressly demonstrate "Dillman Pressure Point Method" techniques for readers of all ages and skill levels in the martial arts. An excellent and recommended reference, Humane Pressure Point Self-Defense is wholly dedicated to explaining, defining, and teaching an effective, practical, benign self-defense method.

Summary: Everyone should know the basics of these techniques
Review: George Dillman is a ninth degree black belt in karate and 1997 Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame Instructor of the Year. Together with Chris Thomas, a seventh degree black belt and writer, they have put together the definitive book on pressure point self-defense. The focus of the techniques is gaining control or providing an opportunity for escape from a violent situation without causing serious harm to the other person. The information and techniques are easy to understand and very well illustrated. Not only does it cover the specific techniques but also provides additional information on the common types of attackers such as the career assailant, the intoxicated attacker, etc. From there it goes on to a discussion of the theory of self-defense, which is followed by the specific techniques for self-defense for just about every situation. In a world, where violence towards others seems to becoming the rule rather than the exception, knowing how to protect yourself and provide for an avenue of escape can be some of the invaluable and useful knowledge to have. A highly recommended book for anyone wanting to take responsibility for their own safety. For more information you can view his website at ...
