DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In Defense of Ourselves is a book that will make women feel safer on the streets or when home alone. As a practical guide to help women cope with, and hopefully avoid, attack of any sort, this book deals with emotional readiness (how to overcome feeling helpless or being polite when someone makes an unwelcome advance) as well as the physical ability to defend ourselves. For example, the authors cover voice and body stance, and they provide physical exercises (with step-by-step instructions and accompanying photographs) that you can do to be prepared for any attacker. But nowhere does this book say that you have to fight back or react in a specific way in every case - it simply gives you the knowledge and confidence to evaluate each situation and respond intelligently."--Back cover.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKApproximately 1.9 million women are physically assaulted annually in the United States alone. In Survive the Unthinkable, Tim Larkin empowers women to understand that surviving a potential attack isn’t about being physically bigger, faster, or stronger; it’s about knowing how to self-protect, not self-defend. Survive the Unthinkable reveals the effective, proven principles behind Target Focus Training, the system Larkin has used to train Navy SEALs, celebrities, and soccer moms. It’s a counter-intuitive mind / body approach women can use to protect themselves and their loved ones. Readers learn how to identify the difference between social aggression (which can be avoided) and asocial violence (which is unavoidable), recognize personal behaviors that may jeopardize safety, and target highly specific areas on an attacker’s body for a strategic counterattack. Larkin discusses how predators think and teaches women how to spot them, outsmart them, and stop them in their tracks. With principles proven to work regardless of size, strength, or athleticism, Larkin’s approach revolutionizes women’s perspective on violence and self-protection. Armed with the tools to neutralize any threat, readers will blast through the victim mindset and live freer, safer, more peaceful lives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn examination of women's self-defense culture and its relationship to feminism. I was once a frightened feminist. So begins Martha McCaughey's odyssey into the dynamic world of women's self- defense, a culture which transforms women involved with it and which has equally profound implications for feminist theory and activism. Unprecedented numbers of American women are learning how to knock out, maim, even kill men who assault them. Sales of mace and pepper spray have skyrocketed. Some 14 million women own handguns. From behind the scenes at gun ranges, martial arts dojos, fitness centers offering Cardio Combat, and in padded attacker courses like Model Mugging, Real Knockouts demonstrates how self-defense trains women out of the femininity that makes them easy targets for men's abuse. And yet much feminist thought, like the broader American culture, seems deeply ambivalent about women's embrace of violence, even in self-defense. Investigating the connection between feminist theory and women physically fighting back, McCaughey found self-defense culture to embody, literally, a new brand of feminism.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy write a book on 'Girls guide to Self defence'? Primarily because I'm a man and it makes me angry to constantly read about guys attacking girls, usually for sex, but often it is just a dominance issue. Evidently, man is the stronger more aggressive gender and women are perceived as the weaker gender. As a general rule those stereotypes are correct. It has often passed through my thought process that strength is not the main issue when it comes to self defence. It's a lack of knowledge and confidence that makes the female cower and become passive when they are attacked by a perceived stronger male. This book is designed to give the reader some knowledge and confidence for when the invasion/attack occurs. It also shows that a lack of physical strength need not be the deciding factor.
