The Secrets of Street Self-Defence Special Edition Volumes I & II

Description

Foreward by Dr. Dan Lee (5th Dan). Author Paul Wellard has been involved in fight-ing for most of his life. Growing up in a northernsea port renowned for tough dockers he soonlearned to defend himself in a variety of streetwise ways. However, after sailing rather close tothe authorities one time too many he decided toclean up his act by joining the services. Unfortu-nately all the army did was to make him evenmore effective at damaging people and instil inhim an urge to travel. He left after a short whileto fulfil some of his other ambitions. Since then Paul has travelled extensively inthe Orient, where his initial interest in the MartialArts was developed and the Arab world wherehis knife fighting techniques were honed. Helearned to knife throw with the Berber Tribesmenalthough he would never advocate parting with agood weapon in a real fight. In addition to being one of Europe's top night-club 'bouncers' Paul teaches self-defence andwrites extensively and realistically on the sub-ject under the heading of "Self-Defence for RealPeople". Paul realises that many self-defencecourses lull their participants into a false senseof security by teaching defence methods whichare not practical. He has taken the best of streetfighting and the more usable sections from thearts to create his own brand of street fighting. For attack or defence it is suitable for smallerframed people. This book aims to separate fight-ing facts from fighting fantasy. It starts from thestandpoint of the novice and leads you step bystep towards advanced level defence. I recall that when I first met Paul he was ascoundrel. It was obvious from his physique thathe was a fighter, albeit a small one. Time, how-ever, has tempered both of us and brought withit new concepts. Unknown ISBN.
