Synopsis

Real violence is not like anything you see in the movies or the ring. Ask any police officer, real violence is total chaos and cannot be defended against with either patterned technique training or sport fighting. This new edition presents a proven personal protection system, called guided chaos, for anticipating and fending off even the most brutal assaults. It's based on the real-world experiences and forensic homicide research of a former New York police officer and instructor for members of the FBI, U.S. Marines, air marshals and security personnel for dignitaries. This book will train readers to become martial realists by preparing them for the unexpected. Rather than robotic techniques or rules-based sport fighting, "Attack Proof" teaches how to adapt, improvise and survive, creating varied defenses spontaneously as needed. With protection strategies for larger assailants, car and airline hijackings, workplace violence, multiple attackers, fighting on the ground and in stairwells, also attacks and defenses using guns, knives, sticks and canes. "Attack Proof" is the next best thing to having your own personal bodyguard. Featuring the same tactics used by select police, military and security professionals to defend themselves, "Attack Proof" is the trusted guide to personal protection when real violence occurs.
