How can you anticipate possible attacks from a physically superior opponent and defend yourself?
Self-protection for the whole family
• For everyone from 6–99
• Preventing and avoiding dangerous situations
• Tips and techniques for self-defense
Approximately 95 percent of attacks can be resolved peacefully through de-escalation or caution. For the remaining five percent, it is sometimes necessary to use a defense technique. Markus Schimpl demonstrates which simple techniques are recommended in which situations to protect yourself.
Using practical explanations and numerous color illustrations, this book provides tips for prevention and self-defense for everyone from 6 to 99 years of age. Depending on age, the options for defense and self-protection vary; for example, a child cannot defend themselves against an adult as well as an adult. And a frail elderly woman will need to use different techniques than a young woman. The author also presents his own self-defense techniques for physically impaired people, such as wheelchair users or the visually impaired.
