In his book, "Real World Self-Defense," Jerry VanCook offers no nonsense advice on topics from everything from unwarranted physical attacks to the legal aftermath.
The book - which is divided into three parts - covers such topics as the warrior mindset, psychological and physiological changes during combat, legalities and politics of self-defense, firearms for personal protection, knives, impact weapons, pepper spray, physical training and the psychological motivation to train.
Everyone should have his own self-defense strategy, and VanCook's tactics and techniques will help you prepare for the worst.
It's available through Paladin Press for $20. For more information, call Paladin Press at (800) 466-6868 or visit www.paladin-press.com.
