Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 796 EAN: 9781581603170 ISBN: 1581603177 Label: Paladin Press Manufacturer: Paladin Press Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 96 Publication Date: 2002-05 Publisher: Paladin Press Studio: Paladin Press Editorial Review: Product Description: U.S. Army Special Forces veteran Larry Jordan was given a unique assignment by his commanders - come up with a truly down-and-dirty hand-to-hand fighting system for his fellow Green Berets and U.S. Army Rangers. The goal of this system was to give soldiers a handful of hard-core techniques that could be easily learned, easily mastered and effectively applied in any close-combat situation. Jordan devised a set of 12 techniques that were surprisingly simple, shockingly fast and brutally effective. He has now adapted this military system for civilian self-defense. He calls it "The Dirty Dozen." The 12 self-defense lessons in this book are specifically designed to provide the average citizen with a series of easily learned techniques that will enable him or her to prevail in any violent situation. Besides the ever-present threat of violent crime, the recent terrorist attacks aboard commercial airliners show that people can no longer rely on "somebody else" to protect them. Preparing to resist and defeat evildoers is everyone's responsibility now. That's where The Dirty Dozen comes in. Average Rating:

Read More Rating: - Good basic book on some nasty techniquesThe Dirty Dozen: 12 Nasty Fighting Techniques For Any Self-Defense Situation is a simple little book containing some practical advice and techniques for self-defense. As a self-defense author and instructor myself, I found it to be a quick read based on some sound principles. The book starts out with a brief description of some of the threats you might face, and then goes into a chapter on the winning mind.
