Publisher Description
This book, Stay safe, will empower you, increase your awareness, and sharpen your decision making process, aid your understanding of violence, and enable you to respond quickly and effectively when facing potentially dangerous situations.
Whether you or a family member are leaving home to go to university, travelling, living alone, working alone, working late, or if you are not as young and fit as you used to be, you will have particular and inevitable concerns about safety.
Stay safe is particularly relevant for people who deal directly with the public in a variety of situations, who work alone or in isolation and who may have to travel alone in the course of their work. It focuses on the personal safety of the individual who may encounter confrontation, anger, violence or other "difficult situations".
Customer Reviews
Outstanding self-protection book
Stay Safe is an outstanding book. It is particularly good for people who deal directly with the public or have to work/travel alone. It addresses many areas to do with human conflict and is not just a collection of techniques, although it does explain well which physical tools on the body are good to use as weapons and what targets to aim for to end the conflict quickly.
Stay Safe does go into depth explaining the mental side of self-protection, such as, understanding fear, staying in control, your own intrinsic worth, the predator/prey relationship and how important it is to have the will and attitude to survive. It explains how and when to use dialogue to dissuade, distract and dominate an aggressor and what is the difference of a predator and angry person is in their thinking and behaviour.
There are also well written chapters on multiple attackers, personal safety in your vehicle and the law (UK) regarding personal protection.
Throughout Stay Safe there is an emphasis on awareness of danger and explains what some of the warning signs might be if danger is perceived before a situation gets physical. Included is an easy to remember system to help people stay aware/alert called Cooper’s Colour Code.
Whether you have trained in martial arts or not, I strongly believe that you'll benefit from the insight provided by this book. It's that insightful, and it will serve as a reality check on your martial arts training/teaching!
I will refer back to this book on many occasions from my iPhone/kindle. I would recommend this book to everyone, the information contained within could save a life.
Peace, love, joy & happiness!
