Practical Self-Defense Anyone Can Learn, Taught By a Master of Street Combat After serving as a Marine in World War II, legendary close-quarter combatives teacher and martial arts practitioner Charles Nelson opened his own School of Self Defense in New York City. Every day, New Yorkers faced the threat of violent attacks, assaults, and muggings. Recognizing that danger, Nelson knew that average people would benefit from learning how to protect themselves. For five decades he taught practical fighting techniques for real-world situations. Nelson's famous evade-and-strike method taught evasion and avoidance first, de-escalation next, and then strategies for self-defense and striking back-when necessary. Combining the popular "Little Red Manual" and "Little Gray Manual" booklets into a single volume, this comprehensive, illustrated book provides a complete picture of Nelson's fighting techniques. Drawing from his personal experience in unarmed, hand-to-hand combat and representing the skills he taught in person, it contains a wide variety of simple and effective martial arts moves, ranging from basic blocks and traps to advanced swivel punches and counter-strikes. A foreword by a WWII combatives expert and fighting instructor Carl Cestari, one of Nelson's former pupils, provides a colorful backstory about "Charlie" Nelson's life and techniques. Appealing to both experienced martial arts students and beginners, this is a must-have classic for every martial artist, and self-defense students and instructors. Studying the moves in this manual could literally mean the difference between life or death. "The volumes of letters written to Charlie by former pupils, expressing gratitude for teaching these life-saving tactics and methods, attest to the efficacy of the system." -Carl Cestari, from the Foreword

Charles Nelson was revered for his "do-whatever-it-takes" school of self-defense. Many well-known exponents of the fighting arts – Carl Cestari, Bob Kasper and Kelly McCann – learned from Nelson at his school in New York, and thousands more have learned from his famous Red and Gray Manuals. The last of Nelson's manuals, Self-Defense by Charles C. Nelson, is less well known but still quintessential Nelson in its sensible, hands-on approach to self-defense. Nelson's genius was this: he spent a lifetime studying the way predators attack and then simplifying what he had learned into a system of uncomplicated principles and techniques that work for everyone. The exclusive new foreword by Paul Gerasimczyk, a long-time student at Nelson's school who worked on both the Red and Gray Manuals, traces Nelson's role as a self-defense icon – from his days first learning and then teaching hand-to-hand combat in the Marine Corps to his pioneering role as a civilian self-defense instructor. Now a whole new generation can learn about Nelson's self-defense program from this little booklet, which few people even knew existed.

When he left the military after World War II, Charlie realized that there was a realistic need for average citizens to be able to defend themselves against violent assault, so he opened his School of Self-Defense in New York City. During its five decades of operation, NelsonÂ's school taught hundreds of men, women and even children. To reach more people than could personally attend the school, Nelson published two manuals on self-defense, commonly referred to as the "Little Red Manual" and the "Little Gray Manual," both long out of print. Through these two booklets Charlie influenced generations of law enforcement officers, military personnel, martial artists and celebrities. Now for the first time, the two manuals have been combined to offer a comprehensive picture of the Nelson system of self-defense. Along with the faithful reproductions of the red and gray manuals, Charles NelsonÂ's School of Self-Defense offers an illuminating look at Charlie Nelson by former pupil and World War II combatives expert Carl Cestari as well as a collection of photos from the life of one of the pioneers of civilian self-defense.

"The most talked-about education book this semester." —New York Times From the author of Coming Apart, and based on a series of controversial Wall Street Journal op-eds, this landmark manifesto gives voice to what everyone knows about talent, ability, and intelligence but no one wants to admit. With four truths as his framework, Charles Murray, the bestselling coauthor of The Bell Curve, sweeps away the hypocrisy, wishful thinking, and upside-down priorities that grip America’s educational establishment. •Ability varies. Children differ in their ability to learn, but America’s educational system does its best to ignore this. •Half of the children are below average. Many children cannot learn more than rudimentary reading and math. Yet decades of policies have required schools to divert resources to unattainable goals. •Too many people are going to college. Only a fraction of students struggling to get a degree can profit from education at the college level. •America’s future depends on how we educate the academically gifted. It is time to start thinking about the kind of education needed by the young people who will run the country.
