The author introduces an innovative method of presenting and learning defensive tactics from a book. The author draws heavily on his life experience, legal education and martial arts training and on the insights he has developed by working in these fields. His realistic approach to self-defense training provides readers with an historical and intellectual overview of the various forms of fighting systems, such as Filipino Martial Arts, Jeet Kune Do, street fighting and Silat, and offers clear, concise explanations of many different styles of fighting and self-defense. By presenting the reader with anecdotal evidence, including information obtained from prison inmates and medical authorities about their ideas on fighting and self-defense, the author informs the reader about the reality of what the police are really up against out there "on the beat." The sections covering various elements of defensive tactics training may help you think about your current self-defense techniques, why they may not be working for you, and how you can enhance them.

The intent of this book is to give a working business professional a realistic review of security issues that a business may have to deal with on an everyday basis. Many texts have been written discussing these issues in great detail offering solutions. While the value of these presentations is very worthwhile for the security professional, most management professionals need a more simple and workable way to deal with security problems. This presentation endeavors to outline security remedies and options on a level most useful for the average business professional. In many businesses, security management is assigned to administrative personnel not familiar with protection topics. This book will give those individuals a working knowledge of security issues and practices. It can be used as an informed starting point with which to deal with a security situation completely, or at best, give some general know ledge of the field if security professionals have to be called. This basic information can save a company money, and the person assigned the task can feel some level of comfort in dealing with the topic. The author emphasizes that the best methods for dealing with security problems are the simplest. Management desires a list of options from the security professional and then the best course of action has to be factored into the business life of the firm. The author shows how the best absolute security remedy will often not be the best overall action for the company, and that a combination of steps may have to be taken in order to address the problem.

Approximately 1.9 million women are physically assaulted annually in the United States alone. In Survive the Unthinkable, Tim Larkin empowers women to understand that surviving a potential attack isn’t about being physically bigger, faster, or stronger; it’s about knowing how to self-protect, not self-defend. Survive the Unthinkable reveals the effective, proven principles behind Target Focus Training, the system Larkin has used to train Navy SEALs, celebrities, and soccer moms. It’s a counter-intuitive mind / body approach women can use to protect themselves and their loved ones. Readers learn how to identify the difference between social aggression (which can be avoided) and asocial violence (which is unavoidable), recognize personal behaviors that may jeopardize safety, and target highly specific areas on an attacker’s body for a strategic counterattack. Larkin discusses how predators think and teaches women how to spot them, outsmart them, and stop them in their tracks. With principles proven to work regardless of size, strength, or athleticism, Larkin’s approach revolutionizes women’s perspective on violence and self-protection. Armed with the tools to neutralize any threat, readers will blast through the victim mindset and live freer, safer, more peaceful lives.
