Book excerpt: Realistic Self-Defense For Parents, Children, and Adolescents is a comprehensive self-defense manual that is designed to teach children and adolescents how to avoid altercations and physically defend themselves. This book will teach children how to listen and trust their intuition, become aware of their surrounds, use their words to avoid an altercation, stay safe on the internet, and control their fear. The physical self-defense techniques in this manual include how to correctly use your hands, elbows, knees, and legs to stop an attacker. Children will learn to defend against possible situations that they may encounter. This manual contains defenses against punches, chokes, bear hugs, hair pulling, shirt grabs, and wrist grabs. Additional scenarios explain how to respond and defend yourself if forced to the ground, if attacked from behind, or if facing multiple adversaries. This manual addresses parental concerns about child-specific safety threats such as how to react to an abductor approaching a child from a car, how to maintain safety while out with friends, and how parents can protect their child during a physical altercation. Over 500 computer generated images are used to assist in learning the concepts and techniques.Self-defense concepts and techniques are effective against an adult or adolescent adversary.No prior martial arts or self-defense knowledge is required to learn, understand, and perform the techniques in this manual. This manual should be read by both parents and their children to enhance the learning experience.
