A practical introduction to Japanese Jiu-Jitsu self-defense

Neil Dalgarno’s guide organizes self-defense around prevention as well as physical response. It begins with confidence and situational awareness, presenting these as ways to recognize and avoid potential danger before a confrontation develops. The instructional material then moves into techniques for getting away from an attacker, using strikes, and responding to holds, grabs, and chokes. Ground situations and attacks from behind are also included. Framed as a companion to hands-on self-defense or martial-arts training, the book presents Japanese Jiu-Jitsu as a practical framework for building personal-defense knowledge.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an introductory self-defense guide
  • Readers interested in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu techniques
  • People looking for material on awareness, avoidance, and responses to common grabs or holds
