    Reader Reviews
    First of all; I like it. Let me make that clear. It has quality production, contains a large number of techniques and Sang H. Kim is skilled. But the major issue I want to adress in this review, is that if you REALLY want to REALISTICALLY defend yourself, then this is not were you want to start. When you are being attacked you are likely to experience chaos and fear, and it happens fast and brutally. Your mind will not be reviewing the huge catalog of techniques you have seen on video tapes (or even in the dojo) in this very stressful situation, and perfectly chose the appropriate manouver for you. It just doesn't work that way. You can really just expect the unexpected. What is needed is a handful of very basic gross motor skill techniques which have been rehearsed many times so they become almost like reflexes (called muscle memory). They must be high percentage moves, meaning they will work in a large number of scenarios. But just as important is learning some good consepts (how to move, balance ++) and training in awareness and de-escalation (extremely underrated). Paul Vunak's video "Street Safe" is a good choice for basic self-defense and Peyton Quinn's book "A Bouncer's Guide to Barroom Brawling" (a misleading title though) for awareness and common sense self-defense.
