[.ca] Self-Defense Nerve Centers & Pressure Points: For ... (ISBN 0874070295)

Wonderful Treatment on Nerve centers and Pressure points:
What Bruce Tegner has done with this volume is to strip away the mystical, pseudo-magical approach to the topic and present a straight forward and highly effective amalgamation of nerve centers, pressure points, striking techniques, and common sense self defense. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the martial arts or self defense in general. It is a valuable addition to your library.

Not worth the cost or time:
The information is common knowledge for the general public. Everyone is aware of all the points that is covered in this book. I was hoping that as I continued to read the book, that there would be something worthwhile. There was nothing. Save your money. My book went out with the trash.

Grate tips on self-defense.:
This book I think is more for people who don't do any martial arts, but still want to learn about how to defend themselves. It has some tips and tricks for the average person to try out at home, and hopefully benefit from in a self-defense situation.

EVERYONE MUST HAVE THIS BOOK!:
This is a book that describes all the vulnerable areas of the human body and how to hit them. Knowing your attacker's weak spots is just as important as knowing how to properly strike them. This is a book all martial artists should have in their library, but it isn't just for them only. This is a book that every person has to own. The reason why this book is so great is that it is meant and written for the average person like you and me to understand. It talks about all the major weaknesses of the body and all the physical effects that will occur when hit with strikes of differing force. ITS GREAT. The book is also loaded with a plethora of pictures and maps showing all the body's natural vulnerable areas. Bruce Tegner is an excellent author. Mr. Tegner explains in detail the legal definition of what self-defense is and what it is not. He did a ton of reseach to make this book. For example, he debunks all the mythical "deadly blows" and he talks about how television shows and Hollywood have heavily distorted what actual self-defense is. This will seriously educate anyone about what real self-defense is. If you desire to protect yourself adequately and realistically, THEN YOU NEED TO GET THIS BOOK!

A mix of the obvious and the incorrect.:
This book is not at all useful to practicing martial artists. Save your money.
