Master's Guide to Basic Self Defence Book

(Ref: BSbk-sd-008)

Master's Guide to Basic Self Defence Book
The core of any system of self-defense is the response to an attack. But certain natural bodily responses (such as ducking and blinking) often leave you exposed and defenseless. In an unexpected attack, none of your martial arts training is going to help you if these reflexes are allowed to take over. Master Hei Long's training program focuses on deconditioning such counterproductive responses to assault. Through a structured learning process that combines fundamental defensive maneuvers with the retraining of the central nervous system, you will learn how to instinctively avoid common assaults and counterattack with maximum efficiency.
