Customer Review: Great book on self defense
This book has excellent advice on self-defense. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more on how to protect themselves.
I will take issue though with the author’s stance on firearms. He makes statements that are blantly false (more people are injured with their own gun…) and others that lack foundation. He states that a firearm can only be used as a “lethal” choice, yet uses his own non-lethal example of “racking” a cartridge into his shotgun when faced with a mob of youth. The mere presence of the firearm and the sound of the shotgun being put into battery diffused the situation. Studies have shown that the mere presence of a firearm has thwarted more crime than was previously thought, see John Lott’s “More Guns, Less Crime”.
Once again this one issue was not enough for me to trash the book. The basics included in this book are the best foundation for self defense I have ever seen.

Customer Review: The book is a common sense approach to not becoming a victim
Since I am one of Mr. Hardy’s students, I was required to read the book for promotion in the martial arts. The book contains practical guidelines for avoiding possible dangerous situations. The ten tips that Mr. Hardy conveys in the book are tips that every person should learn and practice. I know for a fact that many of these techniques will work. For example, I was once approached by a person whom I felt meant me harm. I calmly looked the person in the eye and said something about helping the police look for a suspect. The look on that person’s face was of utter suprise. He mumbled a few words and went on his way. I never took my eyes off him, and I never let him invade my space. Unlike most martial arts books, Mr. Hardy’s book does not teach the novice how to punch, kick, or block, but rather he teaches them ways in which they will not become victims. For anyone who fears becoming a victim in our dangerous world, I would advise them to read this book. IT MAY JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE!
