Self-defense for your child
SELF-DEFENSE for YOUR CHILD is a fully-illustrated, clearly explained practical course for parents and teachers of elementary school age boys and girls. The techniques are appropriate for that age level; they are easy to learn and easy to remember. They are effective without being violent.
The course is based on ancient jujitsu methods, but the ceremonial and complicated techniques have been eliminated to meet modern needs.
Assertive behavior to minimize the threat of assault is emphasized. Self-defense is viewed not as preparation to fight, but as instruction in attitudes and procedures to avoid becoming a victim of assault.
