Most violence does not begin with punches.
It begins with pressure, positioning, and hesitation.
Quick Defense is a reality-based guide to personal safety built on awareness, restraint, and decisive action—designed for real people facing real-world threats. This is not a sport manual or a collection of flashy techniques. It is a practical system focused on avoiding danger, recognizing threats early, and responding effectively when escape is still possible.
Written by David Burnell, a veteran instructor with decades of experience in operational training, rescue environments, and high-stress decision-making, Quick Defense emphasizes what actually works under pressure—not what looks impressive in a gym.
Inside, you’ll learn:
How violence really unfolds—and how to recognize it early
Situational awareness and boundary setting that reduce risk
Simple, reliable defensive techniques that function under stress
How to escape grabs, strikes, chokes, and ground threats
Why balance, movement, and decision-making matter more than strength
How to disengage safely and move toward help
Each technique is supported by clear black-and-white instructional illustrations to aid visual learning, while emphasizing that true self-defense requires awareness, judgment, and practice—not memorization.
Quick Defense is not about becoming aggressive or fearless.
It is about being prepared, present, and capable of acting when it matters.
If your goal is not to fight—but to survive, disengage, and go home—this book was written for you.
