Book Synopsis



The purpose of this book is to teach women of all ages to ”Defend Against Attack’. Understanding how, with what, and when it is likely to occur. Providing a definitive guide to Street Self Defence for the beginner.



With the aid of over 250 photos, it covers attack reconstructions based on real life stories gathered from the victims, and information collated from youth offenders and other individuals responsible. Using the traditional and popular style of Shōtōkan Karate. Frank teaches with relative ease the safest forms of punching, kicking and blocking against individual and multiple attackers. One tutorial examines the varying types of attackers, whilst another looks at linking human behaviour to animals explaining negative body language. Which begs to ask the question: “What role do people play in becoming victims?”



“If you anticipate an attack you are less likely to be afraid of it!”



Frank also looks at specifics; attacks at night, at the home, and some safety measures when walking on your own. Strangle holds, arm locks and knife attacks being just a few of the many practical lesson plans covered.



An important part of the learning refers to what is termed ‘MAT’ (Mental Awareness Training) involving simple yet effective methods of assessing threatening situations with many useful life saving tips!



Defending Against Attack is the product of his time spent in the UK and abroad with organisations that deal with violence on a daily basis. Helping you achieve more confidence, alertness and overall fitness, whilst reducing stress and the fear of attack by preparing for it.
