SELF-DEFENSE
NERVE CENTERS & PRESSURE POINTS is a practical
guide to the most efficent use of weaponless self-defense using the least possible force.The results of self-defense actions are described in
the most accurate way possible, taking into account
the factors of relative size, strength, health and
emotions.Modern knowledge of physiology and anatomy is
applied to this subject which has long been much
obscured by myth, superstition and legend. The
so-called "deadly" blows are evaluated. Fantasyand fact are separated.
Appropriate body targets for practical self-defensetactics are compared with point targets used instylized and traditional martial arts and in sport
tournament matches.For the teacher and student of self-defense or
of any specialty of the martial arts this bookwill be an important reference source.

People learning to defend themselves againstassault ought not to be trained as though they werepreparing for warfare. The concepts, techniques andmethods appropriate for training Samurai warriors are notthose appropriate for teaching self-defense as a practicalskill for today.The legal and moral definition of self-defense expresslylimits the degree of force to the
least 
which can be usedto avert, stop, or escape from an intended assault.In old-style self-defense, every assault is viewed as a veryvicious assault. Real life is different. There are degrees of
