His training covered all the different types of unarmed fighting . . . a most unusual background in an area where specialized training was the tradition. By the time he was fifteen Mr. Tegner was already a pro- fessional: instructor and at seventeen he achieved the rank of Second Black Belt . . . then the youngest American to receive this honor. Mr. Tegner served in the armed forces of the United States as an instructor in charge of training teachers of Judo and Karate for the regular Army, Military Police, Marines, and special Ranger units. After leaving the Army Mr. Tegner continued to improve his teaching methods with the aim of perfecting a system which would be most useful for Americans. Mr. Tegner has taught professionally since 1945 and since 1952 has had his own school in Hollywood where he hhas taught thousands of men, women, and children. In addition to work at his own school, Mr. Tegner has devised a special course of instruction used by law enforce- ment agencies throughout the country and has been em- ployed by the United States government to instruct border- patrol personnel and Treasury agents. Movie and TV studios frequently call upon him for expert technical advice, Bruce Tegner is the author of 11 other books in the field and he considers this one his most complete and up-to-date text.Introduction For many years the arts of self-defense were kept the secret of a small group of teachers and students who did not wish the general public to learn them. In order to accomplish this they developed a mysterious, difficult, and, in many cases, boring teaching procedure in which the student spent arduous months learning the simplest tech- niques and was forced to practice them numberless times before moving on to new ones. Iwas brought up under this Oriental method of teaching and have come to realize how unsatisfactory it is for the American student of self-defense. The old style of training, still followed by many in- structors, demands an Oriental-way-of-life approach which is rooted in feudal Asia and is totally inappropriate today. Incredible as it may seem, some traditional schools still teach a technique meant for the sole purpose of crashing through Samurai armor. ‘These ritual oriented teachers prefer to perpetuate the traditional harsh methods of instruction instead of trying to modemize and popularize the unarmed arts. Thus they prevent any but the most exceptional student fram succeed- ing in his trai ‘However, in many ways it is more important to encour age the least, rather than the most, skillful to participate in physical activity. So it is with the unarmed arts. The timid, fearful child needs self-defense instruction much more than the hardy, vigorous child, and the enrichment of life which accompanies the learning and cccomplish- ment that can be found through this book is most useful to those who lack confidence and self-esteem. Such people are the least likely to survive ae “proving” period of the traditional method of trai ‘A second great Bclcad of ta Gd eis OF essing is thet it is based on a specific defense for each specific attack, and since there are literally thousands of ways of making attacks, thousands of different defenses had to be learned. ‘The period required to learn the many defense “tricks” made it impossible to learn anything at all practical in less than several years of study. What I have done in my school and have now put down in this book is to develop a method which is useful in types of situations, rather than in specific situations. Thus, a small number of techniques taught in a short time will achieve the same result as years of training the old-fashioned way. Because of this a student who has tained for a month with my method may be much better prepared than a student of the traditional style who has trained for a year. Other modifications and moderniza which I have introduced to make the ancient arts serve us better for our present-day needs are explained throughout the text. This book has been many years in preparation. The techniques which are described are the result of years of testing and selection and are the same that you would receive as a student in my school. In teaching thousands of men, women, and children, Ihave seen them grow in many other ways besides in their ability to defend themselves. I hope that this course will give you, as it has given them, a new sense of acitievement and confidence, of power and dignity. BRUCE TEGNERContents ABOUT BRUCE TEGNER INTRODUCTION.

At first you will be learning the form of the techniques, and it does not help either your learning process or your partner's to offer resistance, of to attempt to outwit him. Beginners must think of themselves as beginners. A driving instructor does not take you for your first lesson onto a busy freeway, but starts the learning process on a deserted street. As your skill increases, te will allow you to drive into moderate traffic and then into heavy traffic as you learn to handle the situation. The same is true of this training. It would be foolish for you to expect to learn any technique so well during the first few days that you could execute it properly and swiftly against actual attack, You should start without any resistance from your partner. As you make progress, your partner may cffer some oppo- sition. As you make further progress, he should offer more resistance until you are able to execute a technique without his cooperation. Eventually you will achieve the skill, quick reaction, speed of execution, and control of power which makes the defense effective on the street, BY THE NUMBERS You will learn best if you follow the training plan exactly as it is presented. First, do the techniques in slow motion and by the numbers. Study the photographs and compare them with what you are doing. Correct any mistakes you make before going on. Work along fromi photo to photo, carefully and slowly. ‘When you thoroughly understand the “pieces” of each defense, you may begin to perform them still slowly and without hesitation as a single continuous motion, Your aim should be a smooth and accurate technique. When you can perform a technique properly and smoothly, you will be ready to increase your speed as well. Do not rush through the first part of learning any tech- nique, or you will omit the solid foundation of knowledge which is essential to develop your skill fully. 18BASIC STANCES ‘Tne natural stanoe Is a relaxed standing Dosition.

In a fighting stance, you are obviously prepared for action. If, because of it, your adversary is persuaded to back down, so much the beiter. If he requires the persuasion of physical action, you can move quickly from it. “7 position: your tat and 1 Typ Krate fying tac ena} ta slash bloc.

As a general rule you should plan to spend one hour covering the techniques in each day's lesson. After the third lesson you can practice by yourself between the sessions of work with your partner. ‘You will make good progress whether the sessions with your partner are two days or a week apart. It is best not to try to rush through the lessons. Patient and steady work will accomplish more than rapid half-learning, SAFETY Tapping your partner, the ground or yourself is the signal for submission. The first and most important safety rule is to release your partner as soon as he signals. The techniques which you are learning in-this course have been effective for many thousands of years and you are not trying to prove that they work. It does not help you or your partner if you inflict pain during the practice sessions. Tapping is preferable to a verbal signal because it is more definite and because, sometimes, as in chokes, it is easier to tap than to talk. Chokes must be practiced lightly. Experiment on your- self and you will see how little pressure is needed to cause discomfort. Slight finger pressure on the windpipe or the throat hollow is painful and if you dig your fingers lightly into your own neck you will understand the effectiveness of heavier pressure. Hand and foot blows should be practiced without hurting your partner. Touch lightly in beginning practice and learn to pull your blows as you progress. If you wish to deliver moderate blows in your practice, you may improvise pad- ding for shine and forearms by using towels or other materials. If you use padding, fasten it with bandage clamps or adhesive tape. Do not use pins. Heavy blows should be practiced only against the sawdust bag. Locks and holds must be practiced with a smooth, slow action, Avoid snappy, jerky motions for locks and holds ‘As you acquire skill, you will be able to execute the holds and locks with increasing speed and yet maintain control and not hurt your partner. Be alert for your partner's signal of submission, and release instantly at the first tap. THROWING PRACTICE ‘Throwing can be learned thoroughly and with complete safety when you follow these directions exactly: Start your practice of all throws in slow motion. Skill, not speed, is essential. Speed will come to you easily when you have acquired skill. When you start your training, you may practice to the point of executing the throw, without actually throwing. For this practice, you can work on any surface. When you proceed to the actual throwing action, you must work on a cushioned surface. A grass lawn or a sandy beach will do if you do not have a gym or Judo mats at your disposal. Even when you are in the “easing down” stage of learning the throws, you will need a cushioned surface for safety. An experienced student, of course, can fall properly without hurting himself on the hard surface of a wood floor or even on cement. HAND CONDITIONING Excessive toughening of the hand results in a deformed appearance and is not required for practical self-defense. If your hands are very sensitive and you wish to toughen them moderately, soak them in salt water for a few minutes each day 25COORDINATION AND ACCURACY EXERCISE Since you are depending on skill rather than on power for the success of the techniques which you will learn in this course, you will greatly increase your proficiency by developing accuracy, coordination, and balance. One way to do this is to work with a moving target. You can make one in the following way: Using # solid rubber ball about three inches in diameter, force a cord through the center —an ice pick will normally do the job—and tie a knot to secure it, Suspend the ball where it can swing freely—a door jamb indoors, or a tree out of doors—passing the cord through an eyelet screw so that you can vary the height of the ball Suspend th also that a yeu nue eg, Prati eke at sine fanand fe wth ie aber I the Begining soe on singe Wok "Stand facng’the ell Pivot on your right foot so that the side of yeur body is tynard the bal, Lean the top per of eur boGy back draw your ltt leg up, and hick the ball wif the bottom, of You left feck. immediately afer Kicking Dace yout eft root onthe ground so that You teeain your baste, Hepat ‘ec wih your eh eo etme poting on your it fot, autre sgl ihe stra fimes nen you tan iek wll hs mar, ou may preted to racic two or more Kicks consecutively. tn the bealonog 3) nay fe ely eng etn mare tanto ine crest. ea inay Gauge rout progress by the increasing seeuracy with whieh you can Go ie nicking exerdes, scala * ims Aunt ho argc wl be a eitfcut to hit a the practice bal are raset a se SE ees ak Secor ts cea He eR tel meitvrsients BA Mea ty ee IN ra Sirtoor ne fee se eee eee Sis eee eae eile aa Ses Ti oe are Ie PE aes pale cen wc Bone La a A ee Sve Gath Sabo oe ee| HITTING WITH POWER ‘Most of us, even persons with a rather slight build, have enough power to hit with telling force by using the know!- edge of where and how to strike to good effect. Normally, we do not realize the amount of power we do possess, not having the opportunity to test it. Although it is more important to achieve accuracy and skill, it is wise to practice some full-power blows during the course of the training, In the section SAFETY you will find directions for practicing moderately heavy blows with your partner. Full-power blows cannot be practiced this way for the same reason that you cannot use a friend for target practice with a loaded gun—it is too dangerous. ‘A heavy laundry bag or duffle bag filled with wood shavings or sawdust may be used to practice heavy blows. Suspend the bag with a strong rope or chain, (The bag will exert a heavy pull, so be certain that it is well anchored.) Using the fleshy part of the ed ff Your hand, ht tratght out 2 fhe’bag.

For self-defense in a street situation, low-and-middle-area kicks are most practical. In your practice session, you should train yourself to kick high as this will automatically give you the ability to kick low as well. Moreover, it is good practice and excellent exercise. TROUBLE SPOTS AND SELECTION OF TECHNIQUES As you progress, you will find some techniques which present a problem to you, They will be different for each individual, and work which is easy for one partner to learn may be difficult for the other partner. The first few times you try any new technique it will seem strange and awkward. It is only after you have made considerable effort that you can determine those techniques which are suited to your style and those which are not. ‘You will find that some techniques are more natural for youthan others. ‘Rather than waste time trying to conquer any single technique which continues to give you trouble, spend your time perfecting the techniques you prefer. You will ican more in this course than you ever need to know for prac- tical self-defense. Thus it is much more useful to have a smaller number of defenses and do them well than it is to have a large number of defenses only partially learned. DON'T FORGET . Don't Forget is a section in each lesson to check you on the essential action in the day’s work In class work, under the supervision of the instructor, these are the points which the teacher will make most often. The section is, therefore, a repetition of instruction in the lesson which merits your special attention. USES OF YELLING AND OTHER SOUNDS Yelling and other sounds are physical and psychological aids in learning and in using self-defense techniques. ‘As a physical aid you can compare yelling to the uncon- scious grunt which most people make when they lift a heavy object. We commonly accompany an extreme phys- ical effort with a sudden exhalation of breath, with or without sound, The effect of this is to tighten the muscles of the abdomen and add power te our physical action. ‘A yell helps to release extra energy when it is most needed. ‘The psychological effects of yelling are well known to everyone. Yelling will scare your opponent as the whooping Indians and screaming foot soldier can testify. Not only does the yell scare your enemy, but it will confuse him and give you additional courage. 30 The First Day Before beginning any practice of the exercises, reail the ntroductory material carefully. The techniques which you will practice on the first day are neither difficult nor complicated. Move through them slowly and gently, and do not expect to be perfect at the beginning, Be content if you get the “feel” of the ‘actions Guring the first lesson. LESSON OUTLINE Straight-Arm Bar.

The technique is not practical against an opponent who is threatening a fist- fighting attack, or in any other serious situation. The specific actions of the opponent are not important, but the general situation is one in which a belligerent, possibly drunken, adversary moves forward with a reaching action, intent on pushing, pulling or grabbing you. Remember that in a great number of attacks, your adversary must reach out for you. It is at the reaching-out point that you should apply the arm bar. our pacer (ight reaches Tersedteean open Rana teettto gh wrQt'anu Rs am ride tthe pene centr 91s ‘ote. forearm wich i about 212" Bein {ferelbo thie reduces ni resist nee to your next sion 2, With your right Nand, arasp his 4, Keeping his captured arm pulled Siraight sire storply against Ns bon with the center of your lft foretm yeu Ske, oat his ‘wrist up, foring him this hnees you eon push forware with Your ‘eit Preset ana Cento 4, Step back with your rig foot Jina st potion ae yoy turn Hfatm oveszo thet ng elgow is fonard you.

As you gain greater control of your own movements you may work with more speed and simulate a heavy blow, pulling it before making contact. WHERE AND HOW TO STRIKE Using the side of an open hand for slashing is more effective than using a fist blow, With it you may deliver a blow of considerable force without hurting your own hand, and the blow has greater penetrating power and requires less effort. A strong, heavy person can hit out blindly with some result, As we will always assume that you are smaller than your adversary, you must make every blow count, Striking into the weak and vulnerable areas of the body is your compensation for less power. Remember—a moderate blow to any nerve center will accomplish far more than your mest powerful blow struck at random. 1, The Temple Blow. strike about Lig Back trom ang slighty soove {he outer comer of the eve.

This also means that his arms are longer and that he should not be allowed to get within reach of your chin with his fist. To assure the suc- cess of your retaliation, you must first stop the intended attack, There are three parts involved in the complete fist- fighting defense which you will learn in this course: (1) stopping the attack, (2) retaliation, and (3) control. In this lesson, the partners will block one, then several, then many blows.’In a fight, You are not expected to stand and block blows indefinitely. The practice of blocking is meant to build up the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of your response. At the start you may be able to block only one oF two blows of moderate speed. As you progress, you should speed up and vary the blows until both you and your partner are quick and effective in stopping the attack. 2 Fh aaciog partner strikes Sieh a a Sd of Uboer pat of the defending parte Tere Beds.

When practicing, don't strike, just press at the elbow. In actual use, strike hard. * Touch lightly when practicing Where and How to Strike. Use the fleshy part of the edge of the hand, not the bony edge or fingers. + Blocking is a snappy, bouncing action. Avoid trying to push at the attacking arm, Avoid hitting across the body. ‘Use your left arm to block his right arm and your right arm to block his left arm. + When you are practicing how to fall, your head should never touch the ground. Your hands should slap in close to your body before your upper back touches the ground. Use a gentle, rolling back motion in the fall, and avoid driving or thrusting yourself backward. ‘+ When balancing yourself for the Hip Throw, your knees must be slightly bent and pointed outward, Your weight must be distributed equally on both feet. 40) 1st Day The Second Day Begin by reviewing briefly everything in the first day's iesoam, ou will seed this review foe tox fot few lessons i order to help you retain what you have learned.

FIST-FIGHTING DEFENSE—Block and Throw After blocking and retaliating with hand and foot blows, complete the defensive action in a fist fight by subduing, your adversary with a throw. ‘Quite possibly you will have stopped the fist-fighting attack when you have blocked your opponent's blows (see {he first day's lesson). Sometimes the fight continues to the stage of striking and kicking (see the second day's lesson). Less often you will be forced to finish the fight with a throw. Putting your adversary on the ground is both a physical and a psychological victory. You should learn the full action as if it were necessary in every case so that you ‘can carry through to the end if necessary. The situation will determine how your adversary is to be thrown, If you are mainly concerned with a pyycho- logical vietory, you may lower him to the ground, support- ing part of his weight as he goes over. If you are dealing with a more serious attack, you may either throw your adversary with ordinary force or dash him heavily to the ground. ‘Note: Never attempt a throw without using the weaken- ing techniques first. Unless you take the fight out of your adversary, it is very difficult and impractical to :ry to throw 52 | 3rd Day him. Only a person with many years of training in Judo could move quickly enough for throw against an experi- enced street fighter. In the movies the villains go flying over the heroes’ shoulders because they are paid to do so, but you had better be more careful and less showy. sfonde agar 2, svn an yr pet pimbveatarbmelgr Ear a ae recpaers eee ESVeaN Gea, aerate UG RRM at Se Mia es Bag eree eS.

Only by trying tke blows against all the areas, and alternating your right and left hands, will you be able to determine the most practical type of blow for your actual use. As with the various types of technique shown in the course, you wil scon find that you have favorite blows. Without neglecting the blows you find less easy to do, stress the practice of your best blows so that you gain a strong repertoire of effective ways of striking.

Learning a specific defense for each specific attack is highly impractical because there are literally thousands of different ways of attacking. It is much better to learn a small number of defenses which will be useful in many situations, There are, however, some situ- ations which are so common as to be best coun-ered by a special defense.

Try to move to the side of your opponent when threatened by a fist attack. Two kicks are generally sufficient to discourage an adversary, but be prepared for as many as are needed. Do not rush in for the arm lock until your opponent is obviously weakened. + Neck-Lock Hip Throw: Do not fling your partner down in practicing this throw. You cannot offer him any support and must therefore be especially careful to observe the safety rules. You should have a good surface for practicing this throw. ‘96 8th Day The Ninth Day For those who wish to concentrate on throwing tech niques a new method of practicing may now be used. When the partners take turns moving into position for a throw ‘without saying in advance which one they are going to use, it is called Give and Take Practice, The partner who is being thrown should work as actively at falling properly as his partner does at throwing properly. The throwing partner should always finish in a strong balanced “T" position; the partner who is receiving should end in a good protected position. Compare your positions with the photos to check the endings and then correct any mistakes.

Think of street defenses as being divided into two categories: (1) the simple defenses appropriate to situations that are simply annoying, and (2) the stronger defenses and retaliation justified by serious attacks. As you distinguish between these situations, you will find yourself making proper responses in your training practice.

Maintain a firm grip on the receiver's sleeve and lapel to ease the fall Answers on page 224.The Eleventh Day You are now at the half-way point in your training and should be aware of those techniques which are most suit- able for you and those which you can eliminate. As this decision will be different for each individual, partners should not attempt to influence each other. Since you are being shown many more techniques than you will ever need for practical defense, it is wise for you to choose those which work best for you and intensify your training in them.

The fist-fighting defenses which you have already learned are useful in situations where you have had some warning of the attack. In a rushing and out-of-fist- range attack, you will have time to respond with your strongest defense first—kicking.

Do not try to reason or plead with a gang, for they would not be attacking a single individual if they were reasonable. The sadistic pleasure which a gang is looking for depends on the helplessness of their intended victim and anyone who puts up the slightest amount of skilled resistance has a good chance of escaping a beating. Fear on the part of the intended victim only increases the sadistic pleasure which they seek; opposition will discourage them. You must attack first. Unless you do, you will be attacked simultaneously and find yourself in ‘the worst position possible. You must attack either the end person closest to you, the largest person, or the leader. When you attack, you must move quickly to the outside of the gang. Do not allow yourself to be caught between two people. Do not attack head-on, Attack from the side and work around to the rear. Emphasize kicking and yelling as your most important technique. From reports which have come from my students, many intended gang beatings have been stopped when the intended victim has visibly hurt one person in the gang, Gang members who attack an individ- ual are not brave people, and they do not ordinarily expect to get hurt.

Keep in mind that throwing techniques are not absolutely necessary for strong street- defense, However, for those people who wish to develop throwing ability, or to prepare for advanced training in Judo, sparring is the best way to practice. Sparring is the next step beyond give-and-take throwing from a standing position. Both you and your partner start in motion, holding on to each other in the usual manner for throwing practice. Sliding your ‘eet almost as though you were dancing is the ideal way to move. Your arms should be constantly pulling and twisting your partner in the attempt to put him in a weak, off-balance position. Do not jerk or muscle your way into the throw. Gentle but constent guiding motions are better than strong-arm at tempts, In Judo sparring you should not try to pit your strength against your partner’s strength, but rather to test your skill. Your ability to react quickly, to recognize the throw which can be used in any of the off-balance posi- tions, to execute the throws in good form—this is the essence of proper sparring practice. DONT FORGET Fighting Defense—Parry and Take-down: Duck your read out of your adversary’s fist range and parry at his forearm. Do not parry at his upper arm. + Gun Defense—Back Attack: Determine which hand holds the gun. DISTRACT. Go into action quickly.

With the confidence of your training to back you up, you will discover that you have much greater control of situations which might previously have resulted in physical violence. Even the tone of your voice will clearly indicate that you do not wish to fight, but that you are quite prepared if necessary to fight and win, If an obnoxious person raises his voice, lower yours. Remember that there are many kinds of courage. When you can accept the idea of walking away from a fight, you have achieved a discipline which adds to your character. Knowing that you could, if necessary, subdue an adversary, you may decline to do so with dignity whenever you have that opportunity. Never retaliate beyond the need of the situation.

It is normal for students to favor some of the techniques over others. Since we all have different types of bodies and different ways of using them for physical action, it is logical that we should find some techniques better suited to our personal style than others. If you have achieved real skill in only half of the defenses in the course, you have a good reserve for practical use. You may continue beyond the course, practicing the defenses for exercise, coordination, and body toning. Perhaps the best method of increasing your skill is to instruct_a new partner. This will further solidify your knowledge and give you, in addition, the marvelous satis- faction of teaching, If you continue to practice with your original partner, you may improvise combinations of defenses based on your favorite techniques and practice for speed and precision. Instructing a woman or a child is different from instruet- ing or practicing with a new male partner, With a new male partner, patience is important, but you must develop new skills (and extraordinary patience) if you are to be a good instructor for a woman or a child. In fact, the success ful training of a woman or a child can be taken as an indication of your ability to teach well and is an accom- plishment of which you may be proud, In the following sections you will find special material which will help you in this type of instruction, 201How to Teach Self-Defense to a Child PATIENCE, TEACHER: Whether or not you have achieved a high degree of proficiency in self-defense skills, you can teach your child, The ability to teach does not necessarily accompany the ability to perform the skill which is being taught. There are many professional foot- ball and basketball coaches who cannot play the games nearly as well as the athletes they are instructing and there are music teachers who cannot perform as well as their students. It is possible therefore for you to teach your child before you have become an expert in the unarmed arts yourself. Understanding and patience will be your most important tools in teaching successfully. Although the learning proc- ess requires patience, teaching requires even greater pa- tience and a constant attempt by the teacher to understand the student’s problems and to overcome them CONFIDENCE AND MORAL SUPPORT FOR THE PEACEABLE CHILD Surprisingly the child who benefits most from learning Judo-Karate self-defense is the child who is not physically ageressive and who shys away from fighting for it is to this child that the confidence and self-esteem that he gains can ‘be most important. The child who is either afraid to defend himself or physically unable to suffers intensely when he is forced to run from a fight or lose it. The small boy has obvious disadvantages; however, even the tall, timid boy is constantly put upon by other children who know his weak- ness, Such a child is frequently doubly ashamed of himself —once for the humiliation he suffers at the hands of other youngsters, and again for not coming up to what he feels are your standards. Unfortunately the society in which we live has a peculiar 202 double standard relating to physical violence. At school, at church, in books we teach our children that fighting is bad; however, the glorification of violence which our children see on TV and in movies, cartoons, and “comic” books must outweigh wiser guidance. The boy who wants to avoid fighting needs stronger moral support than we give him to have the confidence of having a principled position, As intelligent adults, we do not admire men whose only one response to an argument is a punch in the nose. At the same time we pity the man whose only response to a punch. in the nose is to run away. It is important that you make it clear to your child that you do not want him to be aa aggressive, bullying person; however every child should be able to stop an attack, and, if necessary, subdue his adver- sary. With that ability to give him confidence, your child may even decline to fight and do so with dignity. ‘There are children who find fighting so repugnant that although they can learn to stop an attack, they will not retaliate, Such children must not be forced to push beyond their natural inclination. Happily, stopping the attack is very often sufficient to put an end to bullying. ENCOURAGEMENT IS IMPORTANT Encourage the child throughout the training, and remem- ber that if he has difficulty in learning, your encouragement is needed all the more. Anyone can learn the techniques in this course. Mentally retarded children and physically handicapped children (including blind children), as well as very bright children with serious problems of mind-body coordination have mastered them. Doctors and teachers report that these children have gained great advantages from their training, whether they have achieved a high degree of proficiency or have mastered only a few simple techniques for limited use. Whatever the problem confront- ing the child whom you wish to teach, he can learr. if you are sufficiently patient and encouraging, Always phrase your instruction in positive terms. Avoid saying, “That is wrong.” Say, instead, “The proper way to do that . . .” You may encourage the child by praising effort or improvement but do not praise falsely because this will undermine your position of authority. Avoid a critical tone, and make corrections in a matter-of-fact manner, 203THE SECRET WEAPON At the beginning of the training, especially, you must ‘make the child understand that he is not to “plty” with his new knowledge and show off to other children what he has learned. If he tries it too soon, he may not succeed and will lose confidence in the practicality of his techniques. Explain that what he is learning is his “secret weapon” to be used when needed. If he gives away the secret, he will lose the advantage of surprise in making his defense. KICKING IS JUSTIFIED FOR DEFENSE The accusation of being a “poor sport” is one which children greatly fear. In justifying the use of kicking for street defense it is necessary to point out the fact that there are no “Queensberry rules” in street fighting, Sporting rules apply to contests which are controlled and supervised, not to bullying and vicious attacks. A bully has violated every concept of sportsmanship when he attacks an unwilling and seemingly helpless person, and he is not entitled to the protection of the rules he has ignored. TEACHING HINTS It is best to give a child verbal instructions rather than demonstrating with your hands, If the child has come to dislike physical contact, he will not respond well to being handled while he is trying to learn. If you need to move him into position, use a firm, but not rough, action Observe all the Safety Rules as given in the Preliminary Instruction. A very timid child should be allowed to inflict some slight pain on his partner or instructor to indicate to hhim that the techniques are effective. As he gains confi- dence, he will be able to take slight pain himself, but you must be very careful not to let him be hurt by carcless pressure in the beginning or you will create a serious resist- ance to further training Usually you can judge a child's progress by his manner of gripping. At the start of the training, if he is instructed to grip his partner, he is likely to do so with a rigid, inflex- ‘ible hold, or with a soft, lifeless hand. As he gains con- fidence, he will be able to use a firm, controlled grip. Other indications of confidence are a strongly balanced stance 204 and controlled, strong simulated blows. It is not required that you train a child in a Judo or Karate suit, but it does add a feeling of authenticity to the training and is a psychological aid if he has to change into a uniform. WHAT TO TEACH A CHILD Your own judgment will have to determine what is suit- able for your child to learn. The circumstances of his everyday encounters and his aptitude and his preferences of techniques must be taken into account. The special section of work for children in this chapter is based on common situations which are encountered by children more often than by adults. In addition to these special tech- niques, you should take the child slowly through all the lessons in this course, eliminating those things which your good sense tells you are not necessary. Be sure to teach only the striking areas and methods of striking which are covered in this section for children. Unless your child demonstrates 2 higher degree of apt tude, you should be satisfied to teach him one or two simple arm locks. The falls are useful for safety, but need not be learned for good street defense. Concentrate on a few throws, emphasizing a front and a back tripping-type throw for practical use. Very timid or fearful children should not be thrown, or should be thrown only after they have made good progress in their training and have demonstrated a willingness to learn how to receive. WHERE AND HOW TO STRIKE Teaching a limited number of techniques to a child is better than trying to teach him many techniques. Most situations with which a boy must deal can be handled if he knows a few striking methods with his hands and feet and has learned a dozen striking areas from the front and a half-dozen from the rear. The Ways to Strike have been chosen because they are the most versatile, and children can learn them easily. The Places to Strike have been chosen because a child can hit with full force and great effectiveness at these areas without danger of serious or permanent injury.STRIKING METHODS: Hand Blows. Teach the side- of-the-hand blow, the extended-knuckle blow, the hecl-of- the-palm blow and the elbow blow. Practice using first one hand and then the other. Efficiency will be achieved when both hands can be used equally well. Practice the four types of blows against the suspended ball for coordination and against the bag for full release of power. In practice with partner, the child should only simulate the blows and barely make contact. WHERE TO STRIKE: Teach only these areas for strik- ing, They are sufficient tor children. Front: Under car, side of neck, neck muscle (do not teach windpipe), shoulder muscle, elbow, forearm, wrist, back of hand, under last rib, straight into stom- ach (do not teach upward blow into stomach), upper thigh, lower thigh, shin, ankle, instep. Rear: Side of neck, shoulder muscle, thigh, calf, ankle. As you teach, let the child try the various types of blows at all the striking areas to find the ones which work best for him, Emphasize striking at the forearm nerve center and the shoulder muscle. KICKING METHODS: Use the bottom, edges, and heel of the shoe. If barefoot, work with the bottom of the foot using the heel or ball of the foot. Emphasize kicks to the shin, Practice coordination and balance by kicking at the suspended ball, Practice full power kicks (and return to balance) by kicking at the bag.

Only a small assortment of Judo-Karate techniques is necessary for self-defense, but the method of training and the selection of techniques are of utmost importance. Attacks on women are usually made by men who do not expect any kind of skilled defense. The unprepared woman will struggle, pull hair, or beat her fists against the attacker's chest in a vain effort to defend herself. The attempt to struggle will have no effect—the attacker must be supposed to have greater strength than the woman. Pulling hair has some effect, but not enough to stop a determined man and the beating of fists on his chest is a total waste of energy. However, a “masher” can easily be discouraged. A knuckle to the back of his hand, a simple wrist lock, step- ping on his instep with high heels—any of these will work wonders. With a small selection of hand and foot blows and a knowledge of a few nerve centers, a woman is well prepared to deal with an annoying man. THE BEHAVIOR OF CONFIDENCE Fright, which is due to a total lack of preparedness, ean cause immobility. Proper training should give a woman the composure which will allow her judgment to function even in times of crisis. The confidence whieh can be gained from training can by itself avert an attack as the way in which a woman walks on the street can indicate her state of mind. There is no more terrifying situation for a woman than to imagine that she is in danger and yet not have the courage to look. She finds herself on a lonely street, hears footsteps or shuffling behind her, and dares not turn around. Because she has no way of contending with danger, she is afraid to face it and therefore leaves herself 210 in the most vulnerable possible position. When teaching a woman, your first instruction should be: never turn your back on an adversary! If danger is suspected, turn to face it. That very act may avert an attack. When she turns around to look, she may find one of these things to be true 1. There is a person behind her, but it is quite obviously someone who just happens to be going in the same direc- tion. (An abnormally fearful person will see danger in any situation; a reasonable person is Capable of mhiing a judy ment about what constitutes danger and what does not.) 2. There is someone behind her whose manner or appearance causes enough suspicion of danger that she must be alert. By knowing this beforehand she has the advantage of a precious moment in which to plan her action. Anything she does is better than nothing. She may suddenly cross the street and start walking in the opposite direction. Or she may go to a place where there is a light showing and ask for admission—even if it is a private house. If she is carrying a purse, she should open it and put her hand inside to give the impression that she is carrying a weapon. If there is danger, and she allows her- self to be attacked from the rear, a woman has placed herself in the worst possible position to make a defense. However, even in this situation she should be trained to defend herself. THE PURSE ARSENAL In every woman’s purse there is a little arsenal of com- mon articles which may be used for defense. Lipstick, a comb, a compact—are likely to be in a woman's purse at all times, Let her practice hitting with any of these articles. Random striking out will not be nearly so effective as one or two blows aimed at the proper spot, and therefore this practice should be done at specific striking areas, Other ‘weapons available in her purse may include a fingernail file, a mirror or a pen. In the event of serious deadly attack, if @ woman can put her hands on such an important weapon and strike into the throat or eyes she may save her life. It is important to make a very clear distinction between the Kinds of blows which may be used for defense against an annoying opponent and against one who is vicious or violent. anWHAT TO WEAR FOR INSTRUCTION Casual, comfortable clothes should be worn by the woman student when her training is started. As she makes progress, she should alternate training periods in these clothes and in her street wear. The kind of shoes she wears most often for street dress should be worn for kicking practice. High heels are an excellent aid to kicking, and special practice should be done if this is the type of shoe she wears frequently. Use the suspended ball for practice in coordination and balance. Low kicks, at knee-height and at the shin, are best for practical use. If the woman has great difficulty learning to kick with her high-heeled shoes, train her to take her shoes off at the first indication of danger. She can then use the shoe to good advantage as a hand weapon. WHAT TO TEACH WOMEN As a woman docs not need to know a great many techniques, it is best to teach her a limited number and let her achieve proficiency in them. Teach her the methods of striking and kicking as outlined in the children’s section, ‘Add to that the stabbing finger blows into the eyes and the side-of-the-hand blow across the windpipe, for use in defense of her life. In choosing the techniques which she should learn, you should be guided by her preference and her ability to learn. There is a wide variation in these matters, and you must approach this without any preconceptions. Do not compel your woman student to learn the techniques most: favored ‘by you. Go through the course, and offer her all the techniques in an introductory fashion. Skip those which she does not like, and concentrate on those which she prefers. Do not overwhelm her by moving too quickly or insisting that she learn too much. She is much better prepared to face danger if she knows six things well than if she has half-learned sixty techniques. YELL! You have read many newspaper accounts which say . neighbors were attracted to the scene by the screams . . .” As an aid in making her defense, and as a defense measure above, yelling is of particular importance to your woman student. In your training, place a heavy emphasis on yelling as blows are practiced. 22 the same situation, Yadetene technique’ onan may effectively defend hersoi with hand and foot Bren 2 minimum training rogram wil greatly develop Strapting x punting ig the tu "aetense” made by ‘woman wha has had ni Her adversary hai reat strangth treght making th actions waste of enetey 213Bi 163, at no none aa arc ws ely sng mal ube of techniques to best advntae, a woman can stp an ‘ge soul be fp ot for vt agnatssisluy tat, ba os na High lalate and eve fake er aoponent down ineceeary Toe rons oni tanniqus.
