MASTER'S GUIDE TO BASIC SELF-DEFENSE
Progressive Retraining of the Reflexive Response
by Master Hei Long
At least once in his life, every man will stand face-to-face with an aggressor. In that moment of truth, he must be prepared to defend himself-to the death if necessary. Despite common self-defense myths, there is no deeply mysterious method by which you can touch an opponent in a strategic spot and bring him to his knees.

The core of any system of self-defense is the response to an attack. but certain natural bodily responses (such as ducking and blinking) often leave you exposed and defenseless. In an unexpected attack, none of your martial arts training is going to help you if these reflexes are allowed to take over.

Master Hei Long's training program focuses on deconditioning such counterproductive responses to assault. Through a structured learning process that combines fundamental defensive maneuvers with the retraining of the central nervous system, you will learn how to instinctively avoid common assaults and counterattack with maximum efficiency and ferocity to deftly and swiftly crush your assailant. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, illus., 124pp. $14.00
