This is the fifth book in the Practical Karate series. Like its predecessors, it is a categorized collection of self-defense situations and recommended karate responses. All methods described are workable responses based on meeting an unarmed, single male assailant. It might be of additional interest to women students of karate to study the fundamentals found in boks 1-4, even though these are basically books for male students.
Mastery of the responses in this text will not make the reader invincible in personal encounters, but it will cetrtainly better prepare her should defense of her life or that of others become necessary. But only practice will bring results.
Masatoshi Nakayama, Chief Instructor of the Japan Karate Association, and Donn F. Draeger, a well-known instructor of combative arts, have authored this book to porvide a system of self-defense for the busy individual.
'Here you are girls, just what you've needed-a sure-fire way to ward off the unwanted attention....I am certain that this book well serves its purpose...'-(D.R.)The Japan Times
'(The book) has 118 pages, is amply illustrated, and should at all costs be kept away from the little woman...'-Tookyo Hilton Hotel Magazine
'The authors do not purport to turn out a legion of females Karate experts. They have selected responses for the aveage woman....The authors are generous with advice and warning. They have worked out terse descriptions of the action in each instance so that it can be rapidly grasped.'-The Mainichi Shimbun
'Here then are the correct responses, none of them delicate and none of them really improper....the authors make no attempt to daze their readers with the high-flown technique of top karate experts. The instuction is simple, the picture explicit. The average woman should be able, as a result and after a little practice, to extricate herself from the most delicate of situations or brutal assault.'-The Straits Times (Hong Kong)
Nakayama: We select here several techniques you will be able to master with comparative ease.
Draeger: The few minutes a day you must spend in practice will never be wasted.
