World-renowned Kung Fu Master Waysun “Johnny” Tsai shares his practical self defense techniques in this book, which allows one to understand and control combat distances and defense angles. Shaolin Kung Fu offers a unique understanding of violence and how to avoid conflict, yet even with these tools, situations arise that force the use of these methods. Tsai explains each move with photographs in a detailed format, explaining ways to protect oneself, read an opponent, block the assault, and injure the attacker. Techniques explained in this instructional guide include how to defend against an attacker’s punch, kick, or grab, knowing which target areas to utilize when caught in a bear hug grab, and ways to attack quickly to defend against a knife or multiple attackers.

Tricks of Self-defence: A Useful Book for Everybody


Book Description

Until the publication of 'Tricks of Self-Defence' in about 1910, most, if not all, of the English language books on jujitsu and connected martial arts dealt more with the systems in question. These were often quite complicated and took time to master. W. H. Collingridge's concept was to publish a more practical, illustrated textbook for the everyday person in the street, outlining the effective applications that anyone can easily pick up in order to defend themselves. The result was this book which graphically outlines thirty-three 'Standing Positions', and nine 'Ground Tricks'. All of these require little space to practise and notably some use arm or wrist grappling, while applying pressure to nerve or pressure points. In these respects, 'Tricks of Self-Defence, A Useful Book for Everybody', is considered to be the first of its genre in English to record Japanese techniques of applied practical self-defence.
