Girl Power!

Although the book is brief and lacking in techniques, it makes up for it in explanation of warning signs and the importance of intuition. I have also read "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin De Becker, which is extremely well written. Weed often refers to that book and draws from it for her own teaching. I had the opportunity to see Erin Weed at a college demonstration for self defense. I thoroughly recommend that, if you have the opportunity, you see her in action, you will not regret it. She has the gift of being able to balance the serious with humor, and she is very well educated in the art of self defense. There are defense moves that she showed me that I will keep with me forever. She also understands the college aged woman and what she faces, which is strongly portrayed in her book. I thoroughly recommend this for women of all ages, especially women in college that may not know what dangers await them. The only reason that I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because there is just no substitute for the physical teachings of self defense. Those visuals are needed to fully grasp the concepts. But, this book comes close. Knowledge is power people!
