Book Overview
As suggested by the title, Karate, Kobudo & Te, Self Defence Decoded (Book Two) Knives to Swords & Halberds, details the cold, hard facts of how to neutralize attackers armed with bladed weapons. Yet, this work also shows how to restrain one's actions in such circumstance. It thus gives a balanced format, explaining the moral implications of retaliatory violence that might cause life-changing injuries. Following on from (Book One) in the series, the how-to-do, format looks into aspects of self-defence as they pertain to preservation of life, primarily against bladed attacks. However, in order to protect oneself from the most prevalent dangers of life, namely ill health & disease, keeping fit with martial-art training & conditioning, within a group of respectful fellow trainees, has proven itself throughout the centuries. If vigour is the key to self-defence, the fierceness of ki energy, its explosive magma, when thrust to the surface in defiance, will overwhelm and cut through all in its path.
