The Manual for the Modern Ninja: Positioning is a practical guide to using distance, angles, barriers, exits, witnesses, and everyday terrain to stay safer before a situation turns physical. This book teaches how to choose better space, avoid bad ground, keep exits open, use counters, cars, walls, doors, and crowds intelligently, and make the other person's approach harder before contact ever starts. Built for real life, it covers parking lots, sidewalks, apartment lobbies, store aisles, office entries, waiting rooms, school grounds, and other ordinary places where small positioning mistakes can turn into bigger problems fast. If you want a clear, realistic manual on situational awareness, personal security, environmental awareness, and practical defensive positioning without fantasy or fluff, this book shows how to win the ground first.
