Book Description
FIND CONFIDENCE in SELF-DEFENCE Culture is a transient beast; it is ever-changing and always evolving into new 'traditions'. Martial culture and values are no less so and are constantly being upgraded with the varying conditions of society. Likewise, personal self-defence needs to move with the times. Following suggestions from the publisher and interested readers, this work is the amalgamation of two previous books by the author in the "Karate, kobudo & Te" series "(Book One & Book Two)" on decoding self-defence for everyone. It puts the science thereof into dual perspective. Both former books are reproduced herein as Part One and Part Two, with some editing of the original text, the addition of a General Foreword and the revamping of the Epilogue Notes. It is believed that this two-in-one, united arrangement will be extremely helpful for those wishing to learn practical self-defence in an ever-changing and challenging world. The work is also an invaluable textbook for serious martial-arts' teachers, researchers and trainees, as well as for those who seek better personal protection in the street.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
TRAIN, READ, LEARN, RESEARCH & BE WISE! Self-defence is the vital tip of the iceberg of martial arts training, the hardened stabbing end that will win through. "KARATE, KOBUDO & TE, Self-Defence Decoded (Book One) Fists to Clubs & Staves", deals directly with these aspects as they pertain to preservation of life and our loved ones. The book details the cold, hard facts of how to aggressively maim and kill, or conversely how to avoid, hold back and control. It answers, why we train like we do and the necessity of 'standing up to he bully' who uses fists, or wields blunted implements. It outlines the results of training and describes how the applications are adaptable to attack situations, be they by individuals or groups, in the open air or in enclosed spaces. All the while however, the concerns for health and the duty-of-care for others is underlined.

Book Description
Okinawan te is an ancient martial art that has empty-hand applications & a bladed-weaponry system. Frequently referred to simply as te, it became the underlying attribute of karate & gave this newer, popular martial art its effectiveness as a flexible & healthful method of self-defence against attackers. Modern-day karate in general has lost much of the original te on which it was founded. Yet, whenever the topic of self-defence is discussed, or when people feel a need to learn a martial art that will protect them if attacked in the street, they generally think of taking up karate, without being aware of its deeper origins. Within these pages then is the serious martial artists chance to study, learn, train in & put into practice the almost lost methods of Okinawan te, here decoded into effective self-defence methods that, while saving life & limb, will help to create all-round health.

Book Description
Probably the 1st English book to record the use of pressure points in self-defence. This historic work was a breakthrough in its day & remains a classic. Until the publication of 'Tricks of Self-Defence, A Useful Book for Everybody', in about 1910, most of the English books on jujitsu and connected martial arts dealt more with the systems in question. These were often quite complicated & took time to master. W. H. Collingridge's concept was to publish a practical, illustrated textbook for the everyday person, outlining the effective applications that anyone can easily pick up for self-defence. The result was this book, which graphically outlines 33 'Standing Positions', and 9 'Ground Tricks'. All of these require little space to practise and notably some use arm or wrist grappling, while applying pressure to nerve points. In these respects, 'Tricks of Self-Defence, A Useful Book for Everybody', is considered to be the 1st of its kind in English to record Japanese techniques of applied practical self-defence.
