The Techniques illustrated in this book are but a set of tools, what one will get from them another will not and it is up to you on how they are perceived and used. I like to compare it to an artist with a blank canvas, ready with paint and brushes. Sometimes the artist may not know exactly what he may create, but he or she is ready with that brush loaded with paint. You don’t have to be familiar with martial arts to follow these self-protection tools. Yet, any experienced martial artist will benefit from the directness and simplicity of Streetwise Basics.
