INTRODUCTIONThis book has been written as a training andinformation manual for people and students who mayfind that they have to defend themselves in the streetfrom attack by those who may have such weapons asknives, bats, clubs, broken bottles, chains, or all of theabove.It is intended to be a training manual not in how to usethe weapons of the street, but rather in how to defendyour- self against unwarranted and unnecessary attack.There are a few instructions in offensive techniques, butthey are meant to be used to control the attacker till thepolice come or till help can arrive.I do not condone nor intend that this book be a manualfor those who would use weapons in the street to harmtheir fellow man for any reason.Dr. Ted Gambordella
