The Best Defense

Today’s world is more dangerous than ever before. In addition to “conventional” crimes like robbery, assault, rape, kidnapping, and murder, you must now cope with threats of home invasion, sexual predators, active shooters, and even acts of terrorism. With 911 response times averaging 10 minutes or more, you are left with one clear and inescapable truth: when it comes to keeping yourself and your loved ones safe, you are on your own. The Best Defense teaches you how to meet that daunting challenge by taking a hard look at the realities of modern crime and providing detailed instruction in skills, tactics, and habits you need to keep yourself safe. In it, Michael Janich, world-renowned self-defense authority and co-host of the popular The Best Defense television series, takes you step by step through his proven home and personal-protection methods. In the process, he provides specific tips on hardening your home security, developing a family defense plan, practical unarmed self-defense skills, improvised weapons, pepper sprays, edged weapons, firearms tactics, and self-defense for the physically challenged. More importantly, he teaches you how to recognize and avoid violent crime before it happens. Being on your own can be terrifying. The Best Defense teaches you how to take control of that fear and turn it into positive, tangible actions that will keep you safer.
