Eyes Wide Open: Bodyguard Strategies for Self-protection - Tapa blanda

Offering techniques trusted by trained bodyguards, this guide to self-protection takes the reader beyond self-defense, offering an insider's tips on discouraging the attention of a "human predator," increasing awareness of one's surroundings, utilizing specific defensive techniques, and avoiding being an easy target. Detailed case studies of everyday people who have suffered violent assaults are followed by an analysis of what went right or wrong, as well as alternative actions and reactions to the assault—all in the hopes of increasing chances of survival in the case of an attack and, more importantly, preventing an attack from ever occurring.
