  From a ninth Dan Master, a guide to disabling anyone using minimal force, with 300 step-by-step photos showing each vital point and strike.  
   
  Ancient martial arts legends tell of masters who possess a mysterious ability to defeat an opponent—and in some cases even cause death—with one perfectly placed blow. The Secret Art of Pressure Point Fighting transforms the myth into a modern, anatomically—based self-defense technique that allows smaller defenders to defeat larger attackers by striking at the vulnerable points on their bodies.  
   
  Written by one of the world’s leading authorities and clearly illustrated with photos of each pressure point, this book shows how knowledge of the body’s vulnerable points can enhance both competitive fighting and personal self-defense skills. The Secret Art of Pressure Point Fighting doesn’t teach theoretical strikes, it presents the actual moves used throughout the world by military special forces and law enforcement agencies to disable opponents as quickly as possible. The moves in this book are straightforward and easy to learn. They are designed to empower anyone—regardless of size or physical strength—with the ability to stop an attacker using a minimal amount of physical strength.

  How Can I Help? - Stories and...

  Ram Dass, Paul Gorman

  Not a day goes by without our being called upon to help one another — at home, at work, on the street, on the phone.... We do what we can. Yet so much comes up to complicate this natural response: "Will I have what it takes?" "How much is enough?" "How can I deal with suffering?" "And what really helps, anyway?"In this practical helper's companion, the authors explore a path through these confusions and provide support and inspiration for us in our efforts as members of the helping professions, as volunteers, as community activists, or simply as friends and family trying to meet each other's needs. Here, too, are deeply moving personal accounts: A housewife brings zoo animals to lift the spirits of nursing home residents; a nun tends the wounded on the first night of the Nicaraguan revolution; a police officer talks a desperate father out of leaping from a roof with his child; a nurse allows an infant to spend its last moments of life in her arms rather than on a hospital machine.From many such stories and the authors' reflections, we can find strength, clarity, and wisdom for those times when we are called on to care for one another. How Can I Help? reminds us just how much we have to give and how doing so can lead to some of the most joyous moments of our lives.
