World-renowned Kung Fu Master Waysun "Johnny" Tsai shares his practical self defence techniques in this book, which allows one to understand and control combat distances and defense angles. Shaolin Kung Fu offers a unique understanding of violence and how to avoid conflict, yet even with these tools, situations arise that force the use of these methods. Tsai explains each move with photographs in a detailed format, explaining ways to protect oneself, read an opponent, block the assault, and injure the attacker. Techniques explained in this instructional guide include how to defend against an attacker's punch, kick, or grab, knowing which target areas to utilise when caught in a bear hug grab, and ways to attack quickly to defend against a knife or multiple attackers. These proven methods have been used by women, executives, and FBI agents, among others, to provide personal confidence to help them defend themselves in any threatening situation.
Waysun "Johnny" Tsai oversees Tsai's Kung Fu International headquarters in Chicago and has taught these techniques to over 3,000 students. Tsai holds an 8th degree black sash in Shaolin Chaun Fa Kung Fu and in Tai Kit Kuen Kung Fu. Paula Lazarz is a 3rd degree black sash, and has been practicing Shaolin Kung Fu since 1992. She was a National Black Belt League regional forms champion in 2003.
