"Real Self-Defense" is a comprehensive guide by Arnaud van der Veere that focuses on practical and accessible self-defense techniques for real-life situations. The book is grounded in the idea that self-defense must be effective, easy to learn, and applicable under extreme stress. It covers both physical and psychological aspects of defending oneself, recognizing that self-defense is not just about fighting but also about prevention, awareness, and mental readiness.
The book begins by discussing the difference between fighting in controlled environments (like gyms) and real-world street encounters, where there are no rules, and survival is the priority. It emphasizes that street confrontations are brutal, unpredictable, and can result in severe injury or death. Therefore, understanding the psychological aspect of self-defense, such as managing fear and adrenaline, is as crucial as the physical aspect.
Key self-defense tools include the body’s natural weapons such as the head, elbows, knees, and teeth, as well as vulnerable targets on an attacker, like the eyes, throat, and groin. The book outlines specific techniques for using these tools effectively in various scenarios, including street situations, public transportation, and home or office settings. Van der Veere emphasizes the importance of training these techniques to make them instinctive under pressure.
The book also tackles the darker side of self-defense, such as dealing with abuse within families or workplaces and defending oneself against sexual assault. It addresses the psychological impact of such experiences and provides strategies for mental recovery and legal steps to take afterward.
In addition to physical techniques, Van der Veere highlights the importance of body language, situational awareness, and verbal strategies to de-escalate potential threats before they become violent. Ultimately, "Real Self-Defense" provides a holistic approach, blending physical skills with mental resilience and tactical awareness.
