Can intuition help when you are faced with violence?
Legally, do you have to wait for someone to strike first before you can defend yourself? What are the best techniques to use if your assailant is stronger and more skilled than you are? And what about defending against weapons and even gang attacks?
Drawing from more than two decades of international experience – including providing security to aid workers in Iraq and teaching his own system of self-defence to the American FBI, the British SAS and Nelson Mandela's bodyguard team – Robert Redenbach provides proven strategies and concise, honest advice on what it really takes to protect yourself and the people you care about.

A former member of the Australian Defence Force, Rob Redenbach has managed a security company in Papua New Guinea, worked with the bodyguard team of Nelson Mandela in South Africa, taught his own system of defensive tactics to the American FBI and British special forces and provided security services to aid-workers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
