Each of us can become a victim of violence, and each of us should learn to defend ourselves as quickly and effectively as possible. The authors focus on the changes that take place in the human body, especially in the brain, during a conflict situation. In the next part, they deal with teaching self-defense, describing individual self-defense techniques. They are dedicated specifically to the self-defense of women and girls. The book contains valuable advice in the field of conflict prevention, discusses behavior in the event of an impending conflict, and practical instructions in case it has already occurred. The interpretation is accompanied by a number of illustrative photographs.
