Many people in the traditional martial arts community were harsh critics of Bruce Tegner. This is because Mr. Tegner's approach to self-defense took a more realistic and simple approach to learning self-defense and the martial arts. He always emphasized that learning effective self-defense is not mystical in anyway. This particular book covers all the basic technqiues and self-defense responses to numerous types of attacks, This book shows how to counter punching, kicking, grabs, chokes and other attacks. In conclusion, this book like any other physical skills text in that it has limitations. Using this text in combination with actual training with a competent self-defense instructor will produce the best results.

This attack, growing out of purely defensive tactics, can be applied in many degrees up to killing a person in self defense. There are instances when a person needs to take the defensive as the most convenient means. In other cases an individual may be relegated to the defense, but necessarily must switch to attack...

Combat aircraft are often adorned with markings and insignia much in excess of their national liveries. Individual and unit art make warplanes some of the most colorful and expressive engines of war ever fielded by man. This series celebrates the great variety of colors worn by aircraft types and groups - heraldry, nose art, tail art, badges and pretty much any form aircraft are painted to evoke pride and panache. For some reason Squadron changed the book numbering system in this series after 6506 to the 656x series. Only eleven books were published in the Fighting Colors series.
