Batman is not a Superhero! But if you know anything from the comics, Bruce Wayne/Batman trains 3-4 hours a day and can bench press over a ton. He has black belts in 134 martial arts and has studied at every prestigious university. When you list all his abilities and accomplishments… He might as well be!

Most of us are not as gifted as Bruce Wayne. But we work, have families, are busy. It is nearly impossible to train like professional athletes, or superheroes. I wrote this book because I make the case that one of our favourite superheroes doesn’t either. In fact, he trains very much like a busy human being. If he can do it, we can do it. And just maybe, to the ones we care about most, be superheroes after all!

Physical altercations in the real world do not look like what we see on TV. Especially martial arts action movies. They also do not look like a sanctioned boxing or MMA event. Altercations in the real world have no rules and have no rounds. They are fast, violent, chaotic, and messy.

What is offered in the following pages is an approach to self-defense/combatives I would like to compare to CPR and First Aid. CPR saves lives! You can learn it in a day. First responders know it. Plenty of regular people know it, and it works! This book shares the principles and techniques that have stood the test of time and proven to be the most effective for ending a physical confrontation quickly. Helping you to get home, to your loved ones, safely.
