The main emphasis is placed on developing the ability to enter the proper mental state and on using not only your body, but also various objects at hand as a weapon. In terms of its information content, the book has no equal in either domestic or foreign literature. It is designed for the broadest segments of the population forced to live in conditions of criminal lawlessness. All recommendations contained in the book have been repeatedly tested in practice.
