Any person of average physical ability can resist an attack by a hooligan or even an armed bandit. But do not consider it shameful for yourself to avoid a collision if possible. After all, even the leading masters of world-famous karate schools advise students that it is better to run away than to allow yourself to be drawn into a fight. If you still fail to escape or avoid a collision, knowledge of some simple techniques from the arsenal of the ancient Japanese art of fighting will come to your aid in such a situation. The author, based on his personal experience and based on materials from Soviet and foreign publications, has created a kind of minimum complex for those who want to stand up for themselves. For a wide range of readers.
