The Great Escapes This initial chapter concentrates on the very basic need for self-defense against unwanted contact. Unwanted contact can mean anything from a simple wrist grab to a kick, a headlock or some sort of choke. It can be in any situation or position: surprise attack, direct confrontation, on the ground, or standing. In this chapter, I teach 30 simple, highly effective techniques that not only provide one with an opportunity for escape, but also serve  as the foundation on which further self-defense development is built. Some examples of unwanted contact addressed in this chapter are: grabs, chokes, bear hugs, headlocks, kicks, ground attacks, and tackles.
