About HANDS OFF! IN COLOUR. SELF-DEFENCE FOR WOMEN - Urban Protection Edition

The sixty photographs in this new edition have been digitally enhanced for a sharper clean rendition, and in addition to this using state-of-the-art colorising software all the wonderful photography that feature Fairbairn as the protagonist with his female assistant are in lifelike full colour. Originally published during the Second World War, Major Fairbairn''s "Hands Off!" shows the emancipated woman how to deal with any "unpleasant" situation which would immeasurably increase their efficiency in the War Effort. The methods of self-defence explained and illustrated were especially selected for use by women, taking into account their disadvantages of weight, build and strength. They are all practicable, and many were originally worked out in answer to the question ''what should I do if I were attacked like this''. Amongst the twenty measures advocated are: Wrist Hold - Being Strangled - How to Apply the "Chin Jab" - Bear Hug - Waist, Coat, Hair and Belt Holds - Umbrella Drill - Car "Hold Up" - "Give Me a Light". As valid today as it was when it was first published, the content of this self-defence manual will give a degree of confidence to the 21st century woman as she navigates the the urban landscape.
