This book is dedicated to my father. Hes my hero. And hes also a great American hero (inside joke). As a correctional officer in New Jersey, he was known as the Legend. His old coworkers still refer to him by that title today. Im blessed that hes still here to read this dedication and this book. As you might have guessed, the Legend was a tough man. Today hes an old man, but dont let his gray hair and glasses fool you. The old guy is still nobody to mess with.
Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is essentially your own.

CONTENTS
PREFACE
As I started writing this preface in advance of beginning this book, it was 8:20 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, June 16 th , 2018. Kathy, my spiritual and life partnerwho lived in the guesthouse out back on the property we lived on at the timehad come in the house for the first time that day about a half hour before. I had just watched an instructional martial arts video online, had decided to do something, and told Kathy about it.
I had decided to write down and practice my own martial arts/self-defense system/style just for my own use. As I explained to Kathy, it was going to be very direct, simple, practical, and effective. I told her there was not going to be a lot to itbut that what was there was going to count and was going to be able to address any reasonable situation I could imagine having to face.
Kathy got excited and told me I could write a book about it. I told her no, that was not part of it. The stuff I was going to write down was just for me. I told her I was going to get it all down on paper and organized so I could practice it on my own. It was just for me. But she wasnt convinced, and instructed me, really, to write a book about self-defense.
I told her no, she didnt understand. A book like that would have to have all kinds of pictures and everything. She said no, this book wouldnt need to have pictures. And she told me it was going to be a more spiritual book than I might assume. That got my attention because I had already thought that if I did ever write such a book Id put the spiritual and mind power elements of my personal self-defense philosophy and practice in it. You see, to me the spiritual part of the deal is at least as important as anything else and, practically speaking, it has the potential to actually be more effective than anything else I could write about.
Well, Ive learned that when Kathy believes shes on the right track and has apparently dug her heels in she is quite the force to be reckoned with. So I did the only thing I felt I could do under the circumstances: I agreed to write a book on self-defense. And I did write a book on self-defense. This book. But life doesnt always go as you think it will, and as of the time this book is being published I still have not sat down and selected, compiled, and documented the actual moves and techniques in an organized way as I had planned to do. But thats OK. This is not that kind of book, just as it is not a book containing photos or drawings.
