I purchased this book for research purposes on a new Women’s Self Defense Course I am developing. I am an instructor at a martial arts school. This is an invaluable book. All girls, teenagers, college students, mothers and any other woman should read this book. It is very comprehensive. My only complaint is that the author relied heavily on Aikido techniques, which seemed a bit complicated for the beginner. Self defense techniques should be easy to remember and easy to perform. I will not be using many of his grab escapes in my program. Besides that, it was easy to read and well organized.
I picked this book up because of the fun title. After reading it, I thought it was very good and full of simple learnings. While I’m not the most athletic type of person, I thought this had good defensive moves that even I could do. I have told others about it and would reco it.
Thorough and well organized, See Sally… gives women the tools they need (attitude, awareness, avoidance, and action) to protect and defend their physical safety. Instruction also includes over 100 pictures demonstrating self-defense during a physical attack.
I especially like the section aimed at campus environments and the explanations of common date-rape drugs. A copy of this book should be sent with every girl/ woman departing to college. Five Stars.
I bought this as a gift for my sister, she escaped a near assault last year. I read most of the book before giving it to her . I really liked some of the common sense things women (and men) should look out for and be aware of their surroundings. For example it says that if a car is parked next to yours, and a person is sitting in the passenger seat – don’t get in your driver side, slide in from the passenger side. This is so they can’t grab you. After reading that I remembered 2 kidnapping cases that I have read about in the last year where this is exactly what happened.
Recommend for any woman or teenage girl.
Fred Vogt has written an excellent book on women’s personal safety. Every woman will benefit from this easily read book. It is a very comprehensive book covering the many aspects of women’s lives with numerous safety tips that can be easily incorporated into your daily life. While the book focuses primarily on prevention, there is a chapter on physical self-defense techniques which are illustrated with detailed pictures to simplify the learning process. I highly recommend this book. Buy one for yourself or your loved ones!
