Violence starts in the mind. So does survival.
Most people think self-protection is about fighting. It isn't. By the time hands are involved, you've already missed three or four chances to walk away.
Hard Target: The Art of Psychological Self Protection teaches the part nobody covers. How to read a situation before it turns. How to spot the behaviour that comes before the attack. How to think like a protector instead of a target.
Written for women, men, teenagers, frontline staff and lone workers.
I spent over fifteen years working the door, in casino surveillance and in mental health settings. I've also patrolled the Bronx subway with the Guardian Angels. Everything in this book comes from that work, not theory.
Level 3 Trainer in Conflict Management, Physical Intervention and First Aid. CPD trained in Personal Safety, Situational Awareness and Knife and Edged Weapon Awareness. I've trained hundreds of people to handle real conflict.
Your family's safety begins in your mind. Awareness, intuition and mindset are what separate a victim from a survivor.
