5 страница из 12

This book, like its predecessors, is a categorized collection of self-defense situations and recommended karate responses which will better prepare you for emergencies should defense of your property, virtue, or your life become necessary. Karate responses for women can be precisely these applied by the male sex, but, more often than not, modifications are required to ensure the success of the defense. The fundamentals described in Book One of this series hold true and should be practiced, but basic physiological differences in your female body and the lack of the ability to generate sufficient functional strength required for some of these male responses should be borne in mind. Further, limitations on movement imposed by female wearing apparel (high heels, tight skirts) cancel out much useful karate technique, and it must be modified accordingly.

It is not necessary to wait until you have practiced all the fundamentals of Book One before going on to the self-defense situations in this book. You may, with a minimum of practice of the fundamentals required for these situations of your choice, practice the situations and responses until you have an efficient working knowledge. Use Book One as a reference as you go step-by-step through the various situations in this book.
