In self-defense situations involving assailants armed with extremely dangerous weapons or those situations which are unusual due to circumstances of one's physical location or because of the nature of the method the assailant or assailants are using, each situation involves and carries with it a degree of danger beyond normal attack circumstances. Accordingly, karate techniques must be learned thoroughly and executed as automatic responses to any series of happenings if serious injury or death is to be avoided.

Like its predecessors—Books One, Two, Three, and Four—this book is a categorized collection of self-defense situations and recommended karate responses. It is written for every male person and brings to him a chance to improve his personal self-defense abilities without engaging in the severe discipline and dedication to daily training required by classical karate. It is not an exhaustive survey of karate methods, but it contains methods that give direct consideration to easy learning for the average person. All methods described in this book are workable karate self-defense responses based on meeting single and multiple assailants. The responses are simplified, direct methods of self-defense. If you have already studied and practiced the necessary karate fundamentals found in Book One of this series, the situations in this volume will be easier to learn. Otherwise, after reading about the situations and responses herein you may find it necessary to turn to Book One, the fundamentals book, and find the necessary movements and practice exercises that are required to make these responses work effectively.
