Army Special Forces veteran Larry Jordan was given a unique
assignment by his commanders - come up with a truly down-and-dirty
hand-to-hand fighting system for his fellow Green Berets and
U.S. Army Rangers. The goal of this system was to give soldiers
a handful of hard-core techniques that could be easily learned,
easily mastered and effectively applied in any close-combat
situation. Jordan devised a set of 12 techniques that were
surprisingly simple, shockingly fast and brutally effective.
He has now adapted this military system for civilian self-defense.
He calls it "The Dirty Dozen." The 12 self-defense
lessons in this book are specifically designed to provide
the average citizen with a series of easily learned techniques
that will enable him or her to prevail in any violent situation.
Besides the ever-present threat of violent crime, the recent
terrorist attacks aboard commercial airliners show that people
can no longer rely on "somebody else" to protect
them. Preparing to resist and defeat evildoers is everyone's
responsibility now. That's where The Dirty Dozen comes in.

This book is short, yet informative. The bare
essentials are covered here including your body's natural
weapons, vital targets of the attacker's body and practical
techniques applying this information. For those that already
have an understanding of self defence or a martial art this
book will not provide them with new advanced techniques. However
for those that don't have this already existing knowledge,
the dirty dozen provides simple but effective techniques to
use in a self defence situation.
On a critical note there could be more, clearer
and newer photographs showing how the techniques should be
applied.
