from cover
How to maintain the dignity and authority of an Officer of the Law, without resorting to needless violence-this is the object and purpose of Bruce Tegner's instruction.
Law officers will find this book ideal for the many difficult situations whih could properly be controlled withouts the
How to handle resistance wihout brutality; how to handle juveniles, women, drugged or insane persons with least danger of injury to subject and highest degeree of control; how to protect himself without the necessity of spending years in trainining-these are things which will be found in this superb book.
Bruce Tegner has no equal in this country today in the field of teaching the un-armed Arts for self-defense.
His entire life has been spent learning, teaching and researching the Oriental and European methods of hand and foot fighting. Both his parents were professional Judo instructors who started his serious training when he was two years old! Bruce Tegner was an accomplished instructor at an age when most youngsters are only yearning to learn the famed and mysterius Judo, Karate, Aikido and other related Arts.
Breaking through the cult of secrecy and mystical mumbo-jumbo, Bruce Tegner has extracted from Judo and Karate the practical, easy to learn, effective techniques and presented them in a way which is understandable to modern Americans. This is his unique contribution to the popularization of the arts in this country. It is the reason why the name of Bruce Tegner has become synonymous with Judo-Karate self-defense in the few years since his first book on Karate was published and became a bestseller.
