![]() | Starting with the author's wrenching account of being raped despite her years of martial arts training, Women's Street Combat from Paladin Press takes you far beyond the typical women's self-defense program to give you the real stuff: principles and tactics designed specifically to defeat a determined sexual predator.
Lifetime martial artist and assault survivor Kimber Johnson knows from brutal personal experience what will and won't work against a rapist, and teaches you a series of street-realistic techniques based on what real sexual predators do to make women victims, not fantasy-based martial arts with no basis in reality. This includes defenses against hair-pulling, choking and being pinned, three of the most common attacks women must deal with in a life-or-death struggle; how to go to the ground on your terms, not your attacker's, if you're suddenly shoved from any direction; scenario-based training designed to teach you how to deal with situations ranging from dealing with a drunk at a club to recognizing the precursors of a true assault; and more. A rape attempt is one of the most horrific assaults a woman can experience; Women's Street Combat will teach you how to prevail if you are unlucky enough to be targeted by a predator.

She is a World Champion Forms/Fighting and AAU Champion with a 17 and 0 amateur boxing record, and holds a third-degree black belt in tae kwon do and a first-degree black belt in kung fu.
