{"product_id":"9781594391293","title":"The Little Black Book Violence : What Every Young Man Needs to Know About Fighting by Kris Wilder","description":"The Little Black Book of Violence will arm you with the knowledge and good  sense to make informed choices in hazardous situations. While some yahoo  spewing insults about your favorite sports team is worlds apart from a  drug-crazed lunatic lunging at you with a sharp knife in his hands and  bloodlust in his eyes, there is a large gray area in between these two  extremes where hard and fast rules do not always apply. This is where  wisdom, oftentimes hard-earned wisdom, makes the difference between good  decisions and bad ones.     Every time you engage in violence, no matter how small or trivial it  may appear to be at the time, it has the potential of escalating into  something extraordinarily serious. What is really worth fighting for  when you might find yourself spending the rest of your life behind bars,  confined to a wheelchair, or trying to dig yourself out of bankruptcy  from beneath the crushing weight of a civil lawsuit? It is important to  ask yourself, \"Is this really worth fighting over?\" While in some  instances the response could legitimately be \"Yes,\" more often than not  it ought to be \"No.\"  More than mere techniques, this book fills in crucial information  about street survival that most martial arts instructors don't teach or  even know. You will learn how to use awareness, avoidance, and  de-escalation to help stave off violence. Despite the best intentions,  however, you may still find yourself in situations where you have no  choice but to fight and others where it is prudent to do so.  Consequently you will also learn smart things you might want to try and  dumb things you should attempt to avoid during a physical confrontation.     In addition to learning strategies and techniques for defending  yourself on the street you will also learn how to manage the aftermath  of violence, including performing first aid, interacting with law  enforcement, managing witnesses, finding a good attorney, navigating the  legal system, dealing with the press, and overcoming psychological  trauma.   Men, who commit about 80 percent of all violent crimes, are twice as  likely to become victims of aggressive behavior as women. While written  primarily for this at-risk demographic, this comprehensive tome is  essential reading for anyone who regularly deals with violence, thinks  they may encounter a hostile situation, or who simply wants to increase  their ability to survive a dangerous encounter.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312642830709,"sku":"9781594391293","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781594391293.jpg?v=1762823100","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781594391293","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
