HONOR BLACKMAN'S BOOK OF SELF-DEFENSE by Honor Blackman

HONOR BLACKMAN'S BOOK OF SELF-DEFENSE

By

Publisher: Macmillan

It all started with a British TV series in which the honorable Miss Blackman played ""a sort of female James Bond with a touch of Pearl White."" And here she is in 132 photographs (not seen here) to show you the ""art of conquering by yielding."" The positions are basic and varied--if your ""Side Kick to the Solar Plexus"" doesn't work you can always try an ""Unge Punch to the Throat"" or that failing, a ""Jaw Lock Interior Leg Throw."" In spite of the simple instructions, the best accompaniment would be a trip to the local Judo parlor. Where else could you find a willing partner?
