Primal Defense: Essential Skills for Adults Over 60: What Actually Works When Strength Is No Longer Your Asset, (Paperback)

Welcome to a new kind of strength.

This book is not about recapturing the past or chasing the impossible. It's about building a confident, capable future with the body and wisdom you have right now. If you're over sixty and have ever wondered if self-defense is still for you-if you can still learn to protect yourself effectively-let this be your clear and certain answer: Yes, you can.

Primal Defense: Essential Skills for Adults Over 60 is a martial arts guide designed for the realities of your life. We start from a fundamental truth: the most powerful weapon in any confrontation is not muscle, but mind. Your lifetime of experience, your ability to assess situations, and your understanding of what truly matters are unparalleled advantages. This book will teach you how to turn that wisdom into action.

Here, we leave behind the high kicks, complex grappling, and assumptions of a twenty-year-old athlete. Instead, we focus on smart, simple, and supremely effective techniques that respect your body's changing needs. We prioritize balance over flexibility, leverage over strength, and strategy over speed. The goal is not to win a fight, but to survive one.
