Book Description

Dominick DiVito has been teaching self-defense for over twenty-five years to celebrities, law enforcement officers, and average citizens. In this new approach to self-defense, he won't expect you to master complex martial arts, nor will he leave you relying on a gun to protect yourself. What he will do is prepare you mentally and physically so you can successfully deter an attack, whether you are victimized without warning in your home, in your car, or in a public place.

In Fight Back you'll learn:

  • The common myths of self-defense
  • What criminals look for in a victim
  • How to recognize and take advantage of an attacker's weaknesses
  • What everyday objects you can use to defend yourself
  • The three key target points on the human body that can quickly disable any assailant (and the one you're thinking of isn't among them).

Through common attack scenarios, you will learn warning signals and the real-life applications of these simple and effective self-defense techniques.

Becoming trained and prepared is easier than you think. By learning these basic techniques and believing in yourself, you can defend yourself and your loved ones from the devastating psychological and physical consequences of a personal attack. The new confidence you'll have in your everyday life is just one of the many rewards you'll gain when you learn how to Fight Back.
