Women Self Defense - A list of Book Titles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Following is a list of book titles I know about addressing the subject
of Women Self Defense.
The idea to post this popped up during preparation of a similar list of
Wing Chun books.
I do not claim the list being complete.
If you know a title of a book not on the list (including author and publisher)
you think should be added, you are welcome to send me a mail.
If you find a mistake in the list, PLEASE send me a mail with the correct info.
If there is interest, I will keep it updated and post on a regular basis.
If you think this is a good (or bad) idea, feel free to tell me via mail
or post this article.
Rudolf.

* The Order of Appearance is NOT a valuation at all, nor does an appearance
itself mean that I recommend the specific title.
If anybody is interested into my opinion/recommendation - please email me,
although I consider the best recommendations come from WOMEN who have used
the books for their training/information.
+ A Plus sign means that the book only partially addresses Women Self Defense.
