After many seminars in Canada, Master Laquerre decided to include in a book the program on self defence to give to all people who have an interest on this subject; from beginners or practitioners with all ready some abilities, or those wish to just to add more material to their techniques. The goal in self defence is to avoid the confrontation by prevention, communication and mind preparation with on the base, simple and effective techniques. It is not necessary to wait for the physical attack to react. It is possible to react when we have a bad feeling in about a situation. But be careful before you react physically, just some words, body position, and self-confidence can change a situation to your advantage.
