Why Most Self-Defense Training Falls Short

Almost all self-defense advice starts with technique.
Punches. Restraints. Escapes.
But real-world violence rarely begins there.
It starts with positioning, boundary testing, and decision-making under stress.
The Timeline of Self-Defense gives you a complete strategy instead of isolated skills.

A Clear Framework for Real-World Protection

Before 

Avoidance. Awareness. Recognition

During

Decision-making under pressure. 
Defensive Tactics

After

Legal, emotional, and practical recovery. 

What You'll Learn

• Detect problems earlier
• De-escalate aggressive encounters

• Respond when avoidance fails
• Handle the aftermath responsibly

 This Book Is For You If...

• You care about protecting yourself or your family.
• You train martial arts but want real-world context.
• You're overwhelmed by conflicting self-defense advice.
• You want clarity instead of hype.

Why Listen to Randy King?

I've taught self-defense and personal protection for over 25 years.

I kept seeing the same gap: People had skills, but no structure.

I've Facilitated training in 80+ cities across 14 nations.
