Avoiding and Surviving a Knife Attack

Steve Collins R.E.A.C.T. Self Defense Library #2

by Steve Collins

Steve Collins second book in the REACT series takes a realistic look at the options that any normal untrained citizen has when faced with the horrific reality of a knife attack. Steve Collins’ work takes him all over the world, and by its very nature it exposes him to the causes and aftermath of horrendous weapon related violence and terrorism. The horrifying reality of a knife attack is something we cannot afford to ignore. Steve Collins says apathy and denial steals people’s lives, and he makes no apologies for some of the language and graphic images used in this book. Steve believes that knife attacks are as real and as deadly as cancer and,sadly, reaching epidemic proportions. Knife attacks are such an unpleasant subject that most of us don’t even want to think about it. However, the fact is, we are given no choice but to think about it. Knife crime affects each and every one of us. We are all touched by it. Even if you’ve never been attacked, even if you don’t know someone who’s been attacked, and even if there’s never been a knife attack in your town, you are still indirectly a victim of knife crime. Every week, if not every day, we are bombarded with media coverage of yet another stabbing, another bloody murder, another innocent citizen robbed or raped at knife point, another kid having the life snatched out of them on the way home from school. So, like it or not, we are all victims of weapons related crime and especially knives. The book also features the ‘REACT Ten Commandments’ - these are rules that Steve believes to be crucial survival components of anyone’s arsenal, if faced with an attack or potential attack from an edged weapon.
