The South African woman's guide to self-defence

Author: Sanette Smit

The combination of an increasing crime rate and staggering rape statistics (over one million every year) has clearly defined the need for a book that not only empowers and encourages women to acknowledge their capabilities, but shows them how to defend themselves. The South African woman's guide to self-defence is such a book, teaching you how to identify opportunities and implement easy yet effective self-defence techniques.

Aimed at every woman in South Africa, regardless of fitness level, age or physical appearance, the authoritative text, step-by-step instructions and 250 colour photographs clearly demonstrate the various techniques and make learning self-defence easy.

Author Sanette Smit, 7th Dan Black Belt in karate, chose 'rape' as her subject for the thesis she had to submit as a component for obtaining her 3rd Dan. The statistics were so harrowing that they motivated the creation of a comprehensive and unique rape prevention and self-defence programme, which she runs regularly. Sanette has won numerous awards, including the prestigious Karate Coach of the Year Award by the Karate Association of South Africa, and Shoprite-Checkers/SABC3 Woman of the Year (Sports Category).
