The T.A.E. complete package contains photos, graphs and 13 videos that provide a definite answer to many 'unanswered' questions related to real-life self defense (questions such as "What if the attacker is stronger and faster then me? "What if he is trained?" etc.) One of the essential points people usually forget is this: Muscles can be trained for power, strength and endurance, but no one can trained the muscles in 'pressure point pain resistance'! It's as simple as that. These simple yet incredibly powerful methods are based on ancient Chinese arts that deal with pressure point manipulation and striking. This book deals with the basics of quickly detecting these points on the body of the attacker, and how to successfully apply pressure (pinching, rubbing, or pushing) for instant elimination of the attacker's intentions. Like using a stun gun T.A.E methods create very strong, painful sensations in the body of the aggressor, offering the essential self-defense elements of shock and surprise. T.A.E. methods are meant for real fight situations, not for friendly sparring or organized sports, because of the danger of inflicting extreme pain. (though NOT meant for use in combat sports, many expert fighters - especially MMA - successfully "slip in" here in there some of these methods between the rules.) All students are therefore requested to practice with extreme caution. Total beginners will benefit from this book because it will teach you the basics of self-defense that are very often overlooked. T.A.E. can be combined well with learning traditional self-defense methods. Martial arts and even experienced self-defense practitioners can benefit from taking a look at unexplained areas in modern martial arts. Each and every method explained in this book can be easily combined with strikes, kicks, controls or any other kinds of techniques that you already use.
