Great Book for Personal SafetyNov 21, 2008
Thorough and well organized, See Sally... gives women the tools they need (attitude, awareness, avoidance, and action) to protect and defend their physical safety. Instruction also includes over 100 pictures demonstrating self-defense during a physical attack.
I especially like the section aimed at campus environments and the explanations of common date-rape drugs. A copy of this book should be sent with every girl/ woman departing to college. Five Stars.

 Great Information!Aug 04, 2008
I purchased this book for research purposes on a new Women's Self Defense Course I am developing. I am an instructor at a martial arts school. This is an invaluable book. All girls, teenagers, college students, mothers and any other woman should read this book. It is very comprehensive. My only complaint is that the author relied heavily on Aikido techniques, which seemed a bit complicated for the beginner. Self defense techniques should be easy to remember and easy to perform. I will not be using many of his grab escapes in my program. Besides that, it was easy to read and well organized.

A current, direct, useful guide to self-protection written with women in mindApr 10, 2008
What a useful book! As a retired college admissions director, I would recommend this book without any reservation. It is a must read for female college students and although the author lovingly dedicates the book to the women in his life (his wife and three daughters), there is such a breadth of information that anyone will benefit from this read.
What makes this book stellar: 1) the author is highly credible with two black belts in both tae kwon do and aikido. He is personally committed through his roles as husband and father, 2) the book is easy to read and understand - not always the case with self-protection books that show pictures of contortionists that attempt to explain how you, the average person, can also perform these feats in three easy steps, 3) the books covers the critical elements of Attitude, Avoidance, Awareness and Action (Mr. Vogt's 4 As) but also expands to touch on current issues including identity theft and international travel and finally, 4) the book is concise, clear and easy to read in 165 pages. It makes a great gift for the college-bound set, for the daughter moving away from home for the first time and, really, for anyone who needs to increase their awareness of their circumstances in these times.

things I never thought of beforeMar 25, 2008
I bought this as a gift for my sister, she escaped a near assault last year. I read most of the book before giving it to her . I really liked some of the common sense things women (and men) should look out for and be aware of their surroundings. For example it says that if a car is parked next to yours, and a person is sitting in the passenger seat - don't get in your driver side, slide in from the passenger side. This is so they can't grab you. After reading that I remembered 2 kidnapping cases that I have read about in the last year where this is exactly what happened.
Recommend for any woman or teenage girl.
