Writing Violence IV: Defense

"HA! I win! I shot you five times. You only stabbed me four!"

That probably isn't a plot device you want to use. At least if you want your character around for the sequel.

"Writing Violence IV: Defense" addresses what your character needs to be doing to not go to the Great Editor in the Sky. While certain elements remain consistent, defense manifests differently when your character is under attack from fists, knives, clubs, pistols and rifles. It shows you aspects of defense even most self-defense 'experts' don't understand because they haven't been jumped by multiple attackers, been attacked with knives or shot at. The information in this book is predicated on decades of experience with violence. It also shows the writer the horrors of a failing defense. (For example how a single blow crashing through a weak block can turn into six different impacts -- each worse than the one before.) For those writing about professional and experienced characters, this book goes into the awareness and knowledge they use to stay alive against opponents as skilled and dangerous as they are. This includes how they blend a single action to be both defensive and offensive to stay off the coroner's slab.

Can you as a writer use this information to write more gripping action scenes? You betcha.

For non-writers this book covers issues that aren't commonly taught. Issues and strategies will keep you alive and unharmed when the violence isn't a just simulation in the training hall
