Self Defense Resources

I’ve decided to bring my list of self-defense resources from my printed materials to an online format, allowing me to maintain an updated list of books, websites, YouTube channels, and products I consider helpful.

Additional content and resources will be available over time, this is just the initial phase of collecting useful things and getting them out to the community.

Please let me know if you find links are broken or if you have any other feedback about resources on this page.

Some of the resources below may be affiliate links. This means that, at no additional cost to you, I may receive a small commission from the seller when you purchase through my link.
