Shorter individuals are most likely to be easy targets. This is what Lawrence Castanon, the author of the best-selling Amazon self-defense book, “The Short Fight,” https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0948LNX5M has learned as a short kid growing up in some roughest neighborhoods in the United States. Because of his unpleasant experiences, he promised himself that he would study self-defense and share his knowledge with others, so no one else will experience what he had as a kid. Years later, Lawrence went on and did what he promised himself as a kid.
His book, titled “The Short Fight,” is a self-defense book created for shorter individuals who have trouble defending themselves against taller and stronger assailants. “The Short Fight” is designed to teach the essential self-defense techniques and the exercises that can physically prepare anyone to defend themselves successfully.
Lawrence believes that self-defense is not a one-size-fits-all. He knows that height and size matter. At 5 feet 2 inches, Lawrence stands shorter than the average American and knows too well that the techniques that work for taller people will not be as effective for the shorter ones like him. So, in his book, he shares training for effectively defending oneself during an attack. The book mentions the most efficient strikes that a shorter person can do in defense and the most effective clinching tactics to stop an attacker from hitting. There are also crucial blocks and defensive moves that one can do to avoid getting hit and critical techniques and tactics to use to avoid getting grabbed by a strong assailant. In addition to the techniques, Lawrence also shares a complete fitness program to help people become physically fit to defend themselves effectively.
With this book, Lawrence aims to help boost self-confidence among individuals who are likely to be targeted. “There is always someone out there bigger or stronger than you,” Lawrence said. “I want to share my tactics with everyone who has been assaulted or victimized by a bigger or stronger person. I want them to have the confidence and ability to stand up to the bigger or stronger person, whether it is on the street or in the office,” he shared.
Lawrence spent over 40 years practicing martial arts training focusing on self-defense, and has been teaching it for more than 30 years. He holds a 5th-degree black belt in Karate, 2nd-degree black belt in Close Combat Martial Arts, a certified Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu self-defense instructor, a Krav Maga self-defense instructor, a USA wrestling coach, and a National Academy of Sports Medicine – certified personal fitness trainer. Lawrence hopes to encourage smaller, weaker individuals to stand up against those who pick on them and be confident about themselves and what they can do.
In addition to the book, Lawrence also offers a free library of self-defense and fitness videos accessible through his website www.theshortfight.com. He also shares training and tactics for free on its Facebook page.
