While I excerpted short portions of the work for national magazines like TaeKwondo Times (May 2020 issue)and Blackbelt (Nov-Dec 2019 issue), I have decided to present the book as a serial on this website, offering a chapter periodically, and responding to comments from readers as we proceed. Through the eyes of a man who lived it, I take the reader through a six-decade journey that looks at the history of the martial arts in the United States as it evolved in the 1950’s and 60’s, grew into maturity during the 1970’s and 80’s, and burst forth into the 21 st century. It has been a labor of self-reflection and a painfully honest evaluation of the many lessons I’ve learned while training in the martial arts over the years. I’ve been developing and writing Seeking an Indomitable Spirit for the past six years. The Danger From Strangers: Brewer, James D.: 9780306446429: : Books Seeking an Indomitable Spirit: Life Lessons Learned from My 50-year Sojourn in the Martial Arts by James D. My book is not a primer on elbow strikes, or punches, throws, and kicks, but a guide to recognizing high threat situations and keeping oneself out of the situations in the first place.Īlthough the book has been out of print for more than two decades, copies are still available from the source listed below.

So, I wrote The Danger from Strangers after doing detailed research in the Bureau of Justice Statistics and conducting personal interviews of both criminals and victims. Brewerīack in 1995, I decided that it was time for a book to help people avoid assault, not just how to execute techniques once you find yourself the victim of an assault. You can find a link to my most recent Blackbelt Magazine (Nov/Dec 2020 issue) below. I’ve written on the subject of self-defense and martial arts for the thirty years in magazines like Blackbelt, Inside Kung Fu, and Taekwondo Times, and I remain thirsty for knowledge and new experiences.
