Looking for self defense book recommendations for the basics. Had a few when I was young and would love to get a few for my sons.

Actually had one on Ninjitsu that was actually pretty interesting. More like the Boy Scouts handbook of basic history and training . Was really good but no idea who wrote it.

TIA.

Anything from Rory Miller will be an awesome resource for armed/unarmed citizens.

Left of Bang is an excellent book as welll.

Just picked this up from Goodwill.  Lest than a buck, looks to never have been read.
