Streetwise by Peter Consterdine is the most comprehensive manual covering all aspects of Personal Security and Self Defence. Streetwise combines the detailed concepts and procedures from the world of Executive Protection, with the very best of physical self defence.

Streetwise is a book for instructors, students, police officers and anyone interested in the vast subject matter. The book has been broken down into two parts. Part one deals with the very detailed subject of personal security and studies the complex psychology and procedures for awareness training. Importantly, this section looks at the perceptions of crime and all practical procedures to be adopted, in the street, in the home, the vehicle and at work.

Part two deals with the physical aspects of confrontation. From ‘conflict resolution’ through to striking and kicking combinations, this section leaves no stone unturned in the search for the correct approach to street survival and exposing the myth of thinking that traditional systems can be made to work as an answer to real violence.

As a consultant police instructor, Peter is well aware of the difficulties police officers face when tackling violence in today’s society. As well as teaching at National Police college, Peter also teaches his unique ‘Powerstrike’ courses to many other police forces.
