Not Just Another Self-Defense Book (Streetproofing for Kids Series , Vol 1) - Softcover

Hugh Barrington Wilson has won the International Wushu Championship three years in a row. It's a full contact martial arts competition where the competitors can apply any style of fighting. Punching to the face is allowed as well as kicks to the shin. Strikes tothe chest are not restricted to certain areas marked off on a chest protector as in a standard karate tournament. In fact, a chest protector is optional. An opponent can also be taken down with a throw or a push. Kicks to the groin and eye gouging, however, are prohibited.

Besides being a competitor, Hugh is a martial arts instructor. He teaches at several community centres run by the City of Toronto's Parks and Recreation. His school is located in Mississauga at the Curtis Hibbert Kids Super Gym. He also teaches privately.

John William Yee teaches different styles of martial arts to kids at schools and community centres run by the City of Toronto's Park and Recreation. He also offers a self-defence program to the police service and to different organizations like the Girl Guides and Brownies.

He still competes and came 2nd in sparring at the Canadian Open Kung Fu Championship in 1995 and 1996. He never gives his student or his readers something which he has not tested himself.

"An invaluable book for the parents as well." -- Curtis Hibbert, two-time World Champion
