"For the person who has already mastered the fundamentals, the present volume, profuse with diagrams and photographs, will serve as a handy guide to expanding [the options]." — Yomiuri Shimbun

Practical Karate: Defense Against Multiple Assailants is the third volume in the classic six-volume series by Masatoshi Nakayama and Donn Draeger.

Mastery of the responses in this martial arts guide will not make the reader invincible in personal encounters, but will provide a ready repertoire of techniques to deal with a wide variety of attacks by multiple assailants.
