    Default Donald Walker - Pioneer of American Self-Defense

    I found this page quite interesting and revealing.

    http://ahfaa.org/bruteforce.htm

    This book was written by Donald Walker in 1840. Looking at the illustrations where one can see some basic blocks, Throws and Joint locks or even a lesson of learning how to fall.

    What makes this interesting to me is the fact that could Mr. Walker been the first instructor to teach self defense here in the US ?

    Your thoughts ?
