Ogun - the Spirit of Iron, War and Technology - is often seen as a violent warrior, fully armed with weapons and charms, and ready for battle. While the Force of Nature we call Ogun is certainly that, he is also the protector and healer of his family and community. Many of the world's best martial arts, self-defense and combat systems master physical technique, but in order to call yourself an Omo Ogun - one of Ogun's children; a warrior of the highest caliber - all of these aspects of safety and security must be mastered: combative strategy, psychology, anatomy and physiology. Only a rare few master their warriorhood to an elite level of proficiency. The art and science contained within this book will help you achieve this elite level. OGUN YE PROTECTING THE AFRIKAN FAMILY AND COMMUNITY combines valuable lessons with dozens of illustrations that will teach you to keep you, your family, your co-workers, comrades and community from falling victim to bullying, gun violence, sexual assault, Human Trafficking and other attacks. Ogun Ye Protecting the Afrikan Family and Community addresses every phase of your life in which you might encounter violence and provides strategic solutions to that violence so you and those you love can survive and thrive in today's harsh world.
