Man Protect is a modern guide to surviving violence, avoiding danger, and becoming the kind of man predators don’t target. Written by former British special forces commando and professional bare-knuckle fighter Sonny Smith, this book combines close-protection drills, anti-surveillance tradecraft, primal psychology, and firsthand experience of violence into a clear system that anyone can learn. The threats out there are vast, but the tools for detecting and defending against them stay the same. Inside, you’ll discover: The four pillars of protection: Detect, Deter, Evade, and Engage. - How the predator's mind works, delving into how they hunt, profile victims, and behave before the attack. - The Enhanced Situational Awareness System, the ESAS. - How to read environments, atmospheres, and anomalies. - Anti-surveillance methods used by intelligence agencies. - The truth about self-defence: what works in the real world, and what gets men hurt. - Knife, bare-knuckle, and close-quarters principles based on real violence, not fantasy. - How to protect your family in public, at home, in unfamiliar environments and during those dreaded worst-case scenarios. - The mindset shift that turns ordinary men into primal protectors. A man's duty does not end at his garden fence; we have a larger obligation to fulfil. Real operators don't leave any stone unturned. Man Protect prepares you for every possibility with additional training on land protection and national security. Whether you’re a father, a boyfriend, a brother or a son, Man Protect will give you the tools, clarity, and confidence to walk through the world capable, prepared, and unafraid of what could be on the horizon. These are the man skills you will need to get you out of your darkest hour. God forbid.
