FREE E-BOOKS FROM SDKSUPPLIES.COM

Much as I'd love to offer these ebooks for sale, they would likely not be big sellers. I spent several years researching each book, and I believe they have a contribution to make so they are here for your use. If you figure they are worth something to you, recruit a new student to your club, try a class yourself, organize a self defence session or buy something from this catalogue.

There's always a way to pay it back.

A Student's Guide to Self-Defence: A Discussion of Practical Self Protection

This book is the manual for the University of Guelph "Gryphon Claws" women's self defence course taught since 1987 by Kim Taylor. The book was written in 1992 and contains material relevent to courses dealing with self defence and sexual assault of University age adults. This is an excerpt from the hard copy of "A Student's Guide to Self-Defence: A Discussion of Practical Self Protection" above. E-pub format

This free ebook was produced because I thought the hard copy self defence book had just not sold since 1994, turns out it wasn't listed on the website! So... if you want to buy the much more handy hard copy book, for instance, if you wish to teach the course, it's above. I'm also available for seminars.

In the meantime, click this link to get the free copy.

Patterns of Thought

PDF version

This book of photography and poetry from Kim Taylor, has nothing at all to do with the martial arts or self defense. It contains some of Kim's fine art nude photography (nothing graphic) so don't download it if you're looking for yet another way to smack someone with a stick. The book is here because I told some folks it would be here. By the way, it's a big book, byte-wise because of the photos so be patient with your kobo as it loads. E-pub format

Patterns of Thought.zip

I know you guys can rip and burn the DVDs, copy the videotapes and photocopy the manuals, and in the interests of spreading the art, maintaining my sanity and simple time constraints, I'm likely not going to come after you if you do, but hey, we don't really charge all that much for what you get and those payments help produce more instructional material. If you want to share these materials around why not just drop us a line and ask us about bulk discounts.

And please remember, you don't own copyright on this stuff so for the good of your own karma don't go copying and selling it. It's a small community and we do hear back from people.
