You can find Leigh's book "UK Self Defence Law: A practical guide to understand the law on defending yourself" on Amazon or directly here http://www.leighsimms.com/ #SelfDefence #LegalOpinion #Karateka #JKD #MartialArts #UKSelfDefenceLaw Mick's Martial Arts is a Paint Your Headphones production and is recorded on an Apogee condenser microphone onto an iPhone 6.
