Within the Guardian Angels alliance worldwide, Charl Viljoen has developed significant credibility as the author and producer of "The Street Survival Guide". Yes, it is what it sounds like: a comprehensive manual of how to survive in hostile street crimescapes. It includes one of the best pragmatic hand-to-hand combat instruction guides that I have ever seen -- in my opinion it is right up there with W E Fairbairn's classic WW-II commando training manual "Defendu" (also known as "Get Tough!") Charl is also to be credited with patrolling what has got to be the most dangerous Guardian Angels patrol in the world: the streets of Cape Town dwarf nearly anything imaginable in most other places on this planet in terms of violent crime. It is likely only exceeded by Johannesburg -- which will, in due course, also be Charl's beat. It is often said that you should not spend any significant amount of time with anybody whom you would not want to die beside. Charl "Morpheus" Viljoen would be on my short-list, for sure.
