This is the theme of Fighter's Fact Book 2: Street Fighting Essentials and when you've mastered the skills taught in the book, you will truly be ready to defend yourself in some of the most desperate situations imaginable. Nearly a dozen veteran instructors of street oriented martial arts have come together with Loren Christensen to teach you how to defend yourself against multiple attackers, violent dogs, knives, close quarter attacks, and attackers impervious to pain. Then they show you how to make your street techniques fast and explosive, and how to prepare yourself mentally to use extreme force. The skills taught here are not for the faint hearted. These are hardcore techniques intended to save your life or the life of a loved one. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - It's okayI didn't think this book was all that great, but it's got a few useful ideas. Rating:  - Absolutely Fantastic +++This is bar none one of the best books out there for practical considerations related to fighting, if not THE best that has been produced so far.

Unfortunately, this causes a lot of superficiality, since the chapters onyl give an overview on the matter their speak about. The chapters have interesting subjects, like grappling, un-fighting, defens against dogs, etc...., but they are much ...

This book is a compilation of the views of not only the author, but numerous other contributing authors whom are as follows: Lt. Col. Dave Grossman Iain Abernethy Rory A. Miller Lawrence Kane Kris Wilder Alain Burrese Richard Dimitri Wim Demeere Mark ...

I highly recommend this book to anyone in martial arts. |
