 - Buy This Book!If you are a fight fan, know a fight fan, or have any plans of being a fight fan, buy this book! It has a lot of great stories and info about his experiences, and the author is obviously very knowledgeable and intimately involved in the fight game. The farther I read into the book, the more I kept saying to myself "I would LOVE to have a beer with this guy and just pick his brain". After reading the book, I did a bit of research on the author. Check out Eugene's weekly radio show at www.combatmusicradio.com and click on his show Knuckle Up. Rating: - The Truth Hurts...This book stands alone. There have been many books written about fighting and I have read close to 20 of them. This book is the only book that covers all aspects of hand to hand combat. From mixed martial artists, boxers, street fighters, special forces, to greco roman wrestlers and prison survivers. This is not only history and perspective but also how to, hands on information. This book makes other books look like bitches. Rating: - If you don't buy this book you just might get [...] for not asking.It dosen't matter if your a pacifist or dislike violence. You could be a nun, a soccer mom, or a back-up singer for John Denver and still find lots of USEFUL knowlege in this read. Useful knowledge that is improtant, the way breathing is improtant. Or the ABILITY to walk away from a fight with your teeth still in your head if you choose to do so. It's always a good idea to fill your head with as much survival knowledge that you can get your hands on, because...you never know. Be prepared, thats' all. Why not? What if someone were to attack an elderly person right in front of you? If you had your head right you might be able to circumvent that situation. Wouldn't you like to walk down the street with your mate knowing you could hanlde just about anything that could rear it's head at you(minus guns, drive bys, etc). Robinson gives plenty of reference points for you to sink your teeth into as well. Myself not knowing very much of the pro. and extreme fight world can now at least have a conversation about them after reading this. There's one or two "controvercial" chapters dealing with knives and someone loosing it and accidently killing another man. These are presented as case studies,as warnings of what could happen if your not thinking, not glorified. Very professional throughout. Best book of the year. Oh yeah, if you like the book you'll also want to give [...] a vist. The site has daily music and reporting webcasts from multiple hosts, including this books author Mr. Robinson. Knukle Up!!! Rating: - I bought it and so should youReading this book one senses the writer probably has an endless cache of personal fight stories he chose not to include here, but the ones he does include are totally engrossing. Not being a fighter myself, nor in the least bit familiar with fighting as a sport, this was the perfect first book to read on the subject. After reading it I bought another copy for a friend and the Audio book for myself. Rating:  - ouch !Here's a man that has too much time in his life. Good book and good advice. He is definitly full of himself. ( I hope I never have to fight him though!!!) Well worth the money.
