 this book is a waste, mistitled July 9, 2001
15 out of 26 found this review helpful
I don't how anyone could come to the conclusion that this book even begins to fit its title. Out of the 365 figures showing the various "techniques to fight a grappler and win" only about 10 of them are even on the ground! The rest are mostly somebody standing up at arms distance apart! If anyone thinking of buying this book thinks that you will learn attacks on fingers, face, ect... from being on the ground, think again, this book is worthless as soon as the fighting turns to ... grappling. Save your money and buy something more informative from positions other than facing your opponent directly 3 feet apart.
 Dim Mak is real and it can save your life in a grapple May 13, 2000

Contrary to the publisher's statement, the Ultimate fighting Championships are *NOT* "no-holds barred". Practioners of San Soo and Dim Mak are restricted or entirely banned. Just ask UFC for a participant rules list. Practioners of these systems are taught to protect themselves at any cost. An attacker may try to punch your lights out and catch your eye with the tip of his/her index finger and blind you for life. He/she may slam your head against the pavement and give you brain damage or kill you. You just can't asume the attacker's character! If you get grappled in the real world, Dim Mak may be your best defense against serious injury or death. This book, and others by Montaigue, will help you get the grappler the heck off you.
the downfalls of grappling revealed April 26, 2000

All the negative reviews of this book apear to be written by grapplers. People who have spent years of their life learning to wrestle an opponent to the ground and either brake an arm or choke them out. It's understandable that they would'nt think highly of a book that shows the weakness of their style(for example grappling is only good against one opponent any two untrained bumkins can take out a grappler, one can wrestle with him on the ground and the other can stick a knife in his ribs). DIM-MAK IS AN EXCELENT WEAPON against any style. This book just happens to show you how its used against grapplers.

Hey Guys, I have not read this book, but I see there are a arugement going on. Grappling is one of the basic of fighting along with blows. UFC is not a playground, the rule are set to keep UFC ALIVE! I would study this art and see what i can do if it comes in handy. If it doesnt come in handy i will. TELL YOU this book is a waste of time!

I get the idea that the author is a very smart man with years of experiense under his belt. The book says a lot of really smart things and I could say it was one of the best ones I've read. The problem is that between these excerpts of greatness are countless expressions of empty promises that his way is better then any other. The moves seem logical enough but I seriously doubt that even the best book could ever defeat a style. He makes constant referances to "the fools who still study Karate" saying that sparring and kata and other things are no match for training your mind for adaptability. he also talks about the UFC like a playground, with such an extreame number of rule and regulations that the whole thing is safe and stupid. I truly think that takeing out eye and neck gougeing hardly makes it a foolish game.
