 Real Worl Self Defense December 27, 2001
4 out of 22 found this review helpful
If you can get through the rambling of the author there is some good information here. However, I have to think there are better ways to write on this subject and would not recommend this book.
 Great Book November 25, 2001
This is the best book on self defense I have read. I have
read it 6 times already. I'm on my 7th read. Each time I
learn more. It is a superb read, written by a very humorous
ex-policemen who has put in tremendous research into this book. Best book I've read in a long long time.
 Not worth the cost August 20, 2001

I decided to buy this book as I'm always looking for something about this matter, as I'm a self defence instructor for policemen, and I find this book really ... empty ! It has NO ONE idea to how really survive in this world, also: following to this book, we should always carry a bowie knife, a long heavy stick, a gun and some other hitting weapon with us. Great defense isn't it ? And a nuclear shelter where to live in? It's even not worth the cost

I spent 20 years as a NYC court officer and I found the authors description of what to expect from the criminal justice system to be (unfortunately) deadly accurate. The rest of the volume is superb! Good, solid, pratical and, no doubt, hard won knowledge.This one rates right up there with the works of Rex Applegate and W.E. Fairbairn. Get this book!!!.

Interested in staying alive in dangerous times? Then this is the book to help you do it! Whether you're a beginner or advanced, this book has something for everyone. Many books "Claim" to be the ultimate defense book, but you don't see very many on here being reviewed. That's because most of them are overly complicated, lacking real world approaches or scenarios, or the info is just plain wrong... Not so with this book. Jerry covers each section and chapter in DETAIL, and then backs up that advise with more techniques throughout the book. He's obviously a believer in "stay aware and keep it simple"! (My kinda guy!)
