 An outstanding resource for serious martial artists! January 22, 2007
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I wrote a couple of chapters for this book so I may be a little biased, but I firmly believe that it is an outstanding resource for serious practitioners of the fighting arts. I know the author and several of the other contributors as well. They are all veteran martial artists, folks with real street skills and hard won experience as well as the ability to communicate what they have learned effectively. It's rare to find a collaboration of this quality. It's rarer still for a sequel to outshine the original, but that's exactly what you'll find in this outstanding tome. Loren's writing and editing skills shine through. You'll find solid information with great photos and illustrations to help you make the most of it right away. Really good stuff!
Here's the back cover text:
You will fight how you train. 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.
In addition to Loren Christensen's no-nonsense instruction on justified use of extreme tactics, fighting wounded, attacking the eyes and neck, surviving a dog attack and using the mini-flashlight to ward off an attacker, you'll get expert insight from:
** Lt. Col. Dave Grossman: Army Special Forces, psychologist - on conditioning the mind
** Iain Abernethy: England's leading exponent of applied karate - on street sparring
** Rory A. Miller: corrections officer, tactical team trainer - on in-fighting
** Kris Wilder: multiple black belt holder & international competitor - on punching power
** Lawrence Kane: martial artist and football stadium security supervisor - on shock blocks
** Alain Burrese: hapkido expert, and former bouncer and bodyguard - on kicking skill
** Wim Demeere: Belgian full-contact fighter and personal trainer - on street sanshou
** Richard Dimitri: veteran fighter and popular trainer - on using The Shredder
** Mark Mireles: LA cop, twice Medal of Valor recipient - on chokes and clinching
** Tim Delgman: 9th-degree jujitsu black belt - on throws for the street
** Dan Anderson: karate champion and arnis master - on fighting with single stick
"I was most pleased that my friends agreed to contribute to this book. I was pleased for my own selfish reason in that I would get to learn from them, as I have so often before. And I was pleased that their contribution, based on their experiences on the street, would make this book the highly informative one it is." - Loren W. Christensen (from the Introduction).
