Book Reviews of 1,001 Street Fighting Secrets: The Principles Of Contemporary Fighting Arts
Book Review: Excellent Resource
Summary: 4 Stars
This book contains a wealth of information. There are sections on all aspects of fighting (eg. all possible unarmed tools, knives, sticks, guns, CS sprays, tazers - all from the point of view of both the attacker and defender), and much more (eg. how to avoid trouble, how to diffuse a situation, how to deal with the legal aftermath, how to train for combat).This book arms you with life-saving information, as well as dispelling some of the martial arts myths that could get you killed in a street-fight (eg. that high kicks are a good idea, that going to the ground is a good strategy in the street).
The one criticism I have about this book is that many of these so-called 'secrets' are absurdly obvious. I hardly think "being fit is an advantage" is much of a secret. Lots of the secrets fall into this 'Well, duh!' category. Nevertheless, this book covers such a wide area that there will always be a lot of valuable information, no matter what level you're at.
