    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.

    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

    A solid book that covers the various components which should be part of any “real” self-defense program. However, this title is not as much of a “how to” guide as it is a “what to” guide. Only those with little knowledge of reality training would complain about such a solid book. For those readers who seek more traditional and unrealistic training I would recommend any of the karate-style martial arts books that flood the bookstores yearly. Only get this book if you are interested in real-deal training by an author who has actually applied his skills on the street as an undcover police officer.

    It never ceases to amaze me how a group of people can read the same book and come out with completely different opinions. This fantastic book is a perfect example. As a lifetime student of the martial art, as well as a law enforcement defensive tactics instructor, I think this book is full of practical lessons and tips that could save your life. Right from the first chapter, this book details the first important lesson(THE WARRIOR MIND-SET IS EVERYTHING). As an advocate of “Living the way of the warrior” all my life, I think this is the first lesson that should be taught to those who want to win on the street. This great book is broken down into three parts. Each chapter has valuable information that is important to survive a violent encounter. In conclusion, this is a book that should be in every police officer’s personal library. It is also a text that should also be read by anyone who believes in the “right to self-defense” and refuse to be a willing victim. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.
