4.0 out of 5 stars
Very cut-and-dry book on fighting physics,
By
This review is from: Effective Techniques for Unarmed Combat (Paperback)
This book is a very good one for understanding the most effective ways to move the body in a fight. The author starts off going into leverage in what he titles "A Primer", and then goes into the physics and biomechanics of throwing powerful strikes, including putting the maximum amount of weight into a punch. The second chapter is "Guiding Principles for Kickboxing", and goes into powerful, nontelegraphic blows while keeping a good defensive possition. The third chapter goes a little into jointlocks, and specifically the "wakigatame" style arm bar. The next chapter, on "combat wrestling", goes into a few basic, but effective, takedowns, used primarilly as examples to illustrate the authors principles. I think the chapter on unarmed vs. knives is worth looking at, but wouldn't be my #1 source of information on the subject. The last real chapter is unique in that it's about sentry removal in a non-lethal manner for the military. The book ends with a scientific breakdown of Holyfield/Tyson. It's a very good book, especially for the power-hitting and leverage chapters.

Very Good,
By Levi Souter (Victoria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Effective Techniques for Unarmed Combat (Paperback)
This book is one of the most in depth books on self defense that I have ever read. Although it is sometimes hard to visualize what they book it trying to tell you, there are multiple pictures that will help. And being classified as a lethal weapon myself, I realize that this book brings in all the "fun" aspects of my training over the years. Buy this book. It will help
