Very poor book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Practical Martial Arts For Special Forces (Paperback)
I found this book to be *very* poor in content. Most of the techniques can be found in the book "Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere" plus a whole lot more. I recommend that you don't waste youre time and money with this book, instead get a good book like AATDS.

"Practical martial arts"? Yeah Right,
By Jeremy Bowen (Rush, Ky United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Martial Arts For Special Forces (Paperback)
This book has a whole lot of writing about the writer. This whole book is basically reading and about 12 or 13 pictures. The pictures are quite stupid, basically all the pictures show are either things most people already know or how to get yourself killed when a gun is pointed at your head. This is a pretty terrible book for anything more than just reading. This book sucks. HOO-YAH!!!! Thank all war veterans.
