Product Description
Let William Beaver, a 17-year martial artist and former U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, teach you how to use your hands and feet to deliver natural, reflexive strikes and holds to disarm and disable any attacker. Beaver provides step-by-step instructions and drills in such vital aspects of empty-hand combat as ground fighting, grab counters and firearm and knife defenses.

About the Author
William Beaver has lived overseas since 1992. As an American expat himself and the editor of Overseas Digest, a newsletter and Web site, he is in the ideal position to know what information is truly useful to Americans who are living or working in a foreign country or considering doing so. He currently resides in Kuwait with his wife and two children.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor book., May 22, 1998
By A Customer
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Practical martial arts"? Yeah Right, September 5, 2000
By Jeremy Bowen (Rush, Ky United States) - See all my reviews
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.
