ONE OF THE BEST! December 8, 2005
O'Keeffe knows what he is talking about, no matter it's the street or the ring. The techniques are very practical and it cna give a kick boxing/Mugay Thai fighter a all rounded self defense manual. It also covers awareness, conditioning, strength training, mindsets, defend against multiple attackers, weapon defense (stay out of the knife stuff, most of them are not practical for the average guy, but it did address how dangerous the knife is. Also covers drills, training methods, escaping holds, pre emtive strikes, situational defense and one of the best thing about this book is that he does not covers only techniques, it talks about what do you need to look and pay attention to in a certain situation, the dangers of the situation, and lots of advices. Some of the bad advice is that putting your back against the wall in a multiple assilant situation will more likely get you killed. But use your own judegement, test teh technique under real pressure, have your partner really trys to make your technique fail! This book starts with a foreword by self protection pioneer Geofff Thompson and threat awareness, pre emtive strikes, basic strikes. It ends with teaching targeting, vital points, and a lsit of recommandation. Overall this is a great book and should be in any serious self defense practioner's libary.
