Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In terms of practicality it's not bad. Most people can execute an eye jab, punch or shin kick more effectively than some grappling technique so this book is more realistic in that sense.
If you want effective self defense combine this book with "Strong On Defense".
If anything the practice of these techniques would build confidence in the average person. Would they allow a reader to prevail in a streetfight? Maybe. That would depend on your definition of a streetfight and level of training.
In a scenario with a mugger or robber it would be stupid to fight (UNLESS you believe your life is at stake). The books' techniques seem appropriate for this setting. You should have avoided that situation in the first place though.
In an alternate scenario take some idiot mouthing off in a bar or in a parking lot. Most of the negative reviewers assume that the bad guy is a Grappler or NHB champ (Why I have no idea). These techniques would work in that situation IF you hit first and hit hard. Will the fight go to the ground? Most likely YES! Why? One of the combatants will be unconscious. That's the real reason most fights go to the floor, someone gets knocked out or close to it.
In a streetfight there is no substitute for awareness and commonsense. Is being a Champion Boxer, NHB Fighter or Power Lifter a substitute for these 2 things? NO! Most criminals need only enough strength and speed to pull a trigger, usually in the dark and from a safe distance.
