COMBATIVE FUNDAMENTALS an Unconventional Approach Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read this book few years ago, after participating in an introductory pistol course conducted by the author. At the time, I thought it well written and a useful reference.
Since then, I've undergone several hundred hours more firearms training, some of which was again with the author, and keep coming back to this excellent resource with a deeper appreciation of its worth.
Mr. Gonzales has provided us with a book that keeps on giving, in that the deeper one goes into one's own practice and development with firearms, the more information and reinforcement can be gleaned from this excellent reference book.
I highly recommend it to anyone interested in, or involved with, firearms practice or training.
Sincerely,
Ron Flowers
Police Officer, SE Pennsylvania

Anatomy of a Streetfight Review

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.

Special Forces Survival Guide: Wilderness Survival Skills from the World's Most Elite Military Units Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I looked long and hard for a good survival tips book, hoping to get one that gave me detailed instructions on various topics like shelter construction, water gathering, etc. This book covers those topics, but at a very high level, with hand drawn pictures that give you little insight into how to actually do or build some of the items discussed. Lots of quotes from SAS folks like "Reserve your matches for starting properly prepared fires, not for lighting cigarettes.." (seriously, that was one of the tips). As a general overview of survival things you would want to think about or be aware of, it was OK, but if you were lost in 20 degree weather with a knife, a jacket, a bottle of water and this book, you would probably be SOL.
