Strictly Street Stuff: A Streetwise Guide to Personal Protection Book by Bill Bryant (Preowned)

Raised among bootleggers in an area where violence was a way of life, Bill Bryant has been in a donnybrook or two. Here he shares hard-won wisdom gleaned from the barrooms and back alleys of the world's major ports during his 20 years of naval service and stints as a shore patrolman, bouncer, and security professional.

Trained from the age of 6 in the fine art of melees and mayhem and later in conventional Eastern and Western fighting arts, this is a man who has put his skills to the test and lived to tell the tale. And tell he does. Seamlessly weaving together gritty war stories and insightful instruction, he passes on the lessons of a lifetime like he's sitting on the bar stool next to you.

In his straight-shooting, informal style, Bryant lays out his no-b.s. techniques for close-quarter combat—with and without weapons-along with his functional physical training regimen. Then he shows you how to integrate them into a unique "personalized combat form" tailored to your needs. There are no belts, no formalities, no icons to pay homage to. Just a simple, straightforward program
