Street Tough: Hard-Core Anything Goes Streetfighting Fundamentals Book by Phil Giles (Preowned)

If you want to learn what it takes to prevail in real, all-out _street combat, you need to get Street Tough.

A 6th-degree black belt who has trained in everything from jujutsu, judo, karate, and aikido to boxing, grappling, and stick and knife fighting, Phil Giles has had to put his martial skills to the test on the street repeatedly over the years. What ultimately emerged was the Street Tough scientific fighting method. Based on what proved effective in no-holds-barred street and bar brawls, it is a distillation of the most practical skills, drills, and training methods culled from his 30 years of formal martial arts training.

In this book, Phil Giles provides full-throttle instruction in how to prevail in a street or bar fight, from the proper combat mind-set to the first stand-up blows to when the fight gets down and dirty on the ground. This is some of the most aggressive self-defense training you are ever likely to receive, including the best ways to close with an opponent to smother his attack, how to slam someone up against a wall and really go to work on him, and fierce ground fighting tactics that will make an opponent instantly realize that he made a very bad mistake when he decided to assault you. A series of intense training drills performed at full power and full speed sets the Street Tough program apart from all other self-defense regimens.
