The Brutal Art of Ripping, Poking & Pressing Vital Targets Book by Loren Christenson (Preowned)

There is nothing pretty or clean about brawling. It hurts, it's frightening, it's brutal, and it's ugly. If you accept the fact that all fighting is dirty all the time, then you must take advantage of every dirty trick you can muster.

That's where this book comes in.

The ripping, poking, pinching, and pressing techniques in this book emphasize quick, vicious delivery to the eyes, throat, ears, groin, nerve points, and other acutely vulnerable targets on the human body. They range from annoying (to distract an attacker enough to enable you to execute other moves) to devastatingly destructive, when there are no other options but to cause intense pain and potential injury. The criteria for their inclusion are that they must be simple, they must hurt, and they must work in close-in fighting.

Loren Christensen's service as a military policeman in Saigon during the Vietnam War, his 25 years as a veteran street cop in Portland, Oregon, and his training in the martial arts since 1965 have provided him with real-world perspective on truly functional self-defense techniques. No streetfighting education is complete without the arsenal of nasty tricks he provides in The Brutal Art of Ripping, Poking, and Pressing Vital Targets
