Floor Fighting: Stompings, Maimings, and Other Things to Avoid When a Fight Goes to the Ground Book by Marc MacYoung (Preowned)

Anyone who's ever been in or seen a real fight or two knows that, more than likely, it will end up with the participants rolling around on the ground. And that's where things really get ugly . . . mass stompings, weapons being pulled in the melee, and desperately violent techniques being used.

In Floor Fighting, Marc "Animal" MacYoung covers the subject from the time you and your opponent are about to go down to when you're back on your feet, including all of the jerking, jabbing, gouging, biting, and twisting nastiness in between!

The idea of winning a street fight that has gone to the ground has little to do with putting your opponent in some kind of "hold" and more with maiming him so badly that you can get up quicker than he can. Animal discusses how to fall without damaging yourself, how to slam your opponent down with the most devastating impact, how to take somebody down who's trying to stomp you from above, the best ways to defend yourself from the ground, the quickest ways to hurt someone once you're both on the ground, and your two options once you are back on your feet - getting out of there or kicking the shit out of your downed attacker!

About the Author:

Marc MacYoung has never fit well into simple categories. That's because of his diverse past. When his family fell into situational poverty he found himself facing lifestyles and problems that most people have no idea exist, much less have experience dealing with. It was during that time the earned the street name "Animal." Many of his stories start with qualifiers like "The first time I was shot at..." and "The last time I had someone try to stab me..." (It was a long hard climb out of that lifestyle.) Decades of experience in environments and professions where violence was common, would eventually lead him to being a court recognized expert about violence, crime, and self-defense.

This wide ranging background gives him a completely different perspectives of the complex problems involved with personal safety, conflict, violence, and crime avoidance —especially how there are no simple answers (e.g., martial arts or carrying a gun). Those approaches may soothe fears, but they don't actually address danger —or the problems you'll face if you have to use them.

Over the years his works have evolved from that of a streetfighter to taking a more practical approach of avoidance and/or deterrence. This opens far more effective and non-violent options for his readers. As he often says "I'm not about fear management. My goal is danger management. I'm more interested in teaching you how to avoid walking into the lion's jaws than giving you false confidence about doing so."
