			<description><![CDATA[Just read sun tzu's 'art of war'. Cracking book that can be read under an hour but seems to take a lifetime to master every nuance imparted. Also saw a lot of correlates with some of Geoff's self protection writing.

<br />
Definately one to be read by martial artist and non alike.

Be well,

			<description>Review of Al Peaslands Restriction Training and Effective Pre-emptive dvds.

 

Once again Al Peasland has excelled in his explanations and instructional step by step methods included in these dvds.They are put simply and are easy to understand, so benefitting the beginner or more advanced martial artist.

The effective pre-emptive dvd, is about learning the skills and mechanics required to achieve an effective pre-emptive strike and how to improve on power, accuracy and speed.Some people  ...</description>

			<description>Hi guys. I have just completed and watched both the book and dvd of the fence concept by Al Peasland. I have to say they are an absolute must for the beginners or more advanced people from the martial arts world.Al describes each section, in an easy to read way, and also easy to watch routines on the dvd.He takes you through all the various types of fence, with some illustrations, which help you to understand also.Included is his humour, which you might chuckle at!!! There is a section on how  ...</description>

			<description>This review has been a long time coming but I wanted to watch again Eddie Quinn's take on fighting in his new 3 part DVD series &quot;The Approach&quot;.



I have known Eddie for nearly 20 years, both as one of his teachers and as a close friend, and in that time I have watched him grow in stature, not just as a martial artist but as a man. This growth and development is mirrored in the high quality of work he has produced in this Instructional set. The series takes you through his philosophy  ...</description>

A brilliant book, Lito (many will remember from the GT forum) really knows his stuff. This book contains not only technical information but also some history, rules and a rundown of illegal moves, the techniques are laid out in A-Z fashion, well explained and superbly photographed with the addition of the authors insights to each technique this is an excellent text.

			<description>G'day all, 

Heres a link to an online version of Geoff Thompson's Dead or Alive.



Most would of read or at least heard about it. it is still one of the best Self Protection texts available. Heres the link, reproduced by Fight Times Magazine (Online) with permission, chapter by chapter:



http://www.fighttimes.com/magazine/magazine.asp?columnid=14



They have been adding a chapter each month or so the latest chapter is chapter 22-do's and dont's.

I had Al's Fence concepts arrive this morning. ( Cheers Mate ). and just finished it, in between breaks for a cup of tea and the odd biscuit read the whole book cover to cover.



Having trained with Al, Geoff and other top guys, this book is the epitome of everything which Al and Geoff any one else who has a good knowledge of the fence uses day to day. Clear, Concise and covering all aspects of the different types of fence, how to be pre emptive from each position, how the law  ...</description>

			<description>Hi



I have just finished watching Lee's new DVD 'Solo Training with the Manikin Dummy'. I think it is one of the best DVD's Lee's produced so far - which is saying something in itself. Even if you don't have a BOB or manikin dummy (which I don't) do not let that put you off. You still get loads of priceless Combatives/self-protection information from this DVD - including seeing the whole compressed Urban Combatives syllabus in action; the use of strangles &amp; chokes, use of weapons including  ...</description>

absolutely jam packed with info about fear control, accessing states, managing all different aspects of combat, from adrenaline to fatigue. ways to train these aspects etc included.



i would definately reccomend this set to anyone and everyone interested in RBSD. its quite simply a must have in my opinion.  ...</description>

			<description>First serious book I ever read on self protection, so good I ended up training with the author, albeit briefly due to my own time constraints.



Excellent book definately on par with Geoff Thompson's Dead or Alive and 'Dog's don't know kung fu' - O'Keefe.
