Simple, To The Point, and Very Well Done! October 22, 2008

I have read several of Loren's other books and found all of them very well done and very informative. I expected as much from this book, and I wasn't disappointed.
Each pictures took up an entire page and were very clear, although on a couple of the techniques I wished there had been a few more pictures in-between to show more smoothly the transition from one position to another, but that is merely a trivial complaint and not one that really affects any aspect of this book. The descriptions were well done, although I would have liked to seen a couple of them be a bit more descriptive, mainly for my own personal benefit more than anything.
Although not a lot of space was devoted to any one particular technique, the author did a fine job giving the reader a wide array of techniques that they can implement into their own personal arsenal of self-defense techniques. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learning some simple and useful joint techniques for self-defense.
Here are a couple of other books by the author that I found to be extremely useful.

A very informative and fast read. None of the locks are overly complex but very workable. No fluff, only wished that he went into the various hammer locks (Turkey wings Chicken wings) as Judo Gene Lebel refers to them. I have read alot of Lorens books and found that this one along w/ his Mental Edge are best 2.A++++
Always good July 7, 2006

I'm a long time fan of Loren Christensens books and DVDs. This one is exceptional and exactly waht I was looking for.
Christensen shows effective techniques that he and others he knows have used on the street in street fights and in his job as a cop. He shows you how to bring on the pain and then if the situation calls for it, he shows how to cause extreme damage to a person's joint or bone.
He calls his approach walking the body, which means he shows how to hurt fingers, wrists, elbows and so on through all the joints all the way to the ankles and toes.
If you're looking for street realistic techniques, this is a good one.
