Product Description
Ancient martial arts legends tell of masters who possess a mysterious ability to defeat an opponent — and in some cases even cause death — with one perfectly placed blow. The Secret Art of Pressure Point Fighting transforms the myth into a modern, anatomically -based self-defense technique that allows smaller defenders to defeat larger attackers by striking at the vulnerable points on their bodies. Written by one of the world's leading authorities and clearly illustrated with photos of each pressure point, this book shows how knowledge of the body's vulnerable points can enhance both competitive fighting and personal self-defense skills. The Secret Art of Pressure Point Fighting doesn't teach theoretical strikes, it presents the actual moves used throughout the world by military special forces and law enforcement agencies to disable opponents as quickly as possible. The moves in this book are straightforward and easy to learn. They are designed to empower anyone — regardless of size or physical strength — with the ability to stop an attacker using a minimal amount of physical strength.

The only Martial Arts book you will ever need October 27, 2008 A. Robinson (Phx, AZ USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
There is nothing secret about pressure point fighting, contrary to what the title of the book says, but this book does teach us something that the vast majority of Martial Arts authors talk as though it were a secret and that is how can an ordinary person defend themselves from violence. Okay, so this book will not teach you how to win trophies at a competition, perform ridiculously super-human moves for a Hollywood picture, or get a job as a bouncer, but that is not what any of us really want is it? If that is what you want, then waste your money on one of those other books and spend thousands of dollars and tens of years, and probably still never accomplish your goal. That isn't to say that those other Martial Arts have their place. If you want to be an assassin and need to scale a temple wall to fight guards on high, narrow walls and then enter the temple grounds and fight to the death in a tight, confined place (like an elevator), then Wing Tsun is for you and no other Martial Art will do. If you want to brawl like a barbarian in a cage for sport in a death match, then Jujitsu is for your and no other Martial Art will do. If you are on foot and need to knock attacking riders off from their horses, then Taekwondo is for you and no other Martial Art will do. But if you are a computer programmer or Mom and Pop type of person, and just want to avoid violence as much as possible, but if it ever becomes impossible to avoid, at least know how to get out of the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible, then pressure point fighting is for you and no other Martial Art will do. That is what this book teaches -- how to get out of a fight and get away safely in four steps or less, with minimal effort or training. Don't work harder to defend yourself, work smarter by learning the techniques of this book and keep your money and weekends free for other more important things...like LAN parties or shopping!
