As martial artist we are trained to defend our self if the need ever arises. We train to be able to defeat our opponents and to believe we can take on anyone who threatens our lives. For the majority of us the only time we actually get a chance to test out our art is in tournaments. In The Little Black Book of Violence it gives us insight real life aspect of fighting that we don't really learn in dojos or tournaments. I'm always surprise how many martial artist are ignorant of the legal ramifications that we have as martial artist. This book will serve to give a clearer picture of what a real life fight will be like and all the consequences that come with it. Being a smart martial artist is not only about knowing how to punch and kick but also being able to defend your self before, during and after a fight and this book will help see that.
Well done July 3, 2010

Assuming any of its prime target audience (15-35yo) will read it this book makes excellent points about the reality of how dangerous any violent confrontation can be, gives sensible strtegies re dealing with various scenarios and offers examples practical physical techniques while correctly noting that these cannont really be learned from a book and some sustained traing under a good indtructor is a must for those who aspire to use such techniques in reality.
I only wish that just as the authors point out that fighting and combat are different activities they would also promote that self defense is best regarded as another different activity again and the mindset of self defense I would suggest could best be described as keeping oneself safe which is a way different mindset to fighting or combat and encompasses far more than protecting oneself from violence from others.

When you read the title of the book for the first time, you get the impression that this book is filled with fighting techiques that are to be applied on the street. It's not like that at all.
The sole purpose of this book is to convince you that fighting is extremely dangerous and has lots of negative consequences. It is dividend into 3 parts: Before the fight, during the fight, and after the fight. Before the fight section covers usually the matters that escalate into a fight. How to de-escalate them and how to be prepared for the fight if you had no other choice. During the fight section covers broad range of practical techniques that could be used on the streets, whether striking or grappling. After the fight covers the consequences of the fight such as 1st aid assistance, law suits, and fueds.
The book is so convincing that it makes you think twice before you ever get into another fight. Every young man must read this book because this would literally save lives.
This book is so good I believe they should me a documentary based on it.
Lawrence Kane and Kris Wilder are two wonderful martial arts authors. All their books are great buys.
pretty good stuff April 29, 2010

This book is a very interesting read,its not so much about violence than avoiding it. The majority of the book is spent trying to get you to be aware of the signs to potentially violent situations. there are various pictures of the application of tips included in the book also pictures of the aftermath of different violent situations. Its mostly about Although there are some tips included for those times when running and/or hiding isn't an option. There are also various holds and throws explained in the book along with pictures detailing there application. Overall its a good read and can help keep you aware of the world around you, possibly noticing things that you would have ignored otherwise.
