Good Servce and Product

This Book was received within 10 days after it was ordered In Very Good condition, a great value in my opinion for the Dollars spent.

A very good basic guide to Police Defensive Tactics.

As a law enforcement defensive tactics instructor and a life time student of the martial arts, I found this book to be helpful and informative. Though I certainly do not agree with all the techniques presented in this volume; nevertheless, it does have some good advice and many of the techniques are sound and effective. Most of the techniques they show using the police baton are good. However, one of the areas I disagree with is the way they show wrapping the hand when using the baton. The other material in this book is fairly solid. In conclusion, this book is an excellent reference source when used in conjunction with actual hands-on training with a certified law enforcement defensive tactics instructor. Rating: 4 stars.

Nothing flashy

This is a fine book for picking up basic stick fighting techniques quickly. Clear sequence pictures demonstrate solid moves. No hanbo here; this is hitting the bad guy with a nightstick to discourage him or take him down. But isn't clear instruction what we're looking for?

Great book for practical, everyday defense

Right from the beginning, this book explains in detail different moves for defense in real-life situations. The different methods are very clear cut with pictures to explain exactly what to do in that specific situation. These moves really work.
