Customer Reviews

A basic philosophical guide to thinking like a warrior.

Though I do not agree with the author's every point; nevertheless, his comments certainly have value to those who are interested in a " no-non-sense" philosophical approach to living as a warrior. His philosophy, when it comes to dealing with the predators in our society, is the same as Bradley Steiner (Author of : The Essential Elements of Personal Combat). In this respect, his words are harsh, clear and specific. There are three parts to this book: Philosophical and mental Strategies cover his personal view on how to deal with predators within a society. Section two deals with physiological strategies of the warrior. The final section expounds on self-defense conditioning and physical conditioning of the warrior. In conclusion, this is a book for anyone who is interested understanding the difference between how a warrior thinks and how a predator should be delt with in our society. Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J.

Awesome techniques and well defined master keys

I was actually a student of Dr. LaTourette's for several years when I lived in Medford OR. Contrary to the diatribe of the previous reviewer, Docs methodology is solid. In my personal experience, Doc has always gone out of his way to present effective, efficient and devastating techniques. Additionally, Doc clearly defines the master keys (i.e. gravitational marriage, closing gaps and nerve cavities to name a few) behind the various techniques. Good luck in your martial arts practice.

Transcends systems!

Dr. La Tourette is a no-nonsense,straightforward type of guywho knows what it takes to survive on the streets.This excellentbook has strategies that can be applied to any fighting system and make it more street effective.I highly recommend this bookto any martial artist who takes street survival seriously.
