Product Description
Product Description
People who deal with violence on a daily basis know that the best way to avoid getting injured or sued by the jerk who started the trouble is to defuse the situation or put him down fast and hard. Here Animal shows you how to do both.
From the Author
There is more to being a professional than getting paid.
Your job as a member of any type of security force is to protect the owner's interests. That means not only preventing trouble, but -- if you do have to go physical -- doing it in a way that will keep both you and the establishment safe from lawsuits. That is what this book is about: How to physically contain someone without hurting him. This will be what keeps you from paying your lawyer's kid's way through college. And that's always a risk in this kind of business.

Format:Paperback
As a security guard in a millitary hospital I have come across my fair share of violent encounters. I can honestly tell you that this book is by far the most comprehensive and usefull book I've ever read on the subject (and thats more than I care to count). Marc goes throught every phase of a conflict and shows you steps to take to stop it as well as how to prepare your self so you can controll the situation no matter how they react. What I like about this book is there is not alot of technical mumbo jumbo, or self gratification, it's just common sense fighting. The information in the book is just like the title says "Ending Violence Quickly", Marc doesn't waste time tell in you how to do "this maneuver if he does that" he teaches you how to contain the guy in no time. Wich is good because some of the 250lbs Marines I've faced, I'm sure could have cleaned my clock had I not had the mind set and moves that are in this book. I highly recomend this book to every one even the guys who never plan on being in this sort of conflict.

Format:Paperback
This book is a must for anyone interested in self defense. Regardless whether you are a security professional or not. This book teaches you how to end a fight quickly and effectively. Animal Mac Young, covers everything from physical as well as psychological aspects of a fight, and the best way to do it, if possible "legally" which I think is an important aspect, most other books overlook. You can tell the man writes from personal experience and this helps you grasp the whole concept of the book better. Also the language he uses is great and it makes reading the book even more fun. Like everything you read in this subject, YOU must go out there and try to practice the techniques on a regular basis, if you do though, the info on this book might one day save your life.

Format:Paperback
Down to earth and real. This book is a must read for anyone interested in self defense. Dont look for any magic techniques or fantasies about becoming a bad ass. Marc MacYoung writes in a clear easy way that strips away alot of the crap people use when discussing fights and especially fighting techniques.

Disapointing if you have read his other books.
