Format:Paperback
I have rated this book 5 stars on the material that it covers, ie the fence. The material which is direct and to the point could be a life saver some day. Don't expect a full self defense guide however. You will have to get some of Geoffs other books to get the full picture.

Format:Paperback
Geoff Thompson should be in every martial artist vocabulary, along with Bob Breen, Dan Inosanto, Larry Hartsell. He is grounded in his no-nonses style of giving the truth to those who take the time to read one of his books. After reading this I found it very helpful in all aspects of life not just martial arts practice, in my work and socail life. The Fence is a useful tool that easily placate a situation as it is non threatening and makes you ready for any type of confrontation. The only bug bare I have with this book is the acecdotes could have done without them but I suppose they were to highlight a point, but they came across as a bloke bragging really. only four stars from me as could have done with a little more

Excellent 16 Oct 2006
By John - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Excellent book on how to avoid being hurt in a fight, and what to do if you have to fight. I can't recommend this book enough. I think everyone should read it, but especially bouncers, police, etc. Should be taught as standard. Great book that can be read in one hour. The concept of the fence is one of the best self-defense techniques I have seen. Very easy to use, and extremely useful. All bouncers will tell you "don't let the guy touch you", and this book highlights that.

Effective, yet simple 20 Nov 2008
By G. Vartha - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A small book, that packs the punch you'd expect. This is the advice that dojos don't teach you and it is so simple it is a shame the traditionalists can't see its worth. Geoff's language is easy to understand, and his advice is priceless. In order for his 'Fence' to work, you have to have the realisation that you MUST act when it counts. This is what it all relies on. The advice will definitely give you the advantage. It works, if you have the balls to implement it.

A philosophy that works.

It is well written in a laid back style, with a few typing errors, but his makes it all the more real. Well worth the price.
