5.0 out of 5 stars Do you want to be tougher ? 7 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Probably the main reason people begin the study of combat arts is to attain a higher level of self-defence ability , or to put it bluntly , they want to become tougher ! So many believe that a black belt or a bigger physique will make them tougher , only to find that once they achieve those goals , the person inside is still the same .In this thought-provoking book , Jamie explores the real nature of toughness ; what it is and how it can be achieved . The fascinating interviews provide real insight into the minds of 'tough' men and how they deal with tough situations . There is no macho bull here , the interviewees give honest and often surprising answers to intelligent questions .

5.0 out of 5 stars Jamie O�Keefe has done it again�.. 17 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
An in-depth study of a previously untouched subject. Done by the way of interviews with Martial Artists, Soldiers, Professional Boxers, Bouncers, etc. The insight gained in reading these experts views in trying to fully answer Jamie's deep and thought provoking questions, make this a book value at twice the price. Who hasn't questioned their own toughness or lack of it?...Who has ever answered these questions before? Now you can read the answers and understand the ways in which 'fighters' understand toughness, and what it means to them. Jamie is one of the very few Authors who can make the marriage between the martial arts/Self Defence and Society, work well. Read this, or in fact any of Jamie's books, and questions you have asked of yourself or others, are answered in a unique and honest way. One of my very favourite books...and of many others too.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to become tougher than you are now! 24 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book gave me something that no other self protection related book has given before. The missing piece to the jigsaw on our understanding of what makes somebody tough. The secret domain. I will not talk about that here because it would spoil your reading of the book but I can assure you that you will come away gobbsmacked. The author also interviews key figures from Martial arts, boxing, bodyguards, streetfighters, Forien Legion, Territorial Army, Wrestling, Armed forces, Bouncers, Vietnam veterans,and so on to find out how they would make somebody tougher than they are now! The title implies that its a book for 'Guys' but its content is relevant to both sexes. This is a great book that you must check out if you are interested in what makes tough people tough..
