5.0 out of 5 stars All you'll ever need to fight back and win, 10 Aug 2001
At last, an author who has the intelligence to realise that not everyone who needs to defend themselves is 7ft tall - indeed, it is probably because of this fact they need to defend themselves in the first place. Mr O'Hagan describes excellent no-holds barred techniques that DO, not CAN work. Throughout the book I actually found myself for the first time wincing out loud like a moron at the brutal effectiveness of the techniques. Mr O'Hagan also manages to bolster the small man's confidence 100-fold with words alone. Reading this book gives a tremendous sense of well-being, leaving you feeling ready to tackle the world and win afterwards. This is simply one of the best self-protection manuals ever written. Buy it now and I guarantee you will thank me for recommending it. Seeing as you're already on Amazon buy "Real Self Defence" by Geoff Thompson, and "Pre-emptive Strikes For Winning Fights" by Jamie O'Keefe while yo're at it. You will not be disappointed, and it will save you're life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! One of the best self defence guides out, 13 Feb 2000
By J. Burgess "Samurai Ronin" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The print quality of this book looks a little amateurish but having said that that, the book is full of really good, practical advice and if you are interested in the world of self defence it is a definite must have. The information is based around adapting the martial arts to the street, utilising kicking, punching, locks, takedowns & chokes. 180-odd pages of good solid advice including photos of the applications and breakdown of the techniques. Not a book to be without!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good advice and strategy for streetfights..., 30 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Kevin knows what he's talking about and shows the reader easy, effective and quite brutal techniques and metods to use agaist the big guy. But a reader that has no previous martial arts training will have a hard time understanding how to perform the tecniques used in the book! I.e how to stand, kick punch ect. More detailed explanations/picture series of the tecniques/stands/footwork used are required.
