[GET} Three Second Fighter: The Sniper Option [One of the best self-protection books out there]

[Joeblack1]

I am studying a "real world" martial art (Krav Maga), and in Krav they touch on many of the things Geoff covers, but not to the depth that he does. Which is not surprising:



Geoff Thompson is an accomplished martial artist and an ex-doorman with a lot experience of how best to deal with the mugger/thug/guy in the pub looking for trouble. The title of the book is a reference to the fact that most fights are over after one punch.
One of the few martial arts instructors or self-protection instructors who understands and goes into the psychology of fighting. Most martial arts instructors get it wrong in that they ignore things like adrenaline (!), and the "pre-fight rituals" that go on, from eye contact, to the "what are you looking at...". to the aggressive body language, etc. He shows you how to spot it, and he shows you how to beat it, and defeat the attacker (recognizing that the attack is coming is at least half the battle).
Mr. Thompson covers the difference between a match fight, a gratuitous assault, and a pre-planned mugger's approach of disarming; the effects of muscle memory and action triggers; the different kinds of adreneline and how they effect a fighter; why you should have a 'main artillery' weapon and how to use it; and training for incorperating these newfound principles. Off hand, I'd say the most valuable part of this book is how to deal with the law when it comes to post-fight conditions.

Thanks for the share, Joe - as a retired martial arts instructor I can appreciate the "deeper" principles that Mr. Thompson shares. Most people are totally unaware of what it takes to be victorious in a fight.
