The one-Step

This is a great chapter in this book it explains one of the most basic drills which helps develop the most effective action. This has been found to be useful for many students and very simple to perform, two students working together.

The attacker initiates an attack very slow motion and the defender reacts, they continue this movement over and over until they wind up. They begin to find solutions to the attacks and change over so each one gets a turn. They will progress to more complicated mores as they progress. Timing is essential and students must go all out targeting the right parts, done slowly with cooperation.

Communication is key during this drill and be non competitive, they will have to mindful about naturally speeding up during this drill.

This is a great chapter and gives you an idea of the detail training tips in this book, I found the detail excellent in every section and easy to follow.

Dynamic Fighting

Self defense instructors teaching how to escape from a bear hug, this is good but the main people using bear hugs and law enforcement or bouncers mostly being used to control the person in some way. Fighting is dynamic moving and fast you need a good solid base. Being able to disrupt this base is a skill that you need to learn and develop, there is a drill where the use of judo jackets are used. This can be practiced in other clothing but you will destroy a lot of clothes.

The drill involves one as the aggressor and the other reacting to the pushing and pulling trying to maintain that base and not using strength, Finding other ways than strength to deal with the attacks. This drill is fully explained in the book giving you instructions. You learn how to control your weight and what works and what does not.

Practitioners of Judo, Jujitsu, Aikido, Rugby or American football you will be families with this concept. You will need a Matt to fall on but you will have to be proficient at break falls.

The Reality

In reality, you would use this skill and the environment to control your attacker and direct them into a wall or object. This drill will also give you the skill to help you deal with someone stronger than you and not resort to strength too much and only when needed.

This is demonstrated with the Sumo, when they fight only the souls of there feet are allowed to touch the floor during the contest. When any other part of there bodies hits the floor or they are pushed or thrown etc outside the defined area they lose the match. If you watch Sumo contests you will see it’s not allows the biggest or strongest that wins the bouts. They have developed the skills to deal with force and strength. You will find tips and teachings like those in the book itself.

Fighting

Fighting emptiness is another concept mentioned in this book which I found interesting and as a martial artist one which I will add to my knowledge for self defense, Just an example if you get someone in front of you with there fists up ready to fight. You do not fight that area, you avoid the fists a fight them from behind. This will of course take a lot of skill. This can be developed with the aid of is this book.

Learn how to get out of a clinch.

Learn about targeting where to hit, how to hit and what to hit with, It is also important to learn how to generate power no matter what size you are. This has to be learn and practiced on the heavy bag. Certain parts of the body can take more punishment than other parts. This targeting drill is simple and will teach you how to recognize more targets.

This amazingly simple drill is fully explained in this section.

There are also drills to increase your understanding of distance and the importance during combat or self defense.

Training Open-Ended Skills

Fighting is not just defense but all forms of human interaction and can be very complex, it not like maths where you can measure or workout the out comes. There are a lot of unknown and improvisation and one wrong move can change an outcome of a fight. This is just some great information in this section but it is more detailed and explained in an easy to understand way.

So these drills teach you to improvise naturally (do not stick to a script).

These drills need to be realistic as possible to train you for real attacks so I advise you read this section completely and follow those drills to build up your skill to a high level. If, you are a martial artist you may already be familiar with this type of training. This will help you condition the body, using live play but, always monitor safety at all times.
