Street Fighting Moves - Book Review - Combat Applications Techniques by Andrew Curtiss
Author: Charles Prosper
Date Posted: February 24, 2009
Andrew Curtiss, Green Beret special forces military combatant,
2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwan Do, black belt in Shurite Kenpo
Karate, former kick boxer and current Mixed Martial Arts fighter,
reveals his secrets of close-range hand-to-hand combat-- techniques
that your sensei will never tell you. Andy has currently
published a book entitled "Combat Applications Techniques - Principles
of Destruction".
This 148-page illustrated book goes into the down and dirty world
of life and death survival be you under attack by an unarmed or
a knife wielding assailant.
To get a feel for the flavor of this work, this is what Andy has
to say about survival:
"Survival is the objective of this book. When faced against an
armed adversary, we value our life above all else. The sole purpose
of survival is when life hangs in the balance. The life that we
hold so precious becomes fragile when we find ourselves staring
death in the face. Often times we don't recognize that it could
only take seconds to have our lives bled out from underneath us.
It is only in the times of peril that we realize that our life is
handing by a thread that Survival becomes so important. Make no
mistake, this book is about Survival."
This book transcends the popular notion of martial art in that
it does not involve itself with techniques that are theatrical but
are plain, blunt, lethal, and life-preserving. In his book, you
will not see the fancy katas or the high and aerial kicks, for as
Andy Curtiss puts it "When fighting for survival, the minute you
take to the air, you are no longer grounded."
I feel that this book is an important addition to the library of
any serious street survival specialist.
I give it 4 out of 5 bookmarks.
