Arts Book Review: American Law and the Trained Fighter by Carl Brown
This section starts off by asking the question, “Just what am I
entitled to do in a self-defense situation.” This of course varies
from situation to situation and is dependent upon numerous circumstances
that will be present and unique to each situation. Therefore, there
is no magic answer. What the author attempts to do is give you some
sound basic knowledge from which to work with and expand upon through
your own research into the specific laws and legal precedents that
have been set in the area in which you live...

Arts Book Review: Martial Arts and the Law by Dr. Karl J. Duff
One of the key things to remember in any self-defense situation
is that even if you are 100% in the right that may not be the case
in the eyes of the legal system and/or in a civil case. What I am
presenting here is a review of the author’s book and therefore his
opinions on the matter...

Arts Book Review: Knife Fighting, Knife Throwing for Combat by Michael
D. Echanis
Being the author of several books on the martial arts and fighting,
I am always looking for books of exceptional quality to add to my
library. If I have a book in my library, it's definitely worth owning.
One such book is Michael D. Echanis’, "Knife Fighting, Knife Throwing
for Combat." This book is directly influenced by the Korean martial
art of Hwarang Do and its current Grandmaster Joo Bang Lee, who
Echanis had studied under before his untimely demise in Nicaragua.

Arts Book Review: Black Medicine The Dark Art of Death by N. Mashiro,
Ph.D.
This was one of the first books that I ever purchased years ago
when I was in high school and starting to learn about the martial
arts. This book gives you a very good overview on the vulnerable
and vital points on the human body and is very informative. If you
are interested in self-defense or any of the martial arts, I would
definitely put this book on your too buy list.

Like all of the great martial artists past and present, Mas has
a remarkable and relevant philosophy not only on the martial arts,
but also on how to conduct yourself in your every day life. Some
of these philosophies may seem a little rigid, but not when you
look at it from the perspective of a true martial artist...

Arts Book Review: Freedom from Fear by Peyton Quinn
Peyton starts the introduction of his book off by asking you the
following simple and direct question, “What are you really after
in life?” This question must be answered honestly and after great
deliberation in order for it to have the desired effect. If this
book could be summed up in one simple all encompassing statement,
it would have to be this, “Don’t allow fear to run your life.”

Arts Book Review: Ending Violence Quickly by Marc "Animal" MacYoung
Marc starts off this book with a chapter devoted to the escalation
of violence, and why it is generally not a good idea to do so. Although
it tends to be a common occurrence in today’s society, the more
preferred method should almost always be de-escalating the situation
into a non-violent resolution, rather than escalating it...

Arts Book Review: Real Fighting by Peyton Quinn
On a personal note, I found it quite interesting how certain people’s
paths can cross without either one knowing about the other. A case
in point, Peyton relates a story about a massive brawl which took
place at a very prestigious bare-knuckle karate tournament in Denver,
Colorado. Which just so happened to be the very same tournament
that I competed in and also had the misfortune to witness the very
disgusting behavior of a certain so called martial artist and his
friends. I often wondered if he recalled seeing me compete...
