Martial Arts Book Review: Cheap Shots, Ambush and Other Courses by Marc "Animal" MacYoung

As the author of several books on martial arts and combat, I have been looking for quality books that can be added to my library. If there is a book in my library, it is definitely worth having. One of the books is Marc "Animal" Mac Young, "cheap shots, ambushes and other courses."

Once again, Marc gives you an unfettered ban on watching the battle and the reality of living on the street. This book simply contains sound principles and easy-to-learn techniques to make the most of the bad situation. Marc spent a lot of time discussing the principles behind the technology and what to look for. I find the information behind the principles behind these techniques very useful, and it's usually a good indicator of high quality self-defense and/or martial arts books.

Introduction:

Obviously, Marc has encountered some bad experiences in regular martial arts training, which is too bad. However, it must be remembered that "a bad apple will not destroy the entire baby." If I am not mistaken, I believe this is either an old fable or a Jackson 5 sentence. Or maybe even both.

foundation:

One. Attitude or spirit.

This can also be summed up as you want to do whatever you have to do in order to survive not only the violent encounters, but also to stand out among the most important things.

Bay fear and the negative voice in your mind.

In this section, Marc discusses fear and negative reinforcement training, which begins when we can crawl to the time you are put in a wooden box.

C. The difference between fighting and fighting.

Believe it or not, there is a difference between fighting and fighting. In general, fighting is usually a combination of stupidity and hormones. Although the battle is a serious life and death. Yes, sometimes fighting can lead to fighting.

range:

Marc introduces three different battle ranges and the preferred general technology used in each range. The scope is as follows:

Wrestling

2. In the fight

3. Remote combat

Mobility:

Although I found this part to be too short, it still provides a lot of useful information about avoiding blows, rather than trying to stop it. In other words, "If you don't hit you, it won't hurt you."

balance:

Although I found this part to be too short, it still provides a lot of useful information about balance and the importance of maintaining it. In other words, "If you stumble on your own feet, how can you expect to defend yourself?"

Blocking:

The theory and principles behind blocking are at the forefront of this section, and almost no real technology is correctly presented. When you read the introduction, it is the author's intention. Remember, this is not a technology-oriented book, but the principles and theories behind the technical book. That is a very good person.

counter:

I also found this part to be a bit biased to me and I hope to see it extend at least a few pages. However, the information it contains is practical and a good thing to think about. You may or may not know that the counterattack is considered an attack by the owner.

Strike:

In this section, Marc discusses four different types of hits and what they are designed or what they plan to do. They are as follows:

One. Adjustment

These can [and include] boxer jabs. These designs are used to confuse and create one or more openings in the opponent so that you can take advantage of them with heavier, more dangerous strikes.

Bay buzz

These blows are more violent than the initial set, and are designed to "snap" the feeling of the opponent.

C. Maimers

These blows are designed to cause maximum damage after first contact with an opponent. For example; use an open hand to hit the side of the head, once it hits the head, reach out and grab the ear and tear it off the side of the skull.

d. N.N.B.R.

Whenever I read N.N.B.R., I had to laugh. It's not that they are interesting, but the acronym is very interesting. The purpose of these blows is to get your lights off, diaper time, kiss the canvas, etc. They will defeat you!

fist:

Although this section presents several benefits, perhaps the most important point is this. "Just like your impact, it should come back as quickly."

kick:

Before I enter the "basic points" of this section, I have to admit that the theme of kicking is my pain. It is not in the sense of opposing it. In fact, it is exactly the opposite, but when properly implemented and applied correctly, it fully supports kicking as a means of self-defense. This in itself can be a decisive factor in improving the chances of victory, or it can be a determinant between total humiliation and a small amount of pain.

Keep the following two points in mind when reading this section.

One. In most cases, Mark's many about kicking are correct.

Bay however, this is not an invalid kick, but an invalid application of invalid kicks.

Grounding:

An absolutely wonderful part of a little-known aspect of creating power in your blows.

One. Use the ground to add strength to your blows.

Bay correctly throws the principles behind the blow.

C. Change the blow by using grounding.

Linear and nonlinear forms:

Discusses the difference between a straight line attack and a loop attack.

Hard and soft:

Theory, principles, and comparison of soft and hard styles.

Trapping, etc.:

This is a very good part about the techniques of capturing and binding your opponent's limbs as they try to hit you. This allows you to deprive them of their limbs and their ability to fight effectively, while giving you the opportunity to make several hits. This is just a small sample of the discussion in this section.

strategy:

A pretty good part is devoted to this very important topic. I particularly like what Marc says about the components that make up the whole strategy. All in all, this is a great good list. They are as follows:

One. Know how

Bay thinking

C. awareness

d. timing

Luck

F. impromptu

Anger, bully and Berserker:

Marc offers you a very good overview of the three types of people most likely to encounter in a self-defense situation. He also provided reasonable advice on how to deal with each of these threats.

Sucker blows, low blows and tips:

In this section, Marc discusses theories and principles of cheap lenses and some other myths. Very informative information, like the rest of the information in this book, should be stored in old gray matter and used frequently. The following are two of the issues discussed in this section.

One. Transfer and hide

Bay Telegraph

Bad scorpion:

One. Molding

How to discover the various types described in this section.

Bay various types

In this section, Marc provides you with a detailed analysis of the various types of gangrene that may or may not be encountered. Some of them you will never want.

Fight and fight:

Mark discussed the huge difference between fighting and fighting.

Alpha and Beta:

The wonderful part about the alpha/beta concept and how it works for humans, if not for animals.

Misunderstanding:

If you don't learn from them, you may die from them.

punishment:

You need to learn how to take and accept pain in battle to make sure it doesn't affect you in a negative way. However, beatings proves that you can be just plain stupid.

Friends and other aggravation:

"If you lie down with the dog, you will get flea sooner or later." If your friend seems to always get you into trouble, maybe it's time to find a new friend. This section discusses the issues you may encounter that are not caused by you, but by people around you.

Woofing:

A good example of this part is more often referred to as "verbal judo."

Mainly for women:

This is a very good part, directed at women. Marc discusses the problems women face and what they need to do to empower themselves and fight back.

arms:

Mark discusses the various types of weapons you may encounter and spends a lot of time discussing the most common weapon, the knife. He also includes four rules for the use of weapons, which are very reasonable and should be followed.

Martial arts and street fights:

Marc compares PKA [Professional Karate Association] with self-defense and I have to take some exceptions. For me, it's like comparing apples and oranges. Although I do understand the comparison he is trying to do. I must stress again, "A bad apple won't destroy the whole baby."

teacher:

A good teacher is worth their gold weight, just like a bad person deserves their weight in nonsense.

miscellaneous:

As described in the chapter title. Miscellaneous information, I am very happy to know.

Like all books by Marc, this book is straightforward and very good value for money.
