Book
Description From Publisher:
A realistic look at self-defense with loads of serious
lessons and practical advice on fighting and violence,
including awareness and avoidance.
Author Alain Burrese's actual experiences provide the
backbone for this realistic look at self-defense. Barroom
brawls, street fights, and barracks ruckuses combined with
bouncing, security, and bodyguard work taught the author the
realities of fighting and street violence. This informative
and entertaining guide contains loads of serious lessons and
practical advice on fighting and violence and gives you the
knowledge you'll need to prevail in a physical encounter
(including how to be aware of and avoid an impending fight).
Burrese covers the physical aspects of self-defense such as
punching, kicking and other related training, but more
importantly, he covers the little discussed aspects of
self-defense and fighting. Things such as: what you are
wearing, who you are with, and most importantly your mental
state and realizing when you don't have to fight. If you want
to learn how to avoid a fight, or what to do when you can't or
don't want to, Hard-Won Wisdom From the School of Hard Knocks
is one you will thoroughly enjoy and learn from.
