MASTER'S GUIDE TO BASIC SELF-DEFENSE
Progressive Retraining of the Reflexive Response
by Master Hei Long
At least once in his life, every man will stand face-to-face with an aggressor. In that moment of truth, he must be prepared to defend himself-to the death if necessary. Despite common self-defense myths, there is no deeply mysterious method by which you can touch an opponent in a strategic spot and bring him to his knees.

The core of any system of self-defense is the response to an attack. but certain natural bodily responses (such as ducking and blinking) often leave you exposed and defenseless. In an unexpected attack, none of your martial arts training is going to help you if these reflexes are allowed to take over.

Master Hei Long's training program focuses on deconditioning such counterproductive responses to assault. Through a structured learning process that combines fundamental defensive maneuvers with the retraining of the central nervous system, you will learn how to instinctively avoid common assaults and counterattack with maximum efficiency and ferocity to deftly and swiftly crush your assailant. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, illus., 124pp. $14.00

STREET LETHAL
Unarmed Urban Combat
by Sammy Franco
To survive a real streetfight, forget about those fancy leaping kicks and preplanned responses that you learned in the dojo-they simply won't work in a real-life encounter, Street Lethal confronts this problem by both outlining the principles for a realistic self-defense system and taking a controversial look at the current state of martial arts in America.

Sammy Franco argues that traditional martial arts are locked into ancient styles and forms and have lost their effectiveness as combat systems. In response to this, he has founded Contemporary Fighting Arts, a hard-hitting system that goes tot the hear of a streetfighting situation and ends it quickly. Street Lethal is a provocative book on unarmed combat that every serious martial artist should read. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, photos, 192pp. $15.95

DA ZHIMINGDE
Striking Deadly Blows to Vital Organs
by Master Hei Long

Here, Master Hei Long details the anatomical locations and the physiological functions and vulnerabilities of these targets, as well as the most effective strikes and angles of force to be used on each and their practical application.

It is by design, not coincidence, that the targets of Da Zhimingde can be deadly. Theses are the areas you aim for when someone is seriously threatening your life. For academic study only. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, illus., 200pp. $15.00

GUGE CONGJI
Seven Primary Targets to Take Anyone Out of a Fight
by Master Hei Long
Structurally disabling an opponent is like removing the bullets from his gun. It is unlikely that he can throw a punch at you with a broken wrist or elbow, and his ability to advance is substantially inhibited by a busted knee or ankle. That is the principle of guge gongji: stopping an attacker by breaking his instrument of danger. In unarmed combat, that means his ability to move and strike.

Guge gongji is an alternative to killing, a second-to-last resort that should be used only when conventional self-defense tactics are likely to be ineffective. Master Hei Long's precise instructions and illustrations show you how to use your opponent's body as your weapon. Learn the seven primary targets guaranteed to take anyone out of a fight. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, illus., 188pp. ISBN 0-87364-635-5 $15.00

SAFE IN THE STREET(VIDEO)
How to Recognize and Avoid Violent Street Crime
with Marc "Animal" MacYoung

But there are definite danger signals that precede the other 90 percent, and this video will teach you how to recognize them prior to an attack so you can avoid becoming the latest victim of violent street crime.

Because the criminal's goal is immediate victory at little personal risk, he will select victims who appear safe to attack. This video will show you how your attitude and actions can convey that attacking you is not a safe bet. You'll learn the three stages of an impending attack and the appropriate reaction to each. Plus, discover the many ways criminals will "interview" you to determine your vulnerability to attack and how to best respond to avoid being considered a potential victim.

FLOOR FIGHTING
Stompings, Maimings, and Other Things to Avoid When a Fight Goes to the Ground
by Marc "Animal" MacYoung
Anyone who's ever been in or seen a real fight or two knows that, more than likely, it will end up with the participants rolling around on the ground.

The idea of winning a fight that has gone to the ground has little to do with putting your opponent in some kind of "hold" and more with maiming him so badly that you can get up quicker than he can. Animal discusses how to fall without damaging yourself, how to slam your opponent down with the most devastating result, how to take somebody down who's trying to stomp you from above, the quickest ways to hurt someone once you're both on the ground and your two options once you are back on your feet-getting out of there or kicking the shit out of your downed attacker! 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, photos, illus., 200pp. $19.00

FISTS, WITS, AND A WICKED RIGHT
Surviving on the Wild Side of the Street
by Marc "Animal" MacYoung
One thing Marc "Animal" MacYoung does not pretend to be is a traditionalist. As he puts it in this companion to Cheap Shots, Ambushes, and Other Lessons, "It's awareness, or wits, and fists that will keep you safe out there, not some fancy Oriental fighting form."

Here Animal focuses on the fine points and brutal technicalities of blows and targeting-not just how to hit but where to hit. Because the fact is, the key to winning a fight is not necessarily to hit faster, or even harder, but to do damage to the other guy before he can do it to you. On the flip side, once you know what hurts, you'll know how to protect your most vulnerable areas with a littler more gusto. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, illus., 152pp. $14.00
