Silat for the Street
Renowned silat instructor Burton Richardson, who has cross-trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kali, jeet kune do and muay Thai, reveals what his knowledge of those systems and MMA helped him identify as the best silat tactics and techniques for modern self-defense. His Silat for the Street breaks down fights into various sections to make them more readily understandable. They include the following: * Footwork -- These movement patterns will give you the advantage when you need to attack an opponent. * Entries -- They will enable you to safely and dynamically enter into close quarters, where you can fire your weapons or execute a takedown. * Clinch positions -- These inside control positions will permit you to trap your opponent's arms, neck or body while minimizing your chance of being hit. * Takedowns -- These moves offer a variety of methods for getting an opponent on the ground, all of which are explained in detail. * Ground fighting -- This part of silat enables you to quickly dispatch an opponent if you end up on the ground. * Sarong tactics -- This section demonstrates how you can use a towel or jacket as a makeshift weapon of self-defense.
Choke 'em Out
Why learn chokes? A martial artist or street fighter who believes that he can survive solely on powerful punches and kicks may be in for a rude awakening when the fight ends up in a clinch on the concrete--where knockout power is tougher to generate--or the attacker turns out to be high as a kite, crazed and immune even to the pain of broken bones. Simply put, when striking isn't working, you need to be able to go to the one sure fight ender: the choke. Author Burton Richardson's broad experience in the martial arts includes instructor's credentials in Jeet Kune Do Concepts, Filipino kali (under Guro Dan Inosanto) and Kali Ilustrisimo, as well as a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In this incredibly detailed volume filled with hundreds of step-by-step photos, he gives you the best techniques he knows for ending fights quickly by demonstrating a wide variety of quick and effective chokes. When you need to knock the fight out of someone fast, these chokes will become your go-to moves.
Jeet Kune Do Unlimited
One of the ideas of Bruce Lee's jeet kune do concept is to look beyond the individual styles of martial arts to grasp the concepts that bind all martial systems.

Illustrated with hundreds of photographs, the book features pictorial demonstrations of how these concepts can be applied in self-defense. This is not a book about a particular system, but about how the individual martial artist can practice more efficiently and with greater understanding.
Jeet Kune Do Unlimited
A key element of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do was to look beyond the individual martial arts' styles to grasp the concepts that bind all martial systems.

With his extensive training in martial arts from around the world including the USA, the Philippines, Japan, China, Hawaii, Brazil, Africa and Europe, Burton breaks down the martial arts realm into the five categories of: ranges, postures, attributes, techniques and training. Starting with philosophy and tactics, he gives a detailed explanation of the five categories and concludes by showing how these concepts can be applied. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs, the book features demonstrations of how these concepts can be applied in self-defense. This is not a book about a particular system, but about how the individual martial artist can practice more efficiently and with greater understanding.

It is Peter's job to deter the all too real police detectives who are after Max. And, if that's not enough, Peter is neck-deep in a secret relationship with the daughter of Max's worst enemy."
