I bought this book, not because I want to go out on the streets and beat people up but because in my declining years I’m making a last-ditch effort to get fit and keep fit. So how does street-fighting help with that? After years spent researching, testing and abandoning a wide range of fitness programmes, I’ve found that one of the most effective ways to get fit is to train to fight. To train like a boxer preparing for a world championship fight. To fight effectively, strength and speed are important but they’re not enough. You also need suppleness, mobility, explosive power and mental discipline. All of these are as important for a healthy old age as they are for taking on a burglar or a knife-wielding thug. I’ve not been involved in a fight since the day I left school in 1979 and I hope that that scuffle will remain the last time I have to defend myself, but I’m finding that the kind of workout needed to benefit from this book is helping me lose weight, sleep better and feel more energetic when I’m awake. That workout is pretty simple: press ups, squats, deadlifts, planks, skipping and a heavy punchbag, along with regular bending and stretching. My lower back pain has gone, along with my sciatica, incipient arthritis in my fingers, knee pain and shoulder pain.
The book itself is an easy read. You can skim through it in a day but to benefit fully from it will take months, if not years, of serious training. Ideally you need a partner to spar with, but you don’t need much equipment – a yoga mat can be helpful for falling and ground fighting, though a patch of grass would also do. Be aware that this book contains techniques that could kill or seriously maim another human being, so they should only be used in cases of dire necessity. Even then the golden rule is only use sufficient force to enable yourself to escape or avoid being hurt. If that’s the golden rule, the platinum rule is that for self-defence your most important weapons are your tongue and your feet. Your tongue to talk your way out of trouble and de-escalate risky situations. Your feet to run as fast and as far as possible to avoid violence. However, if all else fails, this book is a potential life saver. Used wisely it shows how to defend yourself from attack and disable one or more assailants so you can live another day. It covers all kinds of scenarios: multiple attackers, use of weapons, fighting on the ground and using the environment to protect yourself or disable your assailant.
The author has a website and app with various training plans available on a subscription basis. He also has books on parkour, mountain biking and swimming. Some of the material is free but the author has to make a living so the subscriptions are reasonable if you make good use of the training.
Back to this book. The techniques set out here can work for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness and mobility, regardless of age or gender. I would recommend it to anyone concerned about their personal safety who wants to be able to go about their business with a sense of assurance that they can handle the worst if the worst ever happens. I would also recommend it to anyone seeking some kind of practical motivation to get fit and stay fit.

Great pics and examples and directions

Although I find some of the techniques in the book useless, most of em are very useful. I'm happy that somebody took the time to write a book on how to street fight cause truthfully street fighting techniques is all you need to know when it comes to self defense. I highly recommend this book to any novice who wants to learn how to fight.

I've been into martial arts/mma for a while and I saw this on the SurviveTravel.com website so thought I'd check it out.

It's pretty good. From the content, it seems this guy has taken his knowledge from different styles of martial arts/self defense (I noticed some things borrowed from MMA) and created his own kind of style. But it's not really a style of martial art.. its more of a formula to street fighting. And its a pretty simple formula which is good.

Everything is explained very clearly and has nice clear hand drawn sketches. Its well written with a good clean format.

I enjoyed it and will be checking out some of his other books.

A few years ago I took up Karate hoping it would somehow give me the confidence to be able to look after myself if I ever got in to a volatile situation, unfortunately while it was interesting, it never really gave me any reason to believe it would be of much use if I was called on to protect myself

Sam Fury gives it to you straight, we don’t live in a pretty world so when a fight breaks out you are going to be glad you learned some of the techniques and strategies he writes about, combined with basic illustrations it really does offer a well thought out way of learning to defending yourself
