Secrets of Effective Offense by Marc Macyoung
An intense martial arts primer with a concentration on techniques of offence, strategy, and pre-emption, rather than defence and reaction. There are many self-defence books on the market, all of which stress reaction in the face of an attacker's aggression, and few of which are not hampered by invalid assumptions derived from carefully constrained martial sports. The emphasis is overwhelmingly on reactive technique, rather than proactive strategy. But, as any football fan knows, most often the best defence is a strong, unpredictable offence. With a slavish dedication to the wrong training paradigm and unrealistic goals and attitudes, a fighter who suddenly faces the fight of his life has to make a complete shift, or fail. The truth is, it's usually too late - on the street, in particular, but also in the ring. Reaction time is seldom as fast as the time it takes to attack.
Marc MacYoung is an internationally renowned personal safety instructor, who travels throughout Europe, North America, and Asia presenting seminars. He is the author of several books on the subject.
