Title: How did this book get good reviews?
Review: This book is full of great advice but the techniques themselves are lame. Taking a knife fight to a ground fighting situation on purpose is dumb. The aikido/jujitsu styled locks used to control the arm will only work if the attacker is not a trained fighter or is just weaker than you. For example in one of the techniques it requires you to hold the weapon hand with your lead hand & do a wrestler's leg pickup on the other without first injuring you opponent - imagine how strong you would have to be to pull this off. There is no way the majority of these techniques are going to work against a big grown man who is drunk or under the influence who is trying to cut you up. In short - his book is lame.
