Negative Positive
Title: far from convincing or realistic
Review: This book is another yet reformulation and compilation of various systems' knowledge geared to the current market and desires. A little analysis of the techniques depicted shows them to be as dangerous (to the executor, not the assailant) as the "bad" techniques or interpretationns he criticises. So it's dangerous for those who don't know anything about martial arts, and useless for those who do know something. While it's an ingenious and alluring idea/system he proposes, and although I'm sure Dillman himself is a dangerous man, this book looks like being part of a commercial enterprise rather than a useful technical manual.
