Book Reviews of Far Beyond Defensive Tactics: Advanced Concepts, Techniques, Drills, and Tricks for Cops on the Street
Book Review: Great book; been out a while but still very relevant
Summary: 5 Stars
My understanding is that the author wrote this one shortly before his retirement from a distinguished law enforcement career, working primarily during his lunch hours. While it is primarily aimed at police officers, martial artists and those interested in practical self-defense can really benefit from these materials as well. The author's experience, sense of humor, and real-life adventures make it a quick, interesting read despite its 200 page length. His long experience training other officers really shines through.
You will learn how to stay safe patrolling (or simply walking) the streets, protect your weapon, deal with multiple attackers, handle stronger, larger opponents, and otherwise deal with deadly threats. It is especially good for law enforcement personnel who do not have a martial arts background. It is a bit more strategic than tactical yet I feel that hits just the right blend. There is an introduction to the "right demeanor" (which is reminiscent of Verbal Judo by George Thompson), a large section on control techniques, principles and concepts, and important insight into the nature of fighting. The various scenarios in the training section are truly excellent. The chapter on how to create a witness is really outstanding, though I do wish it was a bit longer.
Overall this is a great book!
