This is the best knife book ever. - Keith Jennings of Chicago Combatives No one out there is on Hock's bandwidth. No one. Hock's fighting skills and experience are obvious. But what is just as impressive is how he has taken a large body of practical combat knowledge and organized it. Hock provides the progression and structure that is missing from most fighting systems. And Hock doesn't just train you physically for survival, he trains you mentally as well. He probably has the best courses on the planet. - Mike Gillette - Homeland Security Consultant, former United Airlines and other commercial airlines Defensive Tactics Program Director, Former Police Chief, Training Director National Law Enforcement and Security Institute, Former U.S. Army Airborne, Former SWAT Commander, Former project manager, Institute for Security Services at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Geordie Lavers-McBain of the Gold Coast, Australia says: I love this book, I own over 1,000 martial arts and combat books and this is one of the best books I have read! I constantly use this as a reference as well as Hock's book on Impact Weapons! I just hope one day he writes a textbook on his unarmed and his gun knowledge! I've got a lot of books and this is THE standard reference on this subject. I've sought out some obscure titles and gleaned a couple of good nuggets of info from them but there's nothing else even close to the sheer amount of information contained here. Working through this material thoroughly plus the resulting experimentation would give many years of productive training. Just an outstanding piece of work. - Jethro Randolph of the United Kingdom says: I've got a decent library of such books, but this is the most comprehensive, detailed, informative and enjoyable that I own by a large margin, and I even got it signed by the man himself. - Tyler Hall, Meridian Mississippi says
