Master's Death Touch : Unarmed Killing Techniques

Rating:
Summary: Not Suggested Reading Material
Review: I must say, that out of my many years of training in martialarts, I have learned many techniques of killing. This book containsseveral more. I have trained in martial arts most of my life and have learned over 200 ways to kill a man with my bare hands, but, when I opened the cover of this book I was honestly disgusted. When you take this material in to serious concideration it is not a pleasant thought. If you want to learn to defend yourself, then buy the U.S. Marines Close-Quarters Combat Manual, but please, do not buy this book.

Summary: some good-some not.
Review: My impression is that the tecniques described in this book gets more and more complex during each turn of the pages, chiefly because of the need to get enough material for a book.

The last technique for example:
The victim gets a couple of subduing strikes, thereafter a shuto to each of the collarbones, then cross your arms, grasp the shoulder of your victim and pull the supposedly broken collarbones into the Pulmonary/circulatory system...then if victim still stands upright, a elbow to the temple concludes..
overly complex?? naah..


Still, for the person who wants to learn how to execute fast and efficient, this book do have some good ones..
I feel however that in order to sort them out, one must have prior experience/knowledge...this is not the first book on this subject that should be read, but rather the tenth..
Also, please understand that this is not the tecniques you learn in your local dojo, this is more connected to the world of military CQB..many people thing they are "lethal weapons" just because they have a black belt in a martial art...that is just not true..but you need some experience from both worlds to pick the goodies, discard the inferior stuff, and understand this book.
in all:
10% of the pages are really good...
