If you wonder what you can learn about knife use on the streets--from a book written thirty years ago-- the answer is: a lot more than you can from a traditional martial art from another culture. What you'll face is far more complex than the drills you practice in the martial arts school. Knives, Knife Fighting and Related Hassles fills in those gaps.The author approaches the subject from a street perspective and writes about the problems you'll face over knives--from both sides of the law. Have you ever been attacked with knives? Stood on a street corner, handcuffed, while the police look for a reason to make an arrest for the knife you were carrying? This was a very real part of the author's life. This book will open your eyes to the realities of knives that you'll never hear in the academy, but will keep you out of prison or the cemetery.
