This book is the product of over forty years of study on the part of the author. It was written with the hope that people will be able to defend themselves and others. Written in it are grappling and striking techniques with the premise of teaching a small man to fight well, and a big man to fight with finesse and less on his brute strength. He believes that if a person knows how to finish a fight then they can choose not to maim or kill, whereas someone who does not know how cannot choose.
