USA Best Book Awards Finalist - USA Book News This book was written
to address an important gap that exists in martial arts training.
The gap is the space or dirty ground that lives between sport and
combat techniques; that is when you need to control a person
without severely injuring him (or her). Techniques in this space
are called 'drunkle', named after your drunken uncle at the family
gathering who needs to be escorted away before he hurts somebody or
vice versa. This space reveals itself all too often when friends,
family, good Samaritans, crime watchers, and certain types of
muggings or robberies get physical. Understand that using the Iron
Hammer Fist Punch you learned in karate class will probably put
your uncle in the hospital; make your friend your enemy for life;
or give the thug, who 'only' wanted your wallet, a chance to sue
you for all you're worth. This is not to be taken lightly since you
will probably get thrown in jail for excessive force. Know the
three environments: SPORT, DRUNKLE, and COMBAT. Understanding these
three environments is vital because what is considered appropriate
use of force is codified in law, yet interpreted in the public
arena, and actions that do not accommodate these rules can have
severe repercussions. Martial art techniques must be adapted to
best fit the situation you find yourself in. This book is style
agnostic. The author's analyze 30 fundamental strikes, kicks and
locks, and present 12 well-known sport competition forms modified
for each of the three vital environments: SPORT, DRUNKLE, and
COMBAT. Be smart. Know how to adapt to a situation.
