Hi JK!
I've only read one of the "Animal's" books, "Taking it to the Streets", which was very good ...and VERY similiar to Mr. Quinn's books, except Mr. Quinn's techniques are a bit simpler due to his belief that gross muscle movements are all you're going to be able to do in a sudden attack situation. Their concepts and philosophy about self defense are essentially identical.
If you're interested in self defense technique, read "A Bouncers Guide to Barroom Brawling", which is chalk full of technique, but if you're more interested in the physiology & psychology of being attacked, then "Real Fighting" would be a good choice. But be careful with that one, it's hard to read that one and
NOT end up dying to take the RMCAT course!
Regards,
