Hello JW!

...I read both of Peyton Quinn's book before I took the course ("Real Fighting" & "A Bouncers Guide to Barroom Brawling", You can get *BOTH* these books from Amazon for about $30), they're really an eye opener! I've incorporated info from both books into the aikido classes I teach, which is easy to do, since Mr. Quinn utilizes many aikido moves in his defenses. (He also speaks very highly of aikido throughout the books!) ...After reading "Real Fighting: Adrenalijne Stress Conditioning Through Senario Based Training" I was convinced I needed to give his course a try! ...which took quite a bit of convincing with a $1,000 price tag! The book is very infomative on the adrenal dump and it's effects on the body and your ability (...or lack there of) to defend yourself under it's effects. So, from an educational stand point, the book is great!

Regards,
