Anatomy of Fear


Does anyone know any other good writers for Self Defence training?

Geoff Thompson, is probably in Europe the longest serving
authority on real self defence and how to train for it.
both for the mental & physical parts.

www.geoffthompson.com

plus his forum , you have some of the top SD instructors in
the world posting, and you can interact and ask them questions.
alot of these guys are active in special military stuff, door work
and bodyguarding work.

there are plenty others like www.senshido.com www.urbancombatives.com(one of my favs) , and www.sammyfranco.com

Mick Coup a UK SD expert and instructor to Baggio also posts on here,
and he has some in depth articles on geoffs site.

I like Geoffs site and the people who post on there, the Yanks are great too,
but ya know the Americans, sometimes mutton does the job, but they still dress in up as lamb...LOL!!!

Thanks for those, I'll check them out. Yeah I know what you mean about the Americans, they do seem to get a wee bit worked up about this stuff. But they do come up with some great concepts and ideas.

Baggio...

Thanks for posting those great articles – Very informative.

Here is are a few names you might find interesting:
As Mill said, Mick Coup. Mick has some really great info out there, that's one of the main reasons that I started going over to the UK for tuition. Most of his material is on the Geoff Thompson forum (Which Mill has already mentioned). Just do a search for “Mick Coup” He's also got some great articles in “Martial Arts Illustrated” at the mo', if you by mags.

Another guy well worth checking out is “Carl Cestari”. He's got some very cool articles out there. Just do a search on Google. He had loads of stuff in Gutterfighting.org – but it seems to have gone for some weird reason.

Mill's already mentioned Urbancombatives that's a great site. And there are loads of guys posting stuff there.

Here's Dave walmsey's site – Canadian Combato. He's got a few articles worth looking at.

That should keep you going for a bit!:)

Cheers,

Baggio.
