      Preface

      This book is an attempt to distill the most effective self-defense methods for the street that a mixed martial artist would need to use outside of the ring. After over ten years of training and competing, primarily in Jeet Kune Do, I’m reminded time and again of how the simplest solution is usually the best solution. I discovered Jeet Kune Do a couple of years after watching the first UFC in 1993. Like many others during that time, I felt that mixed martial arts was the answer to my quest for a complete, true fighting art. Accordingly, I searched for a school that taught striking and grappling arts under the umbrella of mixed martial arts. What I discovered in Jeet Kune Do was everything that I was looking for and more.

      I learned all the different forms of fighting that I would need for the ring but furthermore; I learned all of the fighting techniques I would need for the street. Now, to be sure, the techniques you learn in boxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (and other arts like them) can serve you as well in a self-defense situation as they do in the ring, but it’s as a result of a mental shift that needs to takes place. The mental shift in a self-defense streetfighting situation occurs as soon as you understand that, unlike in the ring, there are no rules in the streets. You apply combative techniques in the streets that you would not be able to do in the ring in a brutal, quick, and efficient manner.

      Throughout the world, people train for a variety of reasons. For many, streetfighting self-defense is not their main reason to train. Yet a martial artist with a solid foundation in their techniques, good health, sharp attributes and a confident mind can adapt to the streetfighting scenario. Once a fighter senses that their life is in danger, they respond with “dirty” techniques as well as the techniques they’ve used in
