### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely fantastic book for anyone interested in street combat reality.
*by J***E on July 6, 2021*

As someone who is in his very late 70s (but “I refuse to let the old guy out.”) with a back ground in numerous martial arts, Combatives and law enforcement tactics (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Boxing, Wrestling, Krav Maga and street Combatives, and numerous weapon arts) my passion for intense workouts is still strong. I am always on the lookout for old, new and unique books on self-defense, the martial arts, and combat fitness.One of my favorite authors has a number of books out and I recently finished reading this absolutely fantastic 136 page soft cover book (Surviving inside the killing zone: The essential tools you need to survive deadly combat by Ernest Emerson) which I purchased on Amazon. For those who do not know the author’s background, he is the founder and owner of Emerson knives of which I own several of these quality blades.Even though I have trained in many formal martial arts; nevertheless, my law enforcement background has always recognized the difference between sport and street combat techniques and principles. I love this book because it deals strictly with street fighting reality rather than make believe fighting where there are rules. Even though I am familiar with most of these principles the author emphasizes in this book; however, the material is presented and taught in a unique and no-nonsense way that makes it all appear fresh and new.This excellent book begins with a brief bio about the author and his ten commandments of a warrior. After a great introduction the seven chapters cover the following material:Education principles, training for combat, conditioning for combat, tactical awareness, the warrior mindset, goals, and capacity.The author has a number of books published and if you are seeking real life practical and effective advice on living and training like a combat wise warrior you may want to check out this book and the other volumes by this author.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tanto-Jutsu Techniques: An official manual of Bushi Satori Ryu).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A really good book however a little on the thin side
*by A***R on February 22, 2016*

I have been in Law Enforcement and have studied various martial arts over my lifetime, and when I read the preview for this book it fell right in line of various ideas/concepts that I was looking to build and re-enforce.The book was very good however my two complaints are: (1) it is a little on the thin side - although the book is technically 131 pages, the main portion is only 90 pages large font (the other 40 are excerpts from Emerson's other books); (2) if you have had any sort of training in Law Enforcement, Military, and/or "Combative" Martial Arts training - there is nothing really new to learn - IT IS a great refresher/reminder. I highly respect Ernest Emerson, his history, knife products, combative background, and ideals - and his 10 Commandments of a Warrior is probably the best part of the book...but this book "serves" best for individuals with no background as described.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely a must have for these times.
*by S***7 on August 24, 2020*

This book is filled with the kind of information that everyone needs to know. Just buy it, and you won't be dissapointed. But beware, this is the kind of information a person who is willing to do what is takes to survive applies to. Not the other kind
