Reviewer: Michael (Victoria AU, )

Although this book is comprehensive and covers many important areas, the topic in which it truly excels in is awareness. You may already have devastating moves and a good level of awareness but I would still recommend this book even to seasoned street fighters, because I honestly believe you will still gain real insights and tactics from the ideas presented here, showing you the way to hone your awareness and intuition to extremely high levels. Informative and a joy to read.

Reviewer: Bruce (Florida, )

I have many books on self defense but When Seconds Count is by far the best. Explanations well done. To me, this was even better than War Machine. I would give it a 5 Plus, if it were possible!

Reviewer: Genocyde (DeQuincy, LA, )

When Seconds Count is THE companion to your Reality-Based Self-Defense Studies. When Seconds Count succeeds where most other traditional martial arts systems fails by explaining the legal aspect of self-defense.
Also contained within the book are several workbook-style exercises (I recommend getting a notebook for completing those assignments) which prepare you mentally for situations where your judgment may need sharpening and forewarned...is forearmed.
You're not going to get a bunch of fancy-schmancy B.S. about chi flow or terms you're not going to understand...it's all in terms you'll comprehend and understand and, if purchased alongside The Street Fighter Package DVD series, you'll find your confidence in your judgment and abilities skyrockets.
Note: The information contained within this book truly does make it Everyone's Guide To Self-Defense. Once purchased, you'll see that there are no false claims here that you're going to become a ninja or the equivalent of some spec-op soldier. What you will find is honest, hard-hitting and applicable in the immediate sense. Since getting this book, my insight into the world of Reality-Based Self-Defense has grown exponentially. I honestly think that this book will arm you with the knowledge needed to get your training in order.

This book probably taught me more about true defensive awareness and the realities of the street more than all other sources I've seen combined! I would recommend it to ANYONE and EVERYONE! You NEED to KNOW what is out there and how to deal with such situations! Be prepared, get this book!!!

This book exceeded by expectations. Anyone can appreciate the information in the book. Not just about the fight itself. Excellent content showing how to diffuse a potentially dangerous situation and how to be ready for such a situation whenever it may arise. The section on awareness is particularly useful.
