Wow! I can't believe Mr. Franco took the chance to write street self defense for the small man. I can say that this was the best moment for short people like me to learn self defense against taller people. Thank you Mr. Franco!

It could be certainly the best book on this subject...and it's the only one! But after studying this book, who needs another? Contains: analysis of the problems, training scenarios and even physical training advice.
You need to read this book!

Reviewer: Lee (Maryland, )

As its title suggests, this book directly address the all but certain reality of being physically outmatched in a self-defense situation. As the author points out in his introduction, this crucial topic is all but ignored in the world of self-defense, until now. In more than just a simple

The first and only book for us small guys. I was skeptical about the question and answer style i read in reviews-but its great. You might be thinking but it's a book! Stop wasting time and order. Mr. Franco spells it all out. Mental as well as physical training is covered to overcome fear of fighting larger stronger opponents. Thank you for taking the time to address the issues in this book.

Reviewer: Hammad (Germantown, MD, )

Unlike in boxing, wrestling, or virtually any other combative sport, there are no weight classes on the streets, and there is a very real possibility that you may one day face an opponent who is much larger than stronger than you are. Mr. Franco expertly addresses the issue of fighting a David vs. Goliath battle in his book, The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall, outlining the unique characteristics of fighting a larger opponent and describing the skills and attributes you need to come out the victor in such a confrontation. What is unique about this book is it is primary written in a Question and Answer format, which makes reading and digesting the material easier because the information is partitioned in discrete yet related parts and the almost conversational format makes recalling the material much easier. You can't go wrong with this book, 5 stars!
