Animal Day: Pressure Testing the Martial Arts

Written with the intention of educating the reader in all aspects of "pressure testing" the martial arts to ensure that the technique and character fit when it really matters. This book aims to explode the myths about what does and what does not work in martial arts on today's dangerous streets.

Until the age of thirty Geoff Thompson had worked through a plethora of menial jobs, from glass collector to floor sweeper; he even spent a decade working as a nightclub bouncer. Convinced that there must be more to life than this, Geoff decided to become a martial arts instructor (polled as the number one self defence instructor in the world by Black Belt magazine USA) then followed this by living out his dream of becoming a writer. He is now the author of thirty-four books, five multi-award-winning films (two BAFTA nominated, one BAFTA winning), two stage plays and hundreds of published articles. Geoff's autobiography, Watch My Back, has been adapted into a major motion picture, Clubbed.
