This tongue-in-cheek exploration of the deadly and mysterious Delayed Death Touch nonetheless contains some serious techniques easily applicable for self-defense.
"If you grew up anywhere near a comic book spinner rack in the 1970s or '80s, you already know the voice I'm doing right now. You've seen the ad. Some hollow-eyed man in a gi, fist cocked, boasting about how he was crowned "The Deadliest Man Alive" by a shadowy federation, offering to sell you, for the price of a movie ticket, the SECRET FIGHTING SECRETS that would let a ninety-eight-pound weakling reduce a mugger to a heap using nothing but a two-inch punch and the will to win."
"I am prepared to tell you the truth. And the truth, as usual, is stranger and better than the lie."
Before there was a Count Dante, before there was a comic book ad, before an American teenager ever paid two dollars for a mimeographed pamphlet promising him the fists of a dragon, there was southern China, and there were men who had genuinely spent their lives figuring out how the human body breaks.
They developed not only the methods to kill, but also to heal. Jigaro Kano founded the Kodokan in 1882, building on jujutsu schools that never separated striking and grappling from the responsibility of reviving whoever you'd just choked unconscious or dropped with a vital point strike. Kuatsu is that resuscitation knowledge, written down in clinical, procedural language: specific manual techniques to restart normal breathing, methods to clear an airway, targeted stimulation to interrupt a dangerous physiological cascade after a hard strike or a strangle.
Likewise, all the other major systems incorporated both healing and deadly techniques based on the same examination and exploration.
Mike Frazier frequently "breaks the fourth wall" and speaks directly to the reader to point out certain relevant and pertinent aspects of the techniques and the comparison of the various sources from which they are drawn.
The techniques described in this book are intended solely for lawful self-defense, educational study, and supervised training. Martial arts training involves inherent risks of serious injury or death. Practice responsibly, use appropriate safety equipment, and train under qualified instruction whenever possible.
Mike Frazier has studied Eastern and Western styles of martial arts for more than 35 years, earning black belt ranks in karate, ninjutsu and jujutsu. He is a recognized master instructor with Shinja Martial Arts University and Dojo Academy of Martial Arts.
