I'd have to say that this is THE definitive work on combat handgun techniques (also some shotgun stuff in there). At one time, it was Bill Jordan's "No Second Place Winner," but then Massad Ayoob came along. I don't think anyone has improved substantially on this work.
Some of the photos and assumptions are now a little dated, but the fundamental techniques and theories are still quite sound. Massad was the first, it seems, to look at how people shoot when the targets are shooting back. He teaches techniques that are simple, because they have to be when the shooter is under great stress. His techniques are designed to make the most out of the autonomic stress responses that the human body experiences in a fight. The information is presented in a concise, readable manner. The author does a little more boasting than is strictly necessary, but he's earned the right to do it.
Massad's book, "In the Gravest Extreme," tells you why and when you should shoot. This book tells you how. |

| While this book is primarily written with law enforcement training in mind, many of the points discussed are applicable to concealed handgun carriers or armed self-defense. Few people can aim and fire a weapon at a person as accurately and calmly as they do at a shooting range or on a hunting trip. This book explains how adrenaline and stress during a life or death confrontation interfere with your shooting ability and explains ways to make those reactions either work for you or be minimalized. It also explains ways to use cover while standing or squatting with the pistol without sacrificing control or aim. Hopefully this book is wasted money and none of us ever have to put it to the test. |

* I am a TRUE martial artist, meaning that I train in the ways of war. I was in the military during the Cold War, and served in combat, so I have a reason for that focus. I also survived some brutal streets that offered more consistent threat than I ever saw in Desert Storm or Bosnia. Additionally, I've also been a correctional officer and patrol cop, earning the rank of lieutenant and serving on special response teams.
* With all that in mind, I NEED books and vids that cover more than just punch-and-kick/ throw-and-grapple fighting. Massad Ayoob does an excellent job of not only presenting firearms info, but also of relating that info to the martial arts. He does not favor one traditional method of firearms application or other, but provides your with a complete scope that allows you to meet all threats with flexibility and assertiveness. Equally important, his MA insights make it clear that aikido (his apparently preferred art) and any other arts goes beyond far more than just hand-to-hand.
* In modern times, we need to focus on modern weapons that we will encounter on the streets or can carry on our person. Swords and spears don't fit that criteria... making Stressfire and such books all the more important for the modern MA man. |
