Re: geoff thompson:watch my back
correct philosophy i imagine but if you hit them as hard as you can and they're still standing and not looking phased then i imagine you'd cack yourself lolAndypittcov wrote:Haha I know mate 350 street fights unbeaten I believe but most of them didn't get started,his whole philosophy was hit first and hit hard.lefty wrote:yeah i was only introduced to it very recently,Damn he had alot of fights!lolAndypittcov wrote:Yeah bought it and read it the day it came out,roughly 10 years ago,great book from a great writer and arguably the worlds best self-defense/martial arts instructor.

I wouldn't have thought there were 350 people mad enough, even in Coventry, to have a go with him. To be honest he looks a right lunatic in his younger days. His book 'Dead or Alive' is a better read with prime advice, tactics and no bravado. No doubt he is an expert in aggro.

His latest book Warrior is maybe his best to date,you should give it a go if you liked elephant and the twig,all about self-sovereignty and living the warrior lifestyle which has got eff all to do with voilence which some people will struggle to understand.

Re: geoff thompson:watch my back
This guys a little different mate, trust me. He's a self confessed softie who admits he got lucky a lot of times. He never once blows his own trumpet- and bearing in mind most of the guys he was dealing with were pissed up idiots, while he was a smart, and well trained martial artist no wonder he didn't get beaten up.hurlock wrote:never a fan of self publict's on being hard men.
