Street Stoppers: The Martial Arts' Most Devastating Trips Sweeps and Throws for Real Fighting. By Mark Mireles and Loren W. Christensen.
Mark Mireles and Loren W. Christensen's, Street Stoppers, provides a unique view on how to use trips, sweeps, and throws in real world situations. As a law enforcement officer and a martial arts practitioner, I know the difference between techniques that work in the gym and those that are applicable in street encounters. In Street Stoppers, Mireles ... Read More

This is the "right stuff" from two great warriors and martial artists, who focus their skills and credentials, like a laser beam, on an important topic that has not been well covered before.
These two authors are decorated combat veterans with a lifetime of extensive, daily action, as only career police officers can know.
Mark Mireles is a two-time recipient of the LAPD Medal of Honor. And in Loren Christensen's case, his career as a highly decorated cop is combined with his combat ... Read More

A case of false advertising? I believe that the contents of the book do not match the title. Being a martial artist who is noted for his use of trips and sweeps I found this book disappointing. The book consists of 40 to 50 throw/sweep/trip techniques. Of these, maybe a dozen would be of use for the average martial artist. I doubt that the authors have used even half of them in real life situations. There are also 21 combinations provided, again most of little use to the average reader. Most would be ... Read More

Many martial arts books really aren't that great. The pictures suck, the explanation is unclear/boring, techniques are overrated, they trash other styles etc. Street Stoppers is completely different. The pictures are great, but the authors don't just rely on photograpgy- the explanations are clear without a lot of unusual terms or going into mind-numbing details. As for the techniques, the few I've used in my dojo so far have worked right pretty much right off the bat, which is the point of picking up ... Read More

I liked the book! Good pictures. Clear instructions. Easy to grasp the intention of the techniques and good division into sequences makes it easy to practise as well.
Readers should be familiar with judo though since it in my opinion is based on judo techniques transferred to the street. For max effect I would combine this book with e.g. krav maga techniques since you cannot rely solely on take downs. The "enemy" just won't lie still just because you say so. So, for good application of judo techniques ... Read More
