I have recently revised all 3 books into two A4 sized manuals, in which I have included updated material, additional text and clearer photos. I have of course stayed with what I believe to be important that being the need to chip away at the unessentials as Bruce Lee once said.

The revision is not about an accumulation of material as we all know the importance of a compressed curriculum. I just feel that I have grown both as a writer and a student since I wrote those books and would like to give a piece of that to the people I care about.

I have also just had the great fortune to sign a contract with Hodder & Stoughton for the release of a publication relating to my previous employ of door security work.

It appears that since the new SIA legislation has come into play that there is a need for a workable text that takes into account the SIA's perspective along with the opinion of those who have actually done the job and the some what controversial result of that experience.

It will be a little different to my first effort up Close, Nothing Personal though equally as honest. It will offer a lot of input from a lot of veteran door people and will obviously conflict at times with what has been laid down as guide lines by the current governing body.

But I have been given a degree of freedom to write it as I personally find it and it is in no way intended as a know all or how to manual just an offering that will provoke honest thought and opinion. I will do my best to do it justice and it will be available next year.

Once again I thank you all for your support and will continue to strive for our mutual development and a place amongst my peers.

"Hey guys --

For those of you who haven't yet bought Lee's 3-part series of training manuals, I can't recommend them highly enough.

These books are brilliant distillations of just what you need to know to train in real world combatives -- and not one thing more. That is a real test of writing and instructional ability -- to distill just what is necessary and useful, and nothing more. Lee does an absolutely first rate job of this.

The books are intelligently organized with good logical flow to the evolution of the material, well written and clear and with useful illustrations throughout. These books are designed as training tools -- they are spiral bound so they can stay open for reference while training (I have them next to my new BOB!) a very nice touch.

Lee is, in addition to being a formidable practitioner, a gifted instructor and that gift shines in these books. I look forward to seeing his upcoming revision, whenever that comes about. I think these are must have texts for anyone actively training in combatives or reality-based self defense.

You can buy them through Lee's website at www.urbancombatives.com, and they are quite reasonably priced.

Check them out, highly recommended!"

cheers, Marcus Wynne

"I haven't got the 3 series urban combative books yet, although I fully intend to.

I did however get a signed copy of "Up Close, Nothing Personal" from Southampton 's Waterstones. They still have several copies on their shelves if anyone else is interested.

Another highly recommended book from Lee.

I do have Lee's 3 books on combatives and they are worthy.
I evan bind them together in black hardcover with golden title and now looks like The Bible and I put it on same spot as the Bible just above my head in sleeping room.

In those 3 volumes there is much more than everyone needs for the first time. It is very much like instructor reading. This is the book that has to be readed more than once, because every time you get something new from it.

If anybody still asks himself to buy or not buy than I have to say that "U must buy it" "

Enjoy

"I have bought the first book of the series,i think it is absolutely brilliant,i'm definately asking santa for the other two."

Thanks KB.

"Agree 100 % with Marcus, Lee's maunuals form a thorough but concise, no nonsense combatives syllabus. I certainly regard them as a must have resource that I return to again and again. "

Cheers,

"As I think I have said before, on seminars I always bring a selection of books which are recommended for students of combatives. Rather than give the guys a list, I let them see the books, flip through them, then they can make up their own mind.
On the "Hard Skills" program the selection includes ALL IN FIGHTING, KILL OR GET KILLED, COLD STEEL , US NAVY V-5 and Lee's series.
The three books build into a really comprehensive study of combatives, by a guy who knows what to include and what to discard.
When they are not in my seminar bag, Lee's books are by my desk, for frequent reference"..
