Review: Interesting take on how to write fighting.

I picked this book up hoping to learn something I could learn to use in my own writing.  The author hit the mark and knew what he was talking about.  I had to agree with most of what he said, and I liked the example he gave at the end of the book.  My only real complaint was that he needed more examples.  That and in my martial arts experience I always did best in letting the other guy attack first, and I have known enough people to know that the norm is not always what happens (guy with a verified cracked skull keeps fighting on, smaller guy who likes to beat up big skilled fighters because he has top of the bell curve speed).  But all in all this was worth the price for the novice who has no knowledge of fighting and wants to make sure they are not writing laughable sight scenes.
