Budovideos.com - Science of Takedowns, Throws, & Grappling Book by Martina Sprague

The odds are, if you�re attacked on the street you will have to defend yourself against a bigger, stronger assailant. When this happens, strength alone will not be enough to stop your attacker. The Science of Takedowns, Throws and Grappling for Self-defense addresses the concepts and, more importantly, the mindset required to survive an encounter with a larger attacker.

Martina Sprague, author of the top selling book Fighting Science, does more than show you what type of throws, takedowns, locks and presses work on the street. Learn why some techniques are more likely to get you into trouble than out of it, how to apply concepts like timing and positioning to make your techniques even more effective, how to defend against common attacks with a weapon and what you can do to use that weapon in your favor, which mistakes are the most common and how you can prevent them from weakening your defense, and much more. With over 300 photos, you won�t find a more detailed, scientific look at takedowns, throws and grappling techniques specifically for self-defense.

Sprague does a good job of explaining the physics and physiology behind takedowns and jointlocks. Also included are drills and review questions, which serve as good learning aids. However, I found the text itself very dry and hard to read.
