Street Stoppers is your guide to the martial arts' most devastating trips, sweeps and throws. Mark Mireles has combined his knowledge of wrestling and jujitsu with his many years of experience as a member of the LAPD to put together this collection of street effective takedowns that will stop an attacker cold. Together with veteran cop, author and martial artist Loren W. Christensen, Mark takes you step by step through each technique and shows you exactly how to apply it when your life depends on it.

situations. Mark and Loren also include 21 combination techniques so you'll always have a Plan B to fall back on.
And throughout the book you'll get inside tips on choosing the right technique, gaining the upper hand over your assailant, avoiding injuries and ending a fight quickly.
Because this book is written by 2 expert martial artists who have decades of experience subduing criminals on some of America's meanest streets, you can rest assured that you're getting proven techniques that work.
