Street Safe: How to Recognize And Avoid Violent Crime Before It
Happens (DVD)
Marc MacYoung
A criminal assault is fast, vicious and
overwhelming. And that's why criminals
attack that way. It ensures their success.
What you may not know is that it takes time
to develop these conditions. This makes the
street thug predictable. There are definite
danger signs that precede criminal attacks.
This video will teach you how to recognize
those signs so you can take nonviolent steps
to prevent the criminal from attacking.
And if the situation does turn violent, you
will learn how to articulate to the police
and courts important details about the
situation -- and why you reacted the
way you did.

Cheap Shots, Ambushes and Other Lessons: A Down and Dirty Book
on Streetfighting and Survival
Marc MacYoung
Before the popularity of reality based self-defense, there was
this book. The first book Marc MacYoung, fresh off the streets of
Los Angeles, ever penned. Outrageous, raunchy, down and dirty, it is
loaded with information about what it takes to get out of the street
lifestyle. Cheap Shots was described by Iron Horse
Magazine as "like pulling up a chair and a six pack with an old
friend. A very twisted and dangerous old friend." This book
pioneered the genre of former street fighters explaining what it
takes to survive.
This book isn't going to tell you how to break
heads or fracture jaws. What it will give you is the
signs of the street culture that will allow you to
avoid a potential trip to the hospital. Himself a
one-time denizen of the streets, Marc MacYoung gives
sage advice from his knowledge and keen observations
of "street culture." He also passes on tricks of the
trade from other professionals who deal with
violence on a daily basis.

Secrets of Effective Offense: Survival Strategies
for Self-Defense, Martial Arts and Law Enforcement
Marc MacYoung
The floor isn't where you want to be ... but if a fight
goes to the ground, you need to be prepared for ugly
consequences. That's the issue addressed by Marc MacYoung in
this book. Floor fighting does not mean putting your opponent in
some kind of "hold" and lying there, waiting to be kicked by his
friends. That's what submission fighting will get you if you try
to apply it in a street brawl. Understanding the difference
between "grappling" and floor work will determine if you get out
with a few bruises and scratches or major life-threatening
injuries.

When the sickening realization comes that you are

run fiercely. And this books tells you how to survive that terrible
moment. Long-term survival isn't a matter of clashing head-on with
every problem that comes along. It's knowing when to be hard and
when to be soft; when to run with the ferocity of a wolf and then
turn and strike when you have the upper hand again.
