Ned Beaumont

from cover

In a street fight or barroom brawl, the chances are slim that one of the combatants will use one of those Hollywood-fantasy kung fu kicks or somersaulting flying-scissors take-downs. Let's get real.

In Championship Streetfighting, Ned Beaumont, a seasoned and savvy street fighter who routinely takes out opponents who make the mistake of trying to use karate, jujutsu, taekwon do, and other Asian martial arts, personally trains you in what has proven to be one of the mose effective fightng arts ever unleashed on society-boxing. This graphic manual is the first practical book to debunk the many myths associated with what this veteran boxer shows to be painful, even fatal fighting philosophies and techniques practiced by so many 'strip mall karatekas' and bone-breaking hooks and knock-out power punching techniques used with such brutal efficiency by the greatest boxers of all time-Dempsey, Frazier, Suliivan, Ali, Patterson-and see how to use them in the street where you may be fighting for your life.

From the insidious shovel hook, clever shift, and classic left jab to viciious combinations and back-alley dirty tricks, boxing skills transported to streetfighting are the real deal.

The next time Mr. Karate Man tries to kick you in the leg, just punch him in the face and watch what happens. He'll be on the pavement faster than you can say intensive care.
