This books has saved me alot of pain and suffering.......2007-08-18

As an 18 year old Marine fighting full contact karate in Japan, I picked up a copy of this book looking to discredit it....I mean a guy named "Animal" c'mon...

But what I found was a great if rough read(Marc was just starting as an author then). This is a book by someone who has been there and done that(even the bad things) and was willing to share his life experience and sense of humor.

I learned how fast I was heading down the path to destruction and changed up.

I have since had the opportunity to train with Marc and I can assure you that he is the real deal and a really nice person.

Cheap Shots Yes, but One Hell of a Great Book!.......2007-03-19

Once again, Marc gives you a no-holds barred look at the reality of fighting and surviving on the street. This book is simply loaded with sound principles and easy to learn techniques for making the most of a bad situation. Marc spends a good deal of time discussing the principles behind the techniques and what to look for. I find this information on the principles behind the techniques very useful, and it is usually a very good indicator of a high quality self-defense and/or martial arts book.

Because of the limited amount of space I have to write and post this review, I am only going to hi-light just a few of the many interesting things in this particular book.

Introduction: It is painfully obvious that Marc has had some bad experiences with formal martial arts training and that is too bad. However, one must remember that, "One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch babe." I believe that is either an old parable, or a line from the Jackson 5, if I'm not mistaken. Or it may even be both.

The Foundation: Attitude or Spirit: This can also be summed up as your desire to do whatever you have to do in order to not only survive a violent encounter, but also to come out on top.

Fear and the negative voice in your head: In this section Marc discusses fear and the negative reinforcement training that we receive from the time we are able to crawl until the time you are put into a wooden box.

Difference between fighting and combat: Believe it or not, there is a difference between fighting and combat. Generally speaking, fighting is usually a combination of stupidity and hormones gone amuck. While combat is serious life and death. And yes, sometimes fighting can lead to combat.

Blows: In this section Marc discusses 4 different types of blows and what their designed or intended to do. They are as follows:

Set-ups: These can be (and do include) the boxers jab. These are designed to confuse and create an opening or openings on your opponent so that you can exploit them with heavier more dangerous blows.

Rattlers: These blows hit a little bit harder than an initial set-up blow and are designed to "rattle" the senses of your opponent.

Maimers: These are blows that are designed to do the most damage after initial contact with your opponent has been made. For example; a slap to the side of the head by an open hand that once it hits the head, reaches up and grabs a hold of the ear and rips it off the side of your skull.

N.N.B.R.: I have to chuckle every time I read about N.N.B.R.'s. Not that they are inherently funny, but what the acronym stands for is pretty hilarious. What these blows are designed to do is to put your lights out, nappy time, kissing the canvas, etc. They knock you out!

Punches: Although several good points are brought up in this section, the one that is perhaps the most important is this, "As fast as your punch goes out, it should be just as fast coming back in."

Kicks: Now before I get into the "nuts & bolts" of this section, I have to admit that the subject of kicking is a sore spot with me. Not in the sense of being against it, as a matter of fact it is quite the opposite, but as being totally in favor of kicking as a means of self-defense when the kick is executed correctly, and applied properly. This in itself can be the deciding factor between improving your chances of victory, or total humiliation with a smattering of pain thrown in for good measure.

Here are two important points to remember when reading this section.

a. For the most part, a lot of what Marc says about kicking is correct.
b. However, it is not the kick that is ineffective, but rather the improper application of the kick that is ineffective.

Anger, Bullies, and Berserkers: Marc gives you an extremely good profile of the 3 types of people you are most likely to be confronted by during a self-defense type situation. He also gives you sound advice on how to handle each one of these threats.

Sucker Punches, Low Blows, and Tricks: In this section Marc discusses the theory and principles as well as some myths about cheap shots and so forth. Very informative information that, like the rest of the information in this book, should be stored in the old grey matter.

Weapons: Marc discusses various types of weapons you are likely to encounter and spends a good deal of that time discussing the most common of them all, the knife. He also includes 4 rules for using a weapon that are very sound and should be followed.

Martial Arts vs. Street Fighting: Once again I have to take a bit of an exception with Marc's comparison of PKA (Professional Karate Association) to self-defense. To me, this is like comparing apples to oranges. Although I do understand the comparison he was trying to make. Again I must emphasize that, "One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch babe."

Teachers: A good teacher is worth their weight in gold, just like a bad one is worth their weight in crap.

Like all of Marc's books, this one is straight forward and well worth the price.

Mixed Bag.......2006-12-28

This has some good advice mixed with lots of unnecessary filler.

First, the good:
1. It has lots of valid criticisms of the martial arts and their applicability to self defense such as there is too much emphasis on 'polite fighting' and rules. He makes a good case for why martial arts instructors should have students practice fighting in different environments such as uneven ground, confined spaces such as hallways, different environmental conditions, etc.
2. He defines 'fighting' and 'combat' differently and makes a case for much a much different approach for 'combat' situations.
3. He is very good on discussing environmental awareness and avoiding possible setups by criminals.

Now, the bad:

1. The book is full of braggadocio. If the author has really been in as many fights as he claims, he evidently does not practice what he preaches. His book has lots of information about how to avoid street fights, yet it seems that he boasts about some situation he was in on every other page. The best self defense is avoiding a bad situation. That being the case, MacYoung either is not that great at self defense or else loves storytelling.
2. He is rather crude. It is fine to be realistic, but his language is gutter level throughout the book. It adds nothing and makes him sound like he doesn't have a big enough vocabulary to write without crudity.
3. He uses some goofy terms that he evidently thinks are quite clever but are not commonly known and frankly add nothing to the content. Here are some examples: 'Nighty Nite Bunny Rabbits (NNBR's)' referring to a knockout punch commonly known as a 'haymaker'. Another is 'rattlers' which is a term he uses for a jab like punch. 'PIBU' is another one of his 'homemade' terms that is meaningless to most readers.

Although some of his information is very good, I would recommend finding another book if you're looking for something good on self defense. One that is particularly good is 'Strong On Defense' by Sanford Strong. I believe it is out of print and hard to find, but it excellent.

Entertainment and Advice.......2005-09-25

After reading several of his books, I feel like I've come to know Animal. I'm familiar with some of his old stomping grounds in Ventura and have met the acqaintance of people like him. The real tragedy is that there are areas across the U.S. that breed brash troublemakers who not only put you in the precariouis position of haing to defend yourself with a crude weapon like a knife, but themselves. Many such punks routinely bite off more than they can chew, relegating them to mere predators, and not too smart ones at that.

Animal says it and I've seen it, but the best way to stay out of trouble and avoid the situations he teaches you how to deal with when things have gone too far, is courtesy. I'm sure Animal would never say so in print, but I'm certain he's forced loudmouthed louts into fights when they would rather not have fought because they said or did something that he found to be rude to himself or someone else. One can't be in that crowd without being part of it.

Now, looking back on it, he's realized how senseless it all is. He still commands respect in his circle and under some situations others might find innocuous, he's probably capable of being driven to violence to this day. And if he's known as the author of books, there are probably those who are anxious to take him on.

All this brings not only a wealth of knowledge to his books, but a tremendous sense of the senselessness of violence. Dying for a noble cause--something one believes in--is honorable. Dying because you are piss poor drunk and said the wrong thing to the wrong person is a tragedy that, like AIDS, can be avoided by keeping everything where it belongs.

If you're a yuppie or a retiree, you're probably not going to be in situations Animal describes; however, it's still insightful to see how the psychology of the biker bar stand works. Long hair, bandanas, pony tails, leather jackets, leather armbands, hairy arms, ego and, of course, knives, beer bottles and puke. This is the world you'll be hearing about in Animal's books which are in essence guides to living in his world. When you're done with the entertainment there, pick up a book on the mob and learn how to survive with the Sopranos.

I enjoy Animal's books, but I've never been part of that world and never hope to be. But hey, if you ever find yourself living in a post-nuclear world with Mad Max, it might come in handy.

Very good book by "Animal".......2005-09-22

Well,

Senshido instructor Richard Dimitri speaks highly of Marc "Animal" MacYoung's books, and like always, Rich is right.

Animal's books contain excellent tips about how to detect violence and deal with it effectively using no nononsense techniques.

Marc talks about many important things in his book, such as the importance of awareness, the difference between a striker and a maimer, real stories that either happened to him or to acquaintances regarding violence, among other things.

If you're into Real world self defense, not flashy Martial Arts, get this book, and others by this author. I know I will.

I highly recommend getting "In Total Defense Of The Self", by Richard Dimitri. It just takes your training to the next dimension and enhances your survivability a hundredfold

Excellent.......2007-02-20

it is very helpful, especially the CD (included in the dictionary) that helps on pronounciation

Very useful and practical.......2006-11-10

This is one of the best foreign language dictionaries I have used. Each word entry is filled with example usages and phrases, each shown in both French and English. This is very useful because it goes far beyond the basic meaning of a word and allows you to see how to actually use it, and therefore also understand some of the subtle differences in its usage as well.

There are also lists of idioms that use a particular word. This has also proved to be very useful, since foreign idioms can sometimes make little sense if you translate them literally word by word.

I liked the print version so much that I also purchased the software CD version. My French girlfriend and I would spend hours talking on the phone with our Oxford Hachette programs running so we could look up a word in a second or two and hardly slow the conversation down. Highly recommended.

Solid, easy to use.......2006-11-10

Overall the dictionary was fine. It was thorough enough to have many of the more esoteric theoretical terminology for translation. It is quite large and heavy, making it difficult to use at times. On the other hand it was limited in some of the jargon used by my particular scientific discipline, but then I know of any dictionary that does any better.

Great purchase!.......2006-11-04

This saved my life, I need it for my work, and couldn't find it anywhere else.
It came fast and works perfectly, thank you!

Excelent.......2006-02-26

This is the best dictionary that I have ever used, definitely your product it's excelent.

would be 5 stars, if I lived in France and had a giant pocket.......2006-09-06

I just purchased this dictionary to help with some language related issues as I just moved to Montreal, and french is not my first language. As for the quality of the translations, who knows? I am not a linguist.

I like:
1) The largish print, very easy to read and find items.
2) So far has all of the words I am looking for

I don't like:
1) The title says this edition is 'Pocket'. DO NOT BE FOOLED! It measures 7.5 x 5.25 x 2 inches. Instead of pocket, think slightly bigger than a paperback book you would buy in the airport. That said, I bought this edition at a bookstore, and knew what I was getting into.
2) There is a culture section, that is focused entirely on culture in France. Makes me worried that there will be a day when I will want to translate some Quebecois word/ cultural term and it will not be there. It is not a big issue, and I guess I should have bought something with a Quebec bend.

An excellent dictionary.......2006-01-28

This has been my main bilingual dictionary for many years. I have the 2nd edition, and imagine the 3rd edition will be as good or better. It is a very complete dictionary for the beginner and intermediate French learner and has many useful features. It is very user friendly. In addition it is a very sturdy dictionary that is still in very good condition after 3 or 4 years. I would recommend it to most people looking for a thorough dictionary.

Concise Oxford French Dictionary is very concise........2005-08-25

Not as thorough as I had hoped. If you'e looking for a tertiary-standard dictionary, get the bigger one.

Improve your French, express your ideas better.......2004-05-03

If you are studying French and need urgent help, don't waste your time and buy this dictionary now !. Do you think I'm a little overenthusiastic?. By no means!!. This dictionary is an essential "survival tool" if you want (or are forced to) learn French.

To start with, it is very easy to use, even for beginners. Moreover, it includes up-to-date vocabulary, so if you go to France you won't end up speaking as the French used to speak, 50 years ago. As if that were not enough, it also has many examples of different kinds of correspondence you might need to write (for example, in order to make a complaint, or to decline an invitation).

However, my favorite feature is a thematic wordfinder that helps the reader to express his ideas more easily. In the thematic wordfinder you will find the expressions that aid you when you need to structure your essays, and lists of vocabulary arranged according to themes. I think everybody "suffers" when his teacher gives him, as homework, a composition on natural disasters, commerce or something like that. The ideas are there, but you just cannot find the words... Well, with the wordfinder that is quite simple. In my opinion, this particular feature is useful not only for students of French, but also for students that have to write an essay in their native language about a subject that they don't know too much about. By taking advantage of the fact that this dictionary is bilingual, they can use adequate and specific language regarding the theme.

All in all, I highly recommend this dictionary. It will help you to improve your French, and you will learn to express your ideas better :)

Excellent dictionary -- also in CD-Rom!.......2003-12-02

An excellent dictionary--
Did you know that this also comes in a CD-Rom format that you can load onto your hard-drive? The CD-Rom version omits the sections on correspondence, French grammar, French pronunciation, and only includes the dictionary, but this is still a terrific help to anyone who works with French documents -- either reading or translating -- while on the computer!

Look for "The Pop-up Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary." It includes 250,000 translations, just like the hardcover book edition.

Incidently, Oxford University Press also makes CD-Rom dual language versions of EVERY European language. The easiest to find in North America are English, French-English, Spanish-English, and German-English, and these are all quite affordable.
All these dictionaries can be purchased individually in modules, and they link together, forming one drop down menu on your title bar. This is fantastic for anyone who frquently must translate from several different European languages. Harder to find, but still available (you might have to import them) are the Scandinavian languages and Italian. I also frequently use an English thesaurus CD-Rom, published by Oxford University Press, and it is excellent.

Wasn`t it OK?.......2000-10-11

The first bilingual dictionary to be compiled entirely from electronic databases of current language, making it the most comprehensive, reliable, and up-to-date reference available. The new edition provides the most recent vocabulary for both French and English. Best for the beginner who want to learn french fast.

Excellent French to English Dictionary.......2000-10-15

I have taken French for the last sixteen years in school and therefore have also used a variety of French to English / English to French dictionaries. This is by far one of the best that I have seen. Not only does it contain over 90,000 words and phrases, it has sections on French culture, holidays, how to write proper letters, weights and measures, and numbers. The font is easy to read and the book is small enough to take to class. This book is an absolute MUST have for the college student.

Saving Lenny and saving love!.......2003-01-30

The book Saving Lenny is one of the all-time best books. This romance novel really places a feeling of Love around the reader. The way a young senior in high school takes on the role of a nurturing mother to her boyfriend who has been diagnosed with depression is extraordinary. The way these two meet and share love and life is breathtaking. The best thing about this book is when the two young lovers run away to a cottage and live there for about a year. This is an adventurous romance novel.

The story was written, using emotions.......1999-10-05

This book is great! Fabulos! Everything is perfect, the emotions and feelings of the caracters were the most important thing for a book about a depressed boy-teen.
