The title of this book comes from an online insult. This book was first published in 2006 by Dojo Press & contains the original material as well as, dealing with criminal tactics, counter tactics for multiple opponents, improvised street weapons, an expanded catalog of Animals in the Street, Urban Jungle metaphor and archetypes & much more... This book was originally, written as an insult to the So called traditionalists in martial arts, who care more about the appearance of tradition then the actual effectiveness of their arts against modern and realistic threats. Instead this book takes on the Street Fighter's approach to seeing martial arts techniques as tools in the tool box and take from any source where methods work. However this book also tells you how the "Bad Guys" think, act and stack the deck to win. It explains to you how the same trains to commit crimes. It is meant to teach you have to think like a criminal and in turn, out think the criminal.
