Critic reviews

Tuck your chin, folks, this collection is a knockout.” -Wes Browne, Author of They All Fall the Same

This anthology isn't just senseless action and fighting. Here is a collection of character heavy and vividly brutal pieces of writing covering both the physcial and the-arguably more exciting-psychological aspects of both the sport and reality of fighting.

An absolutely thrilling listen with an excellent cast of narrators! Highly recommend to both practicioners and fans of fighting sports, martial arts and self defense, as well as to those with an interest in psychology.

Excitingly psychological dive into the world of fighting!
