Written Summary:
It's been a few months
since we reviewed Vol 1 of this series by James Keating. In that volume, Mr. Keating
dealt with short weapons (handgun, knife, etc), in this volume, we are shown how
to deal with longer weapons (mainly the shotgun and bat).
Mr. Keating's concepts
are fairly simple, and don't require a person know, or think about, tons of fancy
moves. In fact, most of the concepts used in Vol. 1, are carried over, and used in
Vol 2.
The basic ideas are:
1. Move off the line of fire, as you
2.
Block/Trap, then
3. Extract the Weapon
4. Repel the attacker (getting you
some distance)
5. Turn your attacker's weapon back on him
Some of the techniques
Mr. Keating uses are "double taps", "weaving", "torquing",
"roll back", "press back", along with others. I personally liked
the way, once Mr. Keating moves "off line", he smoothly transitions from
various blocks and traps into strikes, extractions and throws. Some of these were
really slick!
Towards the end, Mr. Keating covers other weapons such as a
belt and shovel, and how these should best be dealt with. Afterwards he closes by
discussing how if you fail to extract the weapon, not to worry, because by that time,
if you follow his methods, you're out of it's effective range, and too close for
it to be a threat. Mr. Keating goes on to emphasize how it's just as important to
practice successful extraction, as it is to practice one's "failure to extract".
He mentions how things in a real situation may not always go as planned, and implies
that if you've used his methods properly, one should be able to effectively deal
with either a successful or unsuccesful extraction. All in all a pretty good tape.
