Bravery is a trait required to read this book, but the details pay off for anyone that withstands the sheer intensity. The techniques included in this document are perhaps the most dangerous of any book on this list. The intrinsic challenge of mastering this material has rendered it as a cult icon for security workers. It would be more influential if a larger amount of people were able to grasp the power, but the rigorous inaccessibility only lends to its appealing mystique. Without extrapolating on the physics behind certain motions, Mashiro demonstrates wickedly brutal combat techniques that manipulate hidden weak points on the human body. Attacks are designed to target different nerves, including the sciatica. There are also gruesome instructions on how to disable an opponent by removing their eyeball. The book is just the first in a series of four increasingly violent manuals.

Great book.
Highly informative. Useful for the people who are looking for something to read about self-defence or martial art. These techniques described in this book are highly effective if applied skillfully. Do not try on innocent people. Remember with power comes responsibility.

Extremely useful book on just where to hit a person to make them go down. Never be a victim.

Its a really descriptive and intense book. A book of pain and death.
To use the knowledge of this book you need some kind of self defense training.
