Super C: The Ultimate Grappling Move
If you learn only one wrestling move, Super C: The Ultimate Grappling Move, should be the technique you learn.
Wrestling, grappling, and submission arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu have become very popular recently. Millions avidly watch Mixed Martial Arts octagon or cage matches.
But when we think about self-defense on the street, we must carefully consider the difference between what is sport and what will actually work in real life, where opponents may be armed and attack in gangs.
If we think it through, the ideal grappling technique...
1. Strikes in the first move.
2. Works against an opponent with a knife.
3. Works against multiple opponents.
4. Can be executed if you are armed.
5. Has a decisive finishing move.
Out of thousands of possible grappling techniques, only one meets all of these criteria, Super C: The Ultimate Grappling Move. In this photo-illustrated manuscript, with links to instructional videos, you will learn a very powerful and versatile wrestling move.
The book includes a special bonus section on seated self-defense, an important aspect of combat that is often neglected. You will learn how to apply the Super C from a seated position.

Not practical
In this book, Mr Cook clearly demonstrates that he knows nothing about grappling in the street. The book has very few pictures, even though he claims it is a "photo illustrated" book. Pictures are also not formatted to work well on kindle. Some pictures are so tiny, you can't make out what he's doing.
The technique the book is about, his "Super C" technique, is NOT a variation of the high c (short for high crotch) as he claims. In the ONE video link that shows him demonstrating his Super C technique all he's doing is a groin strike, followed by a suplex. This is NOT a High C move! If you watch one of the several links he provides in the kindle version, you'll see that the high c is mainly a takedown move in amateur wrestling. His super c looks more like a pro wrestling move. The groin strike is practical, but the suplex he shows requires way more strength than the average person would have to pull it off. He says it can be used against multiple attackers? No way! If you get lucky and manage to throw ONE person, it's doubtful you'd be able throw another person. Not unless you have a massive increase in adrenaline. Like the woman who can lift a car off of her trapped child.
The rest of the book is about defending yourself from a seated position. Which is a fairly neglected aspect of self defense training. He tries to tell (no pictures in this section), how his Super C move works as a defense from a seated position, but quickly transitions into using weapons from a seated position. A much more practical approach.
Mr Cook needs to stick with he's good with; big sticks and knives. Just because you can research a topic that you think might make a good book, doesn't mean you should write it.

The compliment to Darrin Cook's other books
The needed compliment to Darrin Cook's other books, providing the grappling component to his system of self defense. I recommend all his books.
