The Pacquiao Method: Dynamic Boxing and Espada y Daga
Fight like Pacquiao!
Manny Pacquiao is the first and only eight-division world boxing champion, in which he has won ten world titles, as well as the first to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes. These historic achievements don't come by talent or blind luck, but by superior technique.
MMA fighter Holly Holm used these same techniques in her surprise, totally dominating upset of the seemingly invincible Ronda Rousey.
The aim of this book is to teach you Pacquiao's revolutionary boxing method, and furthermore, to apply that method to wield weapons in the style Filipino martial artists call "espada y daga."
The result is a dominant, dynamic style that can be applied armed as easily as empty-handed.
"The Pacquiao Method" is photo illustrated.

It was ok, I guess...
I'm a big fan of Mr Cook and have a couple of his other books, but this one seemed a little disappointing. The only things I could see in common with the boxing techniques described and the weapon techniques were using footwork and staying out of range. If you want to learn long range knife fighting, you'd better off to focus on the Warrior's Edge videos by Lynn Thompson, owner of Cold Steel.

Great info in a short book.
The author gives very good strategic street defense ideas that I would also teach in my combative classes and seminares. Strategies on strikes, angled attacks, empty hand and weapons (stick, knife, club etc...). I would like too see more illiterations for the less experienced. However, a very good write.
