Street criminals usually have one of two goals: separate you from your wallet or separate you from your head. As a veteran cop working the streets of one of America's largest cities, Frank Albert has learned the dangerous 'rituals' of violent encounters. In One-Strike Stopping Power, he shows you how to end such confrontations quickly and ruthlessly.

Through his simple but effective system-the B.E.A.T. model-Albert reveals the vulnerable targets of the human body that, if attacked properly, can result in your assailant collapsing to the pavement in writhing pain or unconsciousness. He then goes on to demonstrate how to get at these targets with the best punches, kicks, elbows, knees, headbutts, and other weapons in your arsenal. The final invaluable chapter outlines what he calls 'the dynamics of the street'-how violent, predatory street people think, how they size you up as a potential victim, and what you can do to put them off and avoid losing your money or your life.
