More than just showing the fighting tools, the book lists the most common fighting blades, showing the best and worst points of each design, plus a lot of the fighting techniques which can be used with a variety of blades by the person who choses to use one for his defense.

Fortunately, knives are not yet considered as weapons in Brazilian Law  (in USA there are Federal, State, and Local Laws regarding blades); but don´t feel sorry for yourself, fellow Americans, because we, Brazilians, now have  one of the most draconian Laws in all the World regarding guns, ammunition, their possession and carry. These have practically disarmed the Brazilian Society, and have left law-abiding citizens without any option to repel criminal attacks - unless, of course, one choses to follow the path of the Man with the Blade, taught in this book.

In  easy language, even to the layman, the book is very attractive by it´s way of showing uncountable ways to expertly manipulate knives, giving the self-taught reader complete mastery of this "Great Art" in few weeks of dedicated training, or even a couple of weekends of hard-training.

There are no doubts that this book´ll be acclaimed by the public & critics, and I´m sure that the people whose lives will be saved by the book's teachings will be very gratefull to the authors.

The last Commander, Captain-in-charge of Destroyer PARAIBA

(Último Comandante do Contratorpedeiro PARAÍBA)

Bachelor and MSc in Naval Sciences

Brazilian Navy Commander BUCHHOLZ was not only just a Commanding Officer givin´ orders to hundreds of  sailors – he has been engaged in a kind of combat much more up close and personal than that.

The year 1991, it was late night, and Commander BUCHHOLZ was drivin´ his car, in civilian clothes, along his wife and son, on a freeway filled with potholes.

This is Brazil, and of course there are no policemen on that road, and it is also without any artificial light – only the car lights to illuminate one’s path.

It is common practice for criminals on the roads to throw heavy rocks into windshields of cars passing under bridges.  The same places are previously heavily "powdered" with big steel nails, to make the vehicles, already on low speed, to stop with a broken windshield, flattened tires or splattered passengers.

His car was “hit” that unfortunate time.

He was forced to stop the car, but he made it as far as possible from the point the vehicle was hit, because he was sure it was a criminal attack.

Soon, two men, armed with big-bore handguns,  were coming close, running in his direction.

These two “two-legged predators” faced a seasoned combat veteran, who greeted them with a pistol and shooting only twice, once at each man, killed instantly both before they could kill him or his family.

After being sure the attackers’re incapacitated, he called the police over his cellular phone and, after some 15 minutes, the police arrived.

Both of the dead men were fugitives from a high-security prison near the shootout scene, condemned to decades behind bars for several crimes, including dozens of murders.

Of course Commander BUCHHOLZ was declared justified in his actions – he was prepared to defend himself and so saved his life and the lives of his loved one’s too.

This is why he has testified to the importance of the book “BLOODY BRAZILIAN KNIFE FIGHTIN’ TECHNIQUES” – because he KNOWS it is important to be prepared, physically and emotionally, to confront evil, and win over it, when the need arises.

Thank you, Commander BUCHHOLZ!

A Review by an American:

BLOODY BRAZILIAN KNIFE-FIGHTIN' TECHNIQUES

by Uncle Fester, Rick "Kamakaze" Nakayama, Pedro "Fat" Cavalcanti, and J.R.R. "Mad Abe" Abrahão

Reviewed by Charles S. Brocato, M.Sc., D.D. (*)

The weather is changing, strange events are taking place allover the world, and as world economic news worsens, and people become more desperate, violent crime rises.

Those who cannot obtain handguns for personal protection need an affordable, but efficient, means of self-defense.

BLOODY BRAZILIAN KNIFE-FIGHTIN' TECHNIQUES answers this need.

The authors begin this book with a fascinating history of Brazilian knife-fighting, how it came about and what circumstances forced it to develop.

When Brazilians lost their rights to own guns early in Brazilian history, and a series of dictators passed draconian laws against gun ownership, the common people were forced to develop knife-fighting skills to protect themselves against violent crime.

Brazil now has the highest rate for violent crime in the world, so ordinary citizens need these techniques to defend themselves against attack.

What happened in Brazil is now happening in England, Australia and other countries that once promoted personal freedom, and the One World Government protagonists want above all to stop gun ownership in America.

This is a reason for Americans to get prepared for when that happens, by studying this book.

The authors carefully point out other reasons why, in addition to the above, you should learn knife-fighting, especially if you are interested in self-defense. Edged weapons are "popular with criminals, psychopaths and even terrorists," because an edged weapon is very quiet.

It can be concealed easily, and "they do not present mechanical problems as guns do."

Knives can be found practically everywhere and they are cheap.

They are also easily carried and easy to use. The anti-gunners in America want to be politically correct and respect the human rights of criminals by disarming the criminals' victims.

In Brazil, as will be in America, the knife is the favored option chosen by criminals because guns are hard to get and are extremely expensive.

Consequently, the knife is the weapon of choice for self-defense, also.

For these reasons, knife defense underwent years of development as victims learned to fend off the criminal element.

BLOODY BRAZILIAN KNIFE-FIGHTIN' TECHNIQUES takes you to that high point of development in easy steps, so that in a few days, you can learn the salient features of knife-fighting techniques that were developed over 500 years of Brazilian history.

The book is designed for self-study.

The pictures alone are worth the price of the book.

The photographs and illustrations show clearly and dynamically how and where to strike, while the text describes how to move and most important, how to think.

Readers also learn how to fight multiple assailants.

Stance, movement and parry techniques are pictorially illustrated and described, with a number of practice photos and situations that will enable you to better able to defend yourself with a knife.

A small woman can overcome the largest assailant with the deft use of a knife.

If you thought the Japanese monks developed a strong system of self-defense, they have nothing on the Brazilians and their development of the knife as a tool for self-defense.

I wish I'd had this book, and the knowledge it contains, years ago.

Gun rights may eventually leave America, as they did Brazil.

For what's coming to America, you had better have some means of self-defense, and it had better not be entirely based on the gun.

A Review by an English reader:

My name is Philip A. Luty.

I am the author of the "Expedient Homemade Firearms" books and CD's covering the building of improvised firearms.

I also have an interest in knives and the art of knife fighting self defence techniques.
 

I recently obtained a copy of the new book Bloody Brazilian Knife Fighting, more than anything, because the eye catching cover caught my attention!
 

Upon receiving this book i found it to be very well presented from cover to cover.

The information inside those covers is both "straight to the point" and easily understandable, even by those who might have little prior knowledge of this facinating subject.

The book is, to say the least, profusely illustrated throughout with countless photo's and illustrations covering every aspect of the knife fighters art, written by top Brazillian experts in their field.
 

The book covers everything you need to know about using one of mans oldest tools as an instrument of self defence against a violent, weapon carrying, assailant. Something the lawless streets of Brazil has far too many of. In my opinion it is well worth the asking price and should be regarded as a "must have" book for any knife, or knife fighting, enthusiast.
 

This amazing book is as ''good as it gets'' and is the next best thing to having ones own knife fighting self defence trainer!

P.A.Luty´s book is the first book to show how the layman can make with simple hand tools a workable combat-grade submachinegun - so "real" he was arrested and jailed in his homeland. Look at his website to know his complete saga in once free England: www.thehomegunsmith.com
