Synopsis

In his first instructional manual, Al Peasland (5th Dan BCA), takes us through his own interpretation of the Geoff Thompson Fence concepts. The Fence is now a well recognized name for the techniques used to control the time and space between engaging with a potential attacker and ending the conflict either with physical or psychological pre-emption. It assumes things have already gone wrong with our threat awareness and threat avoidance tactics and are already in a potentially life threatening situation with one or multiple assailants. If the thought of a physical confrontation fills you with dread, this book is for you. If you question whether you would be able to handle a violent confrontation, this book has the answers. If you ve never been in a real fight, then here's your chance to learn from someone who s been there, done it and got the torn t-shirt. Al s Fence Concepts teaches you how to take control of the situation, how to handle all the feelings of fear, and how to use those feelings to your advantage. This manual goes on to detail how the situation can be ended without throwing a single punch, or by being first with devastating powerful, close range punches, kicks, chokes and takedowns. This book is a long awaited must-read from Geoff Thompson s highest graded and longest serving instructor, Al Peasland

About this title

Review

An accompaniment to Alan's first rate DVD of the same name, this work should go to the top of anyone's list of books about personal safety and self protection. The 'Fence' concept is fundamental to the successful outcome of a violent encounter and up to press, it has never been outlined and explained as comprehensively. Alan's credentials in both martial arts and working the Doors in Coventry is impeccable, as is his clarity of writing. A long overdue book from one of the UK's best practitioners. --Peter Consterdine (BCA 8th Dan)

This is a great read, the most comprehensive book on the fence in the world today. Al took the knowledge he gained from me in thousands of hours of blood and snot instruction and subjected it to 7 years of pressure-testing on the nightclub doors of a city (Coventry) that was once polled as being the most violent in Europe for its size and population. That is why this book is important. It is why I endorse it. Read it, learn from it and make it your own. This book may at some time prove life saving. --Geoff Thompson (BCA 7th Dan)

I was very fortunate to be given a review copy of Al Peasland's book on 'Fence Concepts'. This is the companion volume to Al's excellent DVD covering the same subject. One of the things I love most about Al is the way he activley seeks to not glorify the 'real' experiences he has had. Instead he allows something extremely positive to come from them by not only helping others avoid confrontation, but also by arming them with proven strategies should they need them. Like the DVD the book is superbly presented and Al's humour allows you to digest the darker parts of this subject with ease. As martial artists we like to think that our training prepares us for all things but Al's products allow us to investigate and train the areas that, whilst not pleasant, need to be covered. --Terry Barnett (JKD Full Instructor)
