I don't think reading Get Tough without sparring is very helpful.
good thing thats not what i recommended? did you not see the beginning part where i said 'anything you will consistently train' and later specifically mentioned judo or aikido if you are worried about legal issues harming your opponent?
I don't understand how you think it is helpful in any way. It follows the section where you say that no sparring will allow you to practice maiming attacks. But Get Tough won't do that either. Then you recommend judo or aikido to minimize harm, which is not the point of Get Tough. (And with any style, you can absolutely knock someone over and they conk their head on the curb and you're in for a legal battle. Happens to untrained people!) So what were you actually suggesting with the book? Do you think that readers will learn about ambushes and then be able to do them irl, or effectively defend against Get Tough techniques without sparring? Why read this Hardy Boys tier book?
