Renowned silat instructor Burton Richardson, who has cross-trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kali, jeet kune do and muay Thai, reveals what his knowledge of those systems and MMA helped him identify as the best silat tactics and techniques for modern self-defense. His Silat for the Street breaks down fights into various sections to make them more readily understandable. They include the following:• Footwork — These movement patterns will give you the advantage when you need to attack an opponent.• Entries — They will enable you to safely and dynamically enter into close quarters, where you can fire your weapons or execute a takedown.• Clinch positions — These inside control positions will permit you to trap your opponent’s arms, neck or body while minimizing your chance of being hit. • Takedowns — These moves offer a variety of methods for getting an opponent on the ground, all of which are explained in detail. • Ground fighting — This part of silat enables you to quickly dispatch an opponent if you end up on the ground. • Sarong tactics — This section demonstrates how you can use a towel or jacket as a makeshift weapon of self-defense.

A key element of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do was to look beyond the individual martial arts' styles to grasp the concepts that bind all martial systems. Burton Richardson, one of the foremost authorities on Lee's art, breaks down the concepts that bind all martial systems so all martial artists can understand this holistic approach to training. With his extensive training in martial arts from around the world including the USA, the Philippines, Japan, China, Hawaii, Brazil, Africa and Europe, Burton breaks down the martial arts realm into the five categories of: ranges, postures, attributes, techniques and training. Starting with philosophy and tactics, he gives a detailed explanation of the five categories and concludes by showing how these concepts can be applied. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs, the book features demonstrations of how these concepts can be applied in self-defense. This is not a book about a particular system, but about how the individual martial artist can practice more efficiently and with greater understanding.

Why learn chokes? A martial artist or street fighter who believes that he can survive solely on powerful punches and kicks may be in for a rude awakening when the fight ends up in a clinch on the concrete--where knockout power is tougher to generate--or the attacker turns out to be high as a kite, crazed and immune even to the pain of broken bones. Simply put, when striking isn't working, you need to be able to go to the one sure fight ender: the choke. Author Burton Richardson's broad experience in the martial arts includes instructor's credentials in Jeet Kune Do Concepts, Filipino kali (under Guro Dan Inosanto) and Kali Ilustrisimo, as well as a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In this incredibly detailed volume filled with hundreds of step-by-step photos, he gives you the best techniques he knows for ending fights quickly by demonstrating a wide variety of quick and effective chokes. When you need to knock the fight out of someone fast, these chokes will become your go-to moves.

In 1991, I was asked by Curtis F. Wong - owner of "Inside Kung Fu" magazine - to make a video series on JKD Concepts, which proved very successful. Since I had a writing background, I told Curtis that I was interested in having a column for the magazine. He said that it would be up to the editor of the publication, but he would introduce me. The editor agreed to read what I had written. It was piece on the art of Indonesian Silat. He called a few days later and said, "If you keep writing like this, you'll have a place here for a long time." When the first piece was published, the heading above the title read "Burt Offerings". The magazine editor had come up with that, and I proceeded to write the "Burt Offerings" monthly column for the next decade. Here you have a collection of many of those columns, along with some selected articles from other magazines and two interviews. As I reread each piece that made it into this work, I had a many precious memories flow back into my consciousness along with many flashbacks of pivotal moments in my Martial Arts development. To each of you reading this book, I trust that you will enjoy the stories and I sincerely hope that many of the lessons I learned, often the hard way, will help you to better your own training and life.
