I liked the book's sections on blade defense and special situations such as multiple opponents, good food for thought. On one particular blade disarm is a follow up section on an opponent who tries to attack the defender though he is pinned and on his back.
Overall the system emphasized stick hits and disarms equally. Usage of techniques is always subject to debate.
This book is now out of print. Sorry.
