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
