Reviews for Bar-Jutsu
"You don't have to be a drinker to appreciate the wit and wisdom that James Porco put into Bar-Jutsu: The American Art of Bar Fighting. The author hails from a background in Bujinkan ninjutsu, in which he holds a second degree black belt, but his book is all about the Western ways of throwing down."
Black Belt magazine "Tired of getting your ass kicked in bar fights? Or just curious about how to behave in a hypothetical pub scuffle? The new book Bar-Jutsu: The American Art of Bar Fighting is not a masterpiece, but it does offer some useful tips should you ever find yourself in a Road House-style barroom brawl."
MadeMan.com blog "…a perfect blend of entertainment and training. The lessons are spot-on, and the images perfectly illustrate the nuances required to make self-defense maneuvers effective. The scenarios are hilarious, and can easily happen to any of us…from an "average Joe" to a professional wrestler, or even to the original wrestling diva!"
