This book is divided into a number of sections. According to Loriega, traditional training in the art of the navaja comes in three distinct levels: streetfighting, sneaky tricks, and mastery. He then gives numerous examples of technique from each level. Good advice on knife selection and concealed carry. Also includes knife defense methods utilizing the cape (jacket) and cane -- as well as details as to the lost Gypsy art of THROWING SCISSORS! Although the methodology is fairly specialized, this is one of the finest knifefighting texts I've seen in a long time.
