Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: Toughen Up, Because Nobody's Going to Save You I think that FIST STICK KNIFE GUN is really a book on how you can't rely on protection from the authorities. I remember telling my students "don't fight, because fighting is wrong" and then having the kid ask me "if somebody has a padlock-in-a-sock and whacks your head with it, are you telling me that you're going to do nothing?" I realised what the kids in the worst neighborhoods go through; they have to fight, or they will be taken advantage of. Not very interesting I read this constantly waiting for drama, a new and inspiring message, anything. Here's the poop: Impovershed neighborhoods are dangerous places filled with young people who grew up fighting and now have firearms. If you visit certain streets in Harlem, sounds like a bullet proof vest is in order. It sucks to be poor. The author is a good person who has helped many in need. This book should have been a pamphlet. Heart-grabbing crucial reading Dr. Canada in stark detail and personal revelation captures the critical need to address violence in our society. His experience in dealing with the issue and sensitivity to the realities of life in our day package this message beautifully. Violence in America: A Martial Artists Perspective If you have never really understood inner city or gang violence, read this book. If you live in the inner city or must deal with gang violence, read this book. If you are prone to pass judgment on inner city youth, read this book. If you want your eyes opened about violence in America and contributing factors to that violence, read this book. If you want to read about a program that works, ...yes, read this book. Geoffrey Canada is a fellow martial artist that is using his skills to make a positive difference in the world. I have tremendous admiration for what he is doing. Very deep book Awesome story about life growing up in the Bronx. Those who grew up in the Bronx, can definitely relate to many of the stories. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
