An accompaniment to Alan's first rate DVD of the same name, this work should go to the top of anyone's list of books about personal safety and self protection.

The 'Fence' concept is fundamental to the successful outcome of a violent encounter and up to press, it has never been outlined and explained as comprehensively.

Alan's credentials in both martial arts and working the Doors in Coventry is impeccable, as is his clarity of writing. A long overdue book from one of the UK's best practitioners.

This is a great read, the most comprehensive book on the fence in the world today.

Al took the knowledge he gained from me in thousands of hours of blood and snot instruction and subjected it to 7 years of pressure-testing on the nightclub doors of a city (Coventry) that was once polled as being the most violent in Europe for its size and population.

That is why this book is important.
It is why I endorse it.
Read it, learn from it and make it your own.
This book may at some time prove life saving.

I was very fortunate to be given a review copy of Al Peasland's book on 'Fence Concepts'.  This is the companion volume to Al's excellent DVD covering the same subject. 
 
One of the things I love most about Al is the way he activley seeks to not glorify the 'real' experiences he has had.  Instead he allows something extremely positive to come from them by not only helping others avoid confrontation, but also by arming them with proven strategies should they need them.
 
Like the DVD the book is superbly presented and Al's humour allows you to digest the darker parts of this subject with ease.  
 
As martial artists we like to think that our training prepares us for all things but Al's products allow us to investigate and train the areas that, whilst not pleasant, need to be covered.

Al Peasland's new book 'Fence Concepts' offers readers a step-by-step guide on how to use the fence in self-defence.

Fence Concepts has a number of photos of MMA expert and seasoned doorman Al Peasland demonstrating various aspects of the fence and offers the most detailed account on this important subject currently available.

As a former Metropolitan Police Self-Defence Instructor, I would recommend this book to anyone who wishes to gain a greater understanding of how to effectively control someone in the 'pre-fight' phase of a confrontation. The fence is the key to effective self-defence and Al Peasland is the man to learn from.

Al Peasland to me is one of the best self defence experts the UK has produced in a long time.

With his heritage in the Martial arts and the years of instruction he has had from some of the best there is his book Fence Concepts has been a long time coming. For anyone serious about personal protection, this book points out everything from awareness, to all of the Fence strategies which can be employed and how to train them.

This book is a must for anyone, not just in self defence but anyone wishing to feel safer and know what to do in day to day life to protect themselves against what can be a real threat.

Working from Colour coding and awareness to pre emptive strikes this book cannot sit on the shelves and must make its way into your collection if you are serious about personal protection.

Al Peasland's Fence Concepts was an absolute pleasure to read.

As a beginning student in the world of reality based self defence,
I've never seen such a comprehensive account of this vital self defence tool.

Al effortlessly guides the viewer through all aspects of the 'pre-fight ritual'
and charismatically explains the concepts and techniques in a simple and applicable manner that allows even the greenest student to understand, apply,
and train all aspects of fence work confidently and thoroughly.

Coupled with its easy to understand explanations, use of clear and concise language and pictures to carry its message, this book is a must have for all students of self defence.
5 stars!
