Oh my Gawd!!! Richard quoted a review on Amazon by a fellow that
quoted Randall Bassett almost verbatim from the book. Let's see -
I've been posting about Randall Basset's book since at least 2000
on alt.m.t. and as recently as 2007 on FFL. But not one single
informant bothered to read the book - and apparently nobody has
struck a mock self-defensive pose until now. Go figure.
Ohhh Ricky, plagiarism. I'm shocked and disappointed. You've been
found out. Somehow I don't think this would have surprised Bob
Price. However, it would have gotten you kicked out of University
if you were a student and fired if you were a Professor. Luckily,
this is just FFL.

So, it's all about Ricky.

Hate to say it, but a lot of what he wrote was cribbed from an
Amazon reader review of a book on karate:

Check out the review by H. Asbury.

A white belt is the belt you get when you buy a
karate uniform. The first class I attended was
when my parents were stationed in Japan in 1959
in the USAF. What is important in martial arts
isn't the clothing you wear or your rank at a
dojo - what is important is self control which
/begins in the mind/. An effective self defense
is greatly a function of our awareness of the
surroundings in the outside world; our ability to
control the content of our mind under stress; and
our ability to remove ourselves as a "target" by
our behavior and mindset. Most instructors only
give lip service to mental preparation such as
meditation and spend more time discussing
physical tactics. Self defense is as much mental
as physical.
