After years spent working as a bouncer at bars and clubs, James Porco-a certified ninjutsu instructor and former professional wrestler-set out on a quest to teach every man and woman to stand tall when barroom trouble has found them. Bar-jutsu: The American Art of Bar Fighting frees us from this fear of tavern tangles with a range of self-defense techniques that can easily erupt in a bar environment. Each eye-opening chapter addresses a range of potentially volatile situations, including:

  • First Contact: Oops! I Touched Him
  • Up against the Wall
  • Is that a Broken Beer Bottle in Your Hand or Are You Just Happy to See Me?
  • I'm Not as Think As You Drunk I am
  • Who is this Clown?

Thanks to the simple, yet effective techniques featured in Bar-jutsu, you can soon tote yourself as an official night spot ninja. The book is now available for purchase in most bookstores and online at Tuttle Publishing or Amazon.
