Thanks for the writeup. Another excellent book on this topic is Meditations on Violence (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594391181?ie=UTF8&tag=twenpala-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1594391181) by Rory Miller. Miller was a prison guard for many years and had "a fight a day" lifestyle for several years.
He doesn't give specific advice on technique (in fact, he preaches against it) but he does talk quite a bit about the disconnect between how people think things work and how they actually do. I (who will never have a fight, ever, even for pretend, if I can help it) found it fascinating for the way it applied to other aspects of my life.
I do have a question about your post, though. I'm afraid I can't parse "... definitely not bigger rocket what gives advantage." Would you mind giving a clarification?
