Fighting: A Path to Understanding

The authoritative book on fighting from one of the UK's leading martial artists. 'Fighting' takes the intermediate martial arts student through the fundamentals of combat, with comprehensive sections on preparation (footwork, stance, range and measure, guards) and punching and kicking attacks and defences, including elbows, knees, throws and training combinations and workouts to drill all these. There is also a very useful section on putting it all together, including strategy, timing, rhythm, the fighting timeline and scenario planning. This book goes far beyond the usual scope of martial arts books, providing a comprehensive reference for the serious martial arts student.
