Overlook Hardcover 2006-09-21 1585676357 / 9781585676354 Hardcover Used: Like New Hardcover
Across the various martial arts, basic principles about the body in combat lead to different, often contradictory, philosophies and techniques. A practiioner of Judo might advocate grappling, reasoning that most fights converge into close range after a short time, making grappling the most effective technique for defeating an opponent, an advocate of Tae Kwon Do, however, would argue that one shoudl strive to maintain a distance in an encounter that would allow one to use one's most powerful weapons, the legs. Both are reasonable claims.As a lifelong student and teacher of multiple styles of martial arts, Steven Pearlman has sought to distill from these disciplines not a fusion of techniques, but rather a compliation of fundamental priciples that can guide the individula martial artsit to the ideal action. Pearlman arrives at a path to martial power open to all martial artists, a path that crosses the boundaries of style without bastardizing the techniques of the original disciplines.This book will capture the mids of martial artists and anyone interst in finding a path to success that is not beholden to a specificd form but it instead driven by fundamental principles.
