If you're looking for a book on Arnis or Eskrima, then don't buy this book.
If you're looking for a book that shows techniques that can be used with virtually any kind of stick and that will compliment any Arnis/ Eskrima training that you have done, then this book is a must buy!
All the pictures and text and clear, concise and written in such a way that a complete novice to the martial arts can understand. I paid ... for this at my local store, wish I'd bought it here! :-(

Stick Fighting is a book with multiple defence techniques to be learnt using various types of stick. The Kali is the most regularly used stick in the book; however a smaller stick and a hand stick are also used. It has defences for a punch, front kick, grabs from behind, grabs to the stick, to the wrist and to the sleeve. Each technique is explained with great accuracy and illustration are provided to aid the learner.

A misleading title
Lets be clear, this book is not about stick fighting but the application of techniques using a stick against an assailant with no weapon at all. Read more
