Product Description

Product Description
Pressure-point fighting - the practice of manipulating the body's vital nerve and reflex points for self-defence - offers the ability to neutralize attackers without causing permanent harm. This intricate and temporarily devastating self-defence system has obvious advantages. What has been missing until now is a comprehensive guidebook from the Western perspective. Now, this guide explains all the fundamental pressure-point techniques, illustrated with photographs and pressure-point charts, melding the ancient Asian knowledge with modern Western medicine and science.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pressure Points - The Hidden Secret Of The Martial Artist, 6 May 2001

By	Adam.J.Homer (UK) - See all my reviews

As an experienced Martial Artist I can tell you that Pressure Points are not easy to apply, in fact in a real fight they are very difficult to apply successfully however if u do they can be a lifesaver allowing you to take control of anyone irrelevant of their size. Now martial arts expert Rick Clark offers all the fundamental pressure-point techniques-illustrated with hundreds of photographs and a number of detailed pressure-point charts-melding the ancient Asian knowledge with modern Western medicine and science. In what it sets out to do, document effective, reliable pressure points it is very successful. The book does not deserve a perfect for 2 reasons, firstly I believe the book could be shorter and more to the point in some areas as it often provides information that is not needed, a bit like my review. Secondly to really effectively learn pressure points nothing can substitute a good Martial Arts instructor.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not nearly as good as I'd hoped for., 11 Jul 2001

By A Customer

Rick Clark talks much sense with respect to turning back to the original fighting systems of Budo instead of more modern, less generalised systems such as Karate and Tae Kwon Do, but then goes forward to demonstrate some basic self-defence techniques using Karate! There are only really 10 pages in the book which relate to the specifics of pressure points, although these are not brilliant, and fiarly simplistic. I would advise to get the Dim-Mak books instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book for Karate-Ka., 30 Jul 2001

By A Customer

The title of this book is fairly misleading, for what Rick Clark chooses to do is demonstrate some Kata Bunkai rather than teach methods of pressure point fighting per se. To that end, the book is designed as an eye-opening entrance to pressure point fighting for karate practicioners - showing them a few techniques 'hidden' in their forms. While its content is slim, it should be on every serious Karate based martial artist's reading list.
