Product Description

Product Description

This comprehensive book outlines the core principles and techniques that define the art of ground fighting in most martial arts. More than 1200 photographs introduce over 195 practical skills: chokes, head locks, joint locks, pins, ground kicks, sacrifice techniques, and defences and counters from seated, reclining and kneeling positions. Introductory chapters present important technical principles, East Asian energetic concepts, and 109 fundamental skills encompassing body positions, stances, footwork, ground movement, transitional movement and common methods of tumbling and falling. Regardless of the style you practice, this book should enrich your training, improve your technique and deepen your understanding of your own martial art.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Ground fighting... & other things!!!..., 30 May 2004
As a martial artist (Ju-Jitsu), I was looking for a book to help develop my ground fighting skills. This book starts off with the very basics of breakfalls, before moving on to footwork, defence from the ground, different chokes, pinning holds, locks etc. I found the inclusion of meridian points a bonus, and although some of the early sections were not of much use - not specific to ground fighting, some of the later techniques were very good, in their illustration and explanation.
This book is also a hardback which is always an added bonus (too many books are paper back these days & don't last as long as they should!!)
the pictures and their print quality are excellent...
To summarise, i would say this book is a good all-round intro. to most aspects of a throwing/ grappling martial art, but I would have liked to have seen more ground work explored (given the title)...
If you're fairly new to martial arts, you'll really appreciate the scope of this book..If you're already a practioner, you'll probably pick up some pointers!!..
