KI and the Way of the Martial Arts $6.72 While technical prowess and physical power are essential characteristics of a martial artist, true mastery of the art comes by cultivating one’s inner strength.

Mastering Sambo for Mixed Martial Arts $21.61 The founders of Russian sambo sifted through all of the worldas martial arts, including judo and jiujitsu, to get the most combat-effective techniques available. Each technique was carefully dissected and considered for its merits in achieving samboas ultimate goal: to stop an armed or unarmed adversary in the least time possible. In this book, author Scott Sonnon traces the development of the four types of sambo (self-defense, sport-wrestling, combat sambo and Spetsnaz) and then focuses on samboas mixed martial arts applications. Here he reveals the signature asaddlea techniques that have made him one of the most respected leg-lock coaches in the world. With 101 step-by-step moves a including entries, sweeps, passes, recounters and a host of submissions a this series is a must for all MMA competitors searching for an edge over the competition. Sambo prides itself on fast-wrestling, with only 60 seconds of groundfighting permitted. In mixed martial arts, however, these locks only work 20 percent of the time and aren’t worth sacrificing quality position. As a result, Sonnon modified traditional sambo to become a alower-halfa positional approach so that fighters could both strike and defend against strikes, maintain positional dominance and easily transition from one submission to the next in a chess-like fashion, as Brazilian Jiujitsu has become known for in the aupper-halfa game. Now you too can learn these winning strategies from one of the best sambo instructors in the world. |

Martial Mechanics: Maximum Results with Minimum Effort in the Practice of the Martial Arts $17.02 Interest in a wide range of martial arts grows exponentially each year, but few practitioners understand the scientific forces that underlie these arts. The originators of ancient traditional systems intuitively grasped the body mechanics behind their disciplines, and thus were capable of generating uncanny striking force. Contemporary students, on the other hand, often fail to achieve the high levels of technical proficiency they desire because they are unaware of these laws and how they work in a martial arts context. Drawing on the author’s decades of experience as both student and teacher, "Martial Mechanics "explains, in humorous, easy-to-understand language, how physics and kinesiology affect martial arts techniques and how readers can best utilize them to make them faster, more powerful, and hence more effective in actual combat. Featuring black-and-white photographs throughout, "Martial Mechanics" is written for both internal and external martial artists, " "mixed martial arts practitioners with an interest in competition or self-defense, students of kung fu, karate, taekwondo, muay thai boxing, kickboxing, wing chun, and more. Even many of the traditional grappling arts utilize certain striking techniques, and their disciples as well can improve their percussive skills with this practical guide. |

Martial Maneuvers: Fighting Principles and Tactics of the Internal Martial Arts $5.18 In "Martial Maneuvers, "Phillip Starr demonstrates that while the internal martial arts–Taijiquan, Bagua Zhang, and Xingyi Quan–might be considered ineffective for practical self-defense, they in fact have a long history of combat use. Starr argues that most teachers and practitioners of the internal arts have forgotten their rich martial heritage, focusing instead on their applicability for health or spiritual practices. Starr returns to the roots of the three major internal arts, demonstrating the combative principles upon which they were originally based. "Martial Maneuvers "often takes a lighthearted and humorous approach to what can often be challenging material, and provides training routines in easy-to-understand language. Numerous photos demonstrate the step-by-step implementation of fighting techniques, teaching readers how to apply them to their own chosen martial disciplines. While designed primarily for the internal martial artist, the techniques demonstrated in "Martial Maneuvers "can also benefit and enrich the training of a student of any discipline, including karate and kung fu. |

Traditions: Essays on the Japanese Martial Arts and Ways $6.06 The goals of the budo — the martial arts and ways of Japan lie in refining the body and spirit. These goals are not always the obvious ones — and are learned only through the guidance and direction of great teachers. The techniques, methods, and rituals of the sensei can serve as guides to a well-lived life — and provide invaluable lessons for today’s martial artists. This collection of essays includes discussions of: The spirit of ryomi, the process of self-evaluation and improvement — as illustrated in the story of Kaofujita, a master swordsman who never stopped practicing the first movement he learned. The importance of yuyo — the distance where an attacker must focus his strike — from the story of Jubei, where his mastery and control of yuyo determined his victory. The significance of ma — the space in time between successive attacks or between a defense and a counter — through the story of Yamada Shinryukan, whose exploitation of ma led him to his death. With its focus on traditional martial arts, and fascinating stories that illustrate key martial arts principles, Traditions will be required reading for serious martial artists. |

All-In Fighting $11 The author of this concise guide to unarmed combat and self-defence is a legend. W. E. Fairbairn (1885-1960) spent over thirty years in the tough environment of the Riot Squads of China’s Shanghai Municipal Police. In order to lower levels of Police mortality at the hands of Chinese Tongs, he studied ancient Chinese and Japanese martial arts, including Ju-jitsu, and was the first foreigner to be awarded a black belt in the discipline. He developed his own system which he called ‘Defendu’. At the outbreak of the Second World War, he was recruited by Britain’s Special Operations Executive as an Instructor in unarmed combat and expounded the deadly mysteries of attack and defence to scores of trainee agents about to be dropped into occupied Europe. His methods were approved and officially adopted throughout the British army. Fairbairn also developed weapons and defence aids such as bullet proof vests. He is best known as the co-inventor of the famous Sykes-Fairbairn knife. In this book he expounds his distilled experience of unarmed combat. Fully illustrated, it shows how to deliver deadly blows with hand, fist, knee and boot; wrist, bear- and strangle holds (and how to break them); how to throw an enemy, and how to break their backs; how to disarm a pistol-wielding attacker; and securing a prisoner. The book also contains a chapter on the use of the rifle in close combat by Captain P. N. Walbridge. |
