Supplement your martial arts skills with this expert guide to pressure point fighting. Western students of Asian martial arts have long been haunted by the aching suspicion that something is missing from the arts they love and practice wholeheartedly--something intangible, but something so essential that its absence leaves an unbridgeable void. For many, that missing ingredient is a true and thorough knowledge of the body's vital points: what they are, where they are, how to quickly find them under duress, how to use them, constructively or for destruction--and how to recognize them in the kata, hyung, or forms they thought they knew so well. In Pressure Point Fighting, martial arts expert Rick Clark offers a systematic introduction to this knowledge and to the tools needed to ferret out more of this information from forms and techniques already in place--knowledge and tools that are not dependent upon acceptance of the tenets of traditional Chinese medicine, or modern Western medicine, for that matter, but which are based solely on open-minded observation and willingness to try new, or old, approaches to martial arts training.

The San Ten no Kata, by Sensei Vincent A. Cruz, is a series of five drills for students of Shotokan karate. The drills introduce all of the techniques used in the traditional Shotokan katas in a natural sequence of study that progresses from white belt to black belt levels. Each drill exercises ten specific hand and foot techniques, with an emphasis on balanced development on the left and right sides. Each drill is similar to a vigorous 100-step kata. San Ten dojos use the San Ten no Kata drills as basic instruction, as warm-up exercises, as tests, and for spirit training.

Treasured for centuries by karate's top masters, the Bubishi is a classic Chinese work on philosophy, strategy, medicine, and technique as they relate to the martial arts. Referred to as the "bible of karate" by famous master Chojun Miyagi, for hundreds of years the Bubishiwas a secret text passed from master to student in China and later in Okinawa. All of karate's legendary masters have studied it, applied its teachings, or copied passages from it. No other classic work has had as dramatic an impact on the shaping and development of karate as the Bubishi. Karate historian and authority Patrick McCarthy spent over ten years researching and studying the Bubishi and the arts associated with it. The first English translation of this remarkable martial arts manual includes numerous explanations and notes. McCarthy's work also includes groundbreaking research on Okinawan and Chinese history, as well as the fighting and healing traditions that developed in those countries, making it a gold mine for researchers and practitioners alike. For the final word on the true origins and spirit of classic Okinawan martial arts, one need look no further. This karate book is one of the best karate training supplements available.

Ryukyu Kempo is an ancient martial art that evolved in the Old Kingdom: a chain of islands stretching from Kyushu in the north to Taiwan in the south. It is comprised of five primary elements: 1. Kihon (basic techniques); 2. Kata (forms); 3. Kumite (free-fighting); 4. Kyusho-jitsu (pressure points); and 5. Kobudo (weapons). Accordingly, the follower of this way is truly armed at all points. Perhaps more than any other practitioner, George Dillman has systematically deciphered and disseminated this art throughout the world.
