By A Customer
This review is from: Battle Master: Drills for Practical Self-Defense (Paperback)
Ballle master is one of the best written books I have read. This book has helped me to better understand the JKD philosphies, and has definately helped me with my training techniques. I have learned awesome training drills, and some helpful knowledge about JKD from this book. The battle master introduces reality into martial arts, which is what people should be realizing! all in all I would say the battle master is definately worth you time and money!!! ~jackie~

This review is from: Battle Master: Drills for Practical Self-Defense (Paperback)
As a martial artist with 20 years of experience in various martial arts, I found this book to be an outstanding reference for training in in martial arts. There are effective drills to develop speed, strength, precision, sensitivity and conditioning, all important for success in martial arts. Additional drills cover sparring, weapons, miltiple opponents and attitude, as well as discussions on reality and the offensive levels of combat. Detailed explanations help the reader understand the concept and reality behind the drills which is crucial to performing them properly - many books give drills without delving into the why's and wherefores of their purpose. This book should rank right up there with the best JKD books around and belong on every serious martial artist's bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars
not our style of self defense,
By A Customer
This review is from: Battle Master: Drills for Practical Self-Defense (Paperback)
Battle Master is not our style of self defense, This is why I found it so helpful in expanding my self defense techniques outside of the traditional korean arts. My instructor always stated that "it was a good thing to look into other martial arts and see what they offer, to know only what I teach you would limit you, to learn from any opportunity is growth". I would highly recommend this book to all martial artists.
