5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have,
By WILLIAM D RAMSEY II "rugbydox" (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bare Essentials Guide for Martial Arts Injury Prevention and Care (Paperback)
This is the best written book of this type that I have read. She is able to make a very general topic focused and easy for parents and coaches to understand. The information is accurate without being overly technical and is easy to follow. The photographs will really help those people who have trouble visualizing the text. Any parent with children who participate in martial arts should read this book so that they can better communicate with health care providers and help to prevent some types of injuries.

Essential "Bare Essentials",
By Mark J. Lesly (Jersey City, N.J. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bare Essentials Guide for Martial Arts Injury Prevention and Care (Paperback)
I am a Taekwondo Instructor with 28 years in the martial arts and have a fairly extensive martial arts library. I find this to be a unique and incredibly valuable book to any responsible martial arts instructor. It covers everything from correct preventative measures to clear and precise taping instructions with illustrative photographs, to the correct treatment of injuries likely to occur in martial arts training. I recommend this book HIGHLY.Master Mark J. Lesly

This review is from: The Bare Essentials Guide for Martial Arts Injury Prevention and Care (Paperback)
Dr. Bare writes, not from theoretical, laboratory training, but from many years and thousands of hours of in-the-ring experience. Her matter-of-fact manual on preventing and curing martial arts injury is a must for any style of martial artist.--this from a 4th dan TKD instructor and nationally ranked referee.
