Knife Fighting Encylopedia,
This review is from: Knife Fighting Encyclopedia (Paperback)
One Star...Now. Back then there was little else! Hello Guys and Gals. This is Hock, the author of this book! I have just read both the great and then scathing reviews of my book. "Too many photos!" "Too many words!" "Not enough description!" "Not enough photos!" "Not enough laws!" Jeez! I honestly think the scathing ones all have their own business agendas in disliking me. But, having said that? I will tell you that this version of the book is now getting to be 10 years old. Old! It is no longer in print. Hasn't been for 5 years now. I don't like it. I wouldn't bother getting it. Too old. I have completely redone, reshot and re-described bigger and better than ever, the entire knife course in the knife sections of my new Hand, Stick, Knife and Gun Training Mission books, 1 thru 10 series. You can find these by just searching on my name W. Hock Hochheim. I frankly wouldn't waste my time with this old thing. I may someday, excise the knife chapters from the Training Mission books and once again make-The Knife Fighting Encyclopedia from that collection. But that might be in 2009, or 2010. Meanwhile? Get the Training Mission books and forget about this one.

Absolutely First Class,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Knife Fighting Encyclopedia (Paperback)
An absolutely first class book, based mostly upon Filipino martial arts. This book covers almost all of the techniques, grips and drills that you could possibly want. I have the first two volumes of this author's Knife Fighting Encyclopedia series and I await the two other books mentioned in the second encyclopedia to be published. Importantly, the author gives the underlying reasons for each and every technique as well as combat drills- much better than simply stating how things are done. The only suggestion for improvement would be a section outlining solo training methods as most of the training drills require two persons. Absolutely fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best work on knife fighting ever,
By J.R.R.Abrahão (aka) "Mad Abe" "jrra" (São Paulo, SP, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knife Fighting Encyclopedia (Paperback)
This is the best book on knife fighting ever published, with much good photos on several angles, and a very clear text. It's based on Filipino Arnis Martial Art, and a few topics from other Martial & Military schools. I've read a lot of books on the subjetc, that I also practice, and I can say that, if you want to buy only one book on the subject, and wish to know how to fight with a knife, and win that fight against anyone with or without a knife, this is the book for you. The best next thing to have an Arnis de Mano Trainer by your side all the time!
