Came across this book again recently and could not believe that someone had documented and explained the pre-requisites of posture, balance, positioning, bio-mechanics, movement etc that are necessary for any martial art.
To think that it took me 8 yrs of trial, error and exasperation to appreciate and understand just some of the things contained in this book.
Take the time to understand the entire book; it might save you years of not knowing why things won't work for you.
Should be a martial arts classic
