The Evolution of Martial Arts in Combat Sports: A complete guide to developing elite level striking from the world's leading coaches

The media could not be loaded.  If you are a coach you owe it to yourself to buy a hard copy of this book. I have both a digital and hard copy.You have a wealth of knowledge from some of the world's greatest fighters and coaches. Clearly written with easy to follow descriptions that inform you not only the how of the movements but also the why... This is so helpful as often context is why a move or combination works or doesn't.Always a good sign when you looking forward to turn each page and discover another amazing combo. If you are a coach you could dedicate an entire class to a combo then work variations from that and have a whole week's worth of lessons from one page. This is a 293 page book.You do the math is this worth the money...yes and a whole lot more.Thank you Stuart for taking the time to build up strong relationships with such exceptional coaches and putting in such an easily digestable format.Do yourself a favour and buy a couple of copies because you are going to read it so many times one copy will get worn out

This book is a breath of fresh air! So much solid content from some of the world's best coaches and fighters in one place! So happy with my purchase.One review mentioned how the text looked small on an actual kindle, it is a little small but not unreadable, pinch zooming works fine. I use the kindle app on a tablet which looks slick and it is an awesome way to use this book either to read at home or in the gym! Can't stress enough ahout the quality of the content!

I've been training martial arts 17 years and in that time I've bought lots of books on the subject. This book is definitely the best book I've seen on the subject of striking. Great attention to detail and nice Clear photos and instructions from world class coaches. I look foward to the next book due to be published soon.

The attention to detail in this book hasn’t been covered in any publication that I’ve read since Bruce Lee’s Tao of Jeet Kune Do!You’ll find the illustrations and knowledge provided in this book are highly educational as well as practical.My only criticism is that it wasn’t written 20 years ago! Would’ve saved me a lot of time wasting!

Treated my daughter to this book. Stuart has trained her for many years. She’s chuffed to bits, tells everyone her coach is famous. A great read with excellent illustrations. A fab book for anyone with an interest in martial arts. Highly recommend

What a fantastic book! A who’s who of well respected coaches and fighters with really useful tips and drills. Great for anyone interested in striking and martial arts. I bought the hard back version. Can’t wait for the next volume.

An absolute must for mma coaches/mma artists alike. Great illustration and all round awesome book, well worth it and the passion that has gone into this shines through! Whether training in the gym or at home a worthwhile purchase!

The book is outstanding as I done mury Thai for 21years and most off all I learn so much from it the part off Phil nurse and Liam Harrison section

Es de uso autodidactico,muy buena información técnica.

Excellent stuff... A real lifes work of research and hard work has gone into putting this together.Everyone will learn lots from this... I've studied muay thai since 85 and now live 2hrs from Bangkok and I'm learning tonnes from it...Added bonus for us old guys in that it'll take you on a nostalgic trip back to magazine articles from the 80s or flicking through fighters notebook in the late 90s.It's also beautifully laid out... I bought the kindle version... But I'm now aching to own the book as it looks so sweet... It must be damn thick as there's so much in here!Congrats to the author on collecting all this and putting it together so wonderfull.10/10...would buy again.Only niggle is the afore mentioned lack of zoom on kindle... But there will be a way round this (even if it's just getting me to an optitions to get some better glasses!)Thank you for this book.

This is a book of drills. I bought it under the assumption that techniques would be discussed, and that common mistakes would be explained along with suggestions to improve various strike techniques. But the whole book is just tons of "do a straight punch, have your partner block it". It was not for me, but if you want drills, then buy this one. What it does have is a stunning layout, good quality photos, and tons of pages.

Super Buch, sehr gut illustriert und einfache Erklärung auf Englisch.

Peccato che non ci sia in italiano
