The martial arts are among today's most exciting exercise regimes and are fast becoming the most popular way to get and keep fit. New Holland's new Martial Arts series, aimed at both men and women, uses specially commissioned full-colour sequence photography and expert text to introduce the newcomer to the techniques. This book focuses on the technical elements of the sport, from kicking and sweeping techniques to elbow strikes, using photography to demonstrate graphically how to perform each move. The book includes training and sparring routines, grading and competitions, and the role of the coach. A short chapter introduces close combat and self-defence techniques. The fascinating history of kickboxing and its various disciplines, such as Thai boxing, are also covered. Clear instructional photographs and precise text make this an invaluable and inspiring book for any beginner.
