Basic Stick Fighting for Combat (Special Forces/Ranger-Udt/Seal Hand-To-Hand Combat/Special Weapons/Special Tactics Series)

easy to understand and lot of good information

hello a very good book on subject monthful technics presentation, very clear the descriptions have been well detailed absolutly to read it and discover it to discover it regards

Like most of Michael Echanis's work, some of the techniques in here are not really practical it recommended outside of the Dojo unless you're very adept in Hwa-Rang-Do. A good portion though, has real world reality based potential!

This is a classic in the martial arts library Highly recommended to any serious student of martial arts. Michael died too soon under suspicious circumstances. Research the information about his demise

for sports enthusiasts of this particular sport. Very informative and worthwhile to buy. YOu will learn a lot to put in to practice.

Echanis isn't kidding when he calls it basic. He opens with a brief history and overview of stick fighting, then divides the rest of the book into four sections by weapon, one each for the baton, short stick, snapping short stick, and cane. He gives one to two pages of text about each weapon, and the rest of each chapter is just photos of stances, drills, and moves, presented without any comment. If you're looking for a very simple outline-like primer, this is your book, but if you want a detailed resource, move on.

Great to re-add to a lost collection of 1st editions! Thank you XLANT product & seller

Great information on using your weapon as an extension of your hands. Easy to follow, well laid out flow with pictures

Quality reading only in black and white

A défaut de trouver un tel livre en français, je me suis tourné vers l'anglais et malgré cela il est intéressant.
