As the author of several books on martial arts and combat, they are always looking for books to add are of exceptional quality to my library. If I have a book in my library, it is definitely worth owning. A book by Michael D. Echanis is "," Knife Self-Defense for combat. "This book is available directly from the Hwarang Korean martial art and had studied their current Grandmaster Joo Bang Lee, Echanis among the first before his death in Nicaragua affected.
This book togetherhis companion two-volume, "Fighting Stick base to fight" and "Knife Fighting, Knife Throwing for Combat," were not initially released to the public, but they were only for certified and recognized self-defense instructor. These books were originally intended for military to military training manuals for the various elite units of the United States. These units were, like the Special Forces, Army Rangers, Navy Seals, etc.
This volume, like the other two in thisSeries begins combat with a small section on the history of the Hwarang and their relationship to you, hand in hand. This is another short section on the theory and the internal dynamics, which followed, the art looks very impressive.
The next section of this book goes into good detail the basic principles to defend against an attacker armed with a knife involved. This section is very well done and offers a lot of very good advice. It ends with theFollowing:
4 Essential Rules unarmed self-defense against assault weapons
1 Clear your body the weapon to the firing line and angle.
2 Stabilization and control of weapons ...
3 Disarm the gun ...
4 Neutralize the enemy ...
This section concludes with the following quote the author: "No matter how good the expert unarmed to disarm an attacker armed, remains vulnerable to the smallest weapons expert." In relation totopic, truer words have been said?
The author goes on 38 ways to disarm an attacker armed with a knife to demonstrate. The author stresses that these only as examples for the reader of this book as a guide for the correct technique to use for his works. It is not intended to be a panacea or the gospel of self defense knife. Use your ingenuity to find and develop their self-defense methods with which the author has shownas a guide.
I have read other reviews where the reader some of the passages in this book have criticized as unrealistic and kind of complicated. I do not think this is the case and not see that when I read the book, the author expected. However, if you read this book under the impression that the 38 techniques was carried out exactly as they are, instead, are presented as they were intended as a guideline to follow, then yes, I do not see where this misunderstandingcould come.
Despite the clarity of the recordings was excellent and easy to follow, I felt that the descriptions could have been a little 'longer and more detailed. I would also like to see some close-ups of some of the hook and hand positions. In addition to this, this is a very good book and what should be on your list, buy, if not already in possession.
