[color=red]The Throws and Takedowns of Sombo (Take Downs & Throws)
Ground fighting is taking the martial arts world by storm, but how do you get to the ground safely and end in a prone position? What are the dangers of throwing and taking an opponent over? In this book on throwing and take-down techniques of Sambo, the author teaches how to control vertical grappling and destroy an assailant with a demolishing throw. Including the original "blow before throw" techniques banned from sport grappling at the beginning of the century.
The Throws and Takedowns of Judo (Take Downs & Throws)
There has been a lot said of late about the art of grappling or, more specifically, the art of ground fighting. The grappling arts are enjoying a well-earned and long-awaited revival. Grappling was in vogue in the early part of this century, a period known as the Golden Age of Wrestling, but it popularity waned just before – and probably due to – the Great War, only to be reborn post-war as ‘show grappling’. It would seem that grappling has always lain hidden within
the shadow of contemporary combat, probably due to its unembellished demeanour. Its devastating potency is often hidden (to the uninitiated) by its lack of obvious aesthetic; people have been drawn instead to the superfluously spectacular kicking arts. However, the world of combat, and more specifically the world of martial arts, has now evolved and many of the more spectacular systems have failed the acid test of time and the pressure test of reality.
The Throws and Takedowns of Free-style Wrestling (Take Downs & Throws)
Welcome to the throws and take-downs of freestyle wrestling, thank you for taking the time to read this book. You are probably well aware of the fact that grappling and ground fighting are the current favourites in the world of martial arts, and much has been said of late about the grappling arts. They seem to be experiencing something of a revival, a well-earned and long awaited renaissance. Between 1899 and 1914, proper wrestling (rather than ‘show wrestling’) was huge, so much so that the period was called the Golden Age of Wrestling. People like Hackeschmidt, Pojelo, Stalislauz Sabisko and the Great Turk actually made their fortunes in the wrestling rings of Europe. The wrestlers of the day were revered, much like the pop stars of today.
The Secret of KI-End of Injury
The techniques found in this book come primarily from martial art techniques and many people are prejudiced against martial arts because in America the martial arts do not have the excellent and respected reputation they do in the Orient. The reason due to the fact that many people in America profess themselves to be better than they are and they have too little knowledge and too poor of technique but are going around telling everyone that they are the greatest.[/color]
