| John Burke is one of the most exciting students of "real-world karate" in the UK. Revealing the wisdom learned from mentors like Russell Stutely, Anthony Blades, and Patrick McCarthy, John explores the value and application of pressure points in real fighting.
The book starts with an extensive introduction to pressure point and element theory, as well as such fascinating subjects as oriental medicine, meridians, and the OODA loop (observe, orient, decide, act). It then progresses to reveal nearly additional 100 pages of pressure points, complete with photos and guidance on how best to strike them, and with what part of your body. This is a serious resource written in easy-to-understand language, that will likely be best appreciated by dedicated students and instructors. If you've ever felt that your martial arts was missing an important piece, this may be the book that fills it for you. Can be applied to any unarmed combat style.
