The Book Of Martial Power by Steven Pearlman

Across the various martial arts, basic principles about the body in combat lead to different, often contradictory philosophies and techniques. A practitioner of Judo might advocate grappling, whereas an advocate of Tae Kwon Do would argue that one should strive to maintain distance from an opponent to allow the use of the legs. Here, Steven Pearlman aims to consolidate a compilation of fundamental principles that can guide the individual martial artist to the ideal action.
Steven J. Pearlman has been training in the martial arts since 1984 and has studied Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Malaysian and Western martial arts styles. He has been teaching at elite level since 1989. In 1999 he was hired by the Smithsonian Institute to coordinate and curate a martial arts lecture series. He lives in Pennsylvania.
