Manga Martial Arts by David Okum

Draw the Warriors of the World

Conflict is the basis of all great storytelling, and it doesn't get more dramatic than two people engaged in hand-to-hand combat. With Manga Martial Arts, you can devise awesome and authentic fight scenes studded with killer moves and devastating blows that will render your readers breathless.

From proper stances and movements to uniforms and weapons, this guide covers everything you need to know to depict 10 popular martial art styles in action:

  • Aikido
  • Boxing
  • Capoeria
  • Judo
  • Karate
  • Kickboxing
  • Kung Fu
  • Ninjitsu
  • Tae Kwon Do
  • Wire Fu
You'll learn about the guiding principles and traditions behind each fighting style, from the self-defense philosophy of Aikido, to the ferocious attacks of kick boxing, to the acrobatic flips and gravity-defying leaps of Wire Fu. Step-by-step demonstrations show how to draw key moves, so your characters can deliver perfectly-executed hand strikes, hip throws and spinning back kicks. (Ouch That's gotta hurt )

Complete with expert advice on depicting battle and delivering awesome fight scenes, Manga Martial Arts is proof that the pen is truly mightier than the sword
