It has long been known that a trained focus on mind and body co-ordination can contribute greatly towards a sense of harmony and well-being, so it is not surprising that more and more people are turning towards the ancient disciplines of the martial arts as a way of alleviating the stresses, tensions and fears – both physical and mental – of modern times.
Using specially commissioned step-by-step photographs and drawing on the expertise of many highly-qualified practitioners, this superb book looks in detail at each discipline – its history and philosophy, the basic etiquette, important warm-up exercises, the most popular techniques and some of the more advanced moves.
Ultimate Martial Arts is the perfect reference guide for those already involved with martial arts, and an invaluable sourcebook for anyone interested in pursuing a course in one of these ancient arts.
