Sinopse

Footwork has always been regarded as one of the most important elements to the success of a Martial Artist's performance. However, almost all comments heard about this topic are, usually, generic at best: "great footwork", "amazing speed", "better footwork", thus failing to build a better understanding about what makes up effective footwork. This easy to read book with over 100 photos looks to shed some light on this issue by analysing and systematizing:

  • The variables that make up effective footwork
  • The difference between offensive and defensive footwork
  • The relationship between footwork when using weapons of different length
  • How to learn footwork so as to have it transfer into sparring
