Throws for Strikers: The Forgotten Throws
of Karate, Boxing & Taekwondo by Iain Abernethy
Many martial artists are now critically re-evaluating the effectiveness of their chosen art. As a result, it is now more widely understood that to be a truly effective martial artist, you need to be competent at all ranges of fighting. Practitioners of striking systems need to be sure that they know what to do at close-range in case their strikes don’t end the fight. The need for these basic grappling skills was fully understood by the martial artists and boxers of the past. It is only in comparatively recent times – due to the martial arts changing their focus from self-defence to sport and physical-development – that the striking arts have neglected the close-range techniques covered in this book. |
