Book Details

This book gives the reasons why and when

for the how-to in martial arts.

Many times in martial arts, as in sports, we are taught techniques and basic moves without ever really knowing why and when they should be performed, so our skills only reach a certain level. Never seeming to go up to a new skill level no matter how hard we train, while many times injuring ourselves.

This book gives the reasons why and when that can help develop a more dynamic martial art and sport. With insights on body mechanics, physiology and psychology this book rebuilds our stance from the ground up, while getting an understanding of the psychology that defines us.

 

About the Author

William Lachman

Teaching a modified, combative version of Isshinryu karate, William Lachman (Bill) has taken techniques and basic moves from Isshinryu and other classical martial arts, updated and modified them from an engineering point of view then, reapplied them to create a street style martial art. Included in this street style martial art Bill would teach such things as “schoolyard rules”, doing the unexpected and the economy of motion.

Later, Bill started tailoring his teachings around the student’s favorite sport, so as the student improved in their martial art they also improved in their sport.

From both teaching street martial arts and tailoring the martial arts around the student’s sport, Bill came to realize that there were certain fundamentals of understanding that the students seem to miss. So, Bill put these fundamentals here in this book so all could have.
