The first Edition of the book was reviewed and rated 4.5 stars by Amazon customers. A representative review went: "Excellent resource. by Loren W. Christensen. I like martial arts books that present a fighting concept in package form, and that is exactly what Marc De Bremaeker has done with Low Kicks. The many photos illustrate clearly the various kicks and targets that can easily be used by all martial arts systems, such as karate, krav maga, muay Thai, TKD, kung fu, and so on. The exception being styles with a sport slant. One particular aspect I like is how the book is sprinkled with quality drawings of techniques. Some techniques show up best on the page when drawn. That is the case here. Low Kicks discusses and illustrates in photos and drawings single techniques, combinations, and against hand-held bags. As a guy who has been teaching and training in the martial arts since 1965, I highly recommend Low Kicks. "

Sacrifice Kicks
Author: Marc De Bremaeker
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780993496479
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
'Sacrifice Kicks' will comprehensively present the most important Martial Arts Airborne Kicks: Flying Kicks, Hopping Kicks, Jumping Kicks and Suicide Kicks. They have been dubbed 'Sacrifice' in the spirit of Judo's redoubtable Sutemi Takedowns in which one sacrifices his balance in order to throw his opponent down. Flying Kicks are not about showmanship, they are very effective techniques when used judiciously. They need not be necessarily high and spectacular; they can be surprising Jumping Kicks and Hopping Kicks executed long and low. And Suicide Kicks take the Sacrifice principles a little further: they are extremely unexpected techniques delivered airborne, but with little hope of landing on one's feet, unlike classic Flying Kicks. All these realistic maneuvers, coming from Karate, Krav Maga, Kung Fu, TaeKwonDo, MMA, Capoeira, Muay Thai and more, are described with applications and training tips. Over 1000 Photos and Illustrations will help you develop your airborne kicking skills, regardless of your personal style.

Joint Kicks: Destruction of the Opponent's Limbs
Author: Marc De Bremaeker
Publisher: Fons Sapientiae Publishing
ISBN: 9780995795242
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Joint Kicks are probably the most effective way to neutralize an assailant in real-life situations. By attacking the opponent's articulations you ensure that they will not be able to keep on the fight; they will not be able to punch you with a damaged arm and they will not be able to run after you with a busted leg. Joint Kicks are basically regular kicks to be delivered towards specific targets and with the focused intention to cause damage. This is Martial arts in their purest sense and not sport techniques. In real life, you could easily encounter an assailant with a high resistance to pain. It could the high adrenalin levels, alcohol intoxication or drugs. But it will be very different from free-fighting in the dojo. If he is impervious to the pain of your blows, only by destroying the attacker's infrastructure will you be able to overcome him. The book reflects on the mindset behind Joint Kicks and presents numerous examples of their use. With over 800 Photos and Drawings.

Stop Kicks

ISBN: 9781938585340
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Stop Kicks are among the most effective, sophisticated kicks a fighter can use. And because they hit your opponent at his most vulnerable, they are also the safest way to pre-empt or counter an attack. Stop Kicks are delivered just as your opponent is fully committed to an attack, physically or mentally, meaning it is too late for him to change his mind. Hitting an opponent in mid-attack gives you the added advantage of using his attacking momentum against him. This book presents a well organised array of stop-kicking techniques from a wide range of martial arts. Learn Pushing Kicks, Timing Kicks, Cutting Kicks, Obstruction Kicks, and Block Kicks from the hard-hitting styles of Muay Thai, Karatedo, Krav Maga, Tae Kwon Do, MMA, Kung Fu and more. Regardless of the Art you practice, Stop Kicks will become the secret weapon of your arsenal and will make you a better and a more sophisticated fighter. To paraphrase a well-known author: the most dangerous fighter, the one you should fear, is the one who waits patiently for you to make a mistake. Marc De Bremaeker will teach you how to be that fighter.
